BESSEYGSCC2.536, 36 In, 600 lb clamping force, Clutch Style bar Clamp, Black/Red

I have a plethora of clamps - but few that have beyond a 24in capacity. These 36in Bessey clamps were reasonably priced (and I have a number of other Bessey clamps that I really like) so I decided to give them a shot. They've been great! I mostly use them to clamp down face-frames during cabinet builds - and they've been great for that. To note - they are lightweight clamps (the shaft of the clamp isn't heavy or thick) so they will deflect a fair amount - but that's to be expected. You just want to be conscious of that deflection and counter it by reversing your clamp locations as you go - or simply being thoughtful about what effect it will have on the project.Cheers!

Thumbs up!

Easy to use, strong, always work for me !

This is the best F style clamp that I have used. I I find These clamps Tend to Lose their grip. If you are looking for an F clamp, then this is probably your best choice. I suggest you consider the type of clamp that you want to buy carefully

One of the Best Helping Hands, Bessey Bar Clamps. Got another one for it's size 36 " & bar is sturdy enough to handle 2"x10''boards. This is my helping hand building a wooden tool box 6 ft long x 2 ft wide. It's clamping down 1 inch thick Plyboard & 2"x2"s. Using this tool for 2"x10"boards for smaller wood tool box. Bessey Bar Clamps are good clamps & for the price. One of the best reasonable names for quality & price.

I've been using clamps like this for 50 years. Bessey has always produced a quality product. At this price point, you can' too better.

For the price I am very impressed, this is a heavy duty clamp, I will buy more and I recommend you do the same.

First I’ve ever used a clamp as large as this. The table and bench came out perfect. It was a time saver and helped make things more accurate and level. Like having two extra sets of hands.
