Review on Magnetic Hold Down Square by Bessey, WMS-5 by Neil Bodell

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Made in India for Carpenter's Squares

Received my "Bessey" brackets only to find they are not the ones pictured. Not only do they look different, they are also made in India instead of Austria. Upon closer inspection, they're no better made than the cheap Chinese kits I've owned for years. Of course the magnet is strong, just like in my Chinese set. I was willing to pay a little more for quality but I didn't get that. Second, the inner magnet is exposed. The squares don't even have a common strip of metal around the perimeter to keep the magnet from clogging with metal shavings. I went to eb@y and got two of the best quality for the price of one of them.

Pros
  • Package Weight: 635.04g
Cons
  • No Instructions
