🔩 Bessey CM34DR - Heavy-Duty 3 Inch and 2 Inch Malleable Clamp Review

Needed a low cut clamp to secure equipment to a rounded edge stainless steel table. So happy I found this combination of deep throat and narrow collar.

I have a collection of C-Clamps & Spring Clamp from small to large. I've found more use in the smaller C clamps that work with plybd and 2x4. I didn't have enough deep throats on hand, I could have used a few more.

I needed a deeper neck clamp for repair work. It's a nice well made clamp with the neck size I wanted but it's too heavy I needed clamp pressure not weight. I'm not sure what I'm going to use it for. My fault for not understanding the weight factor. Suitable for carpentry etc. The thread is well cut.

Wanted this clamp so I can clamp 2 pieces. of 2x material BUT it won't. 2x nominal 1.5" stock cannot be held by these clips. The clamps will open to about 2.9" with only some force. I bought 6 of these and they are all the same. Do not buy if you have a full one want 3 inch opening!

As other reviewers have noted, this is not a 3" clamp, it is a 2-3/4" clamp. The clamp I received has the fixed jaw tilted to one side, about 5-8 degrees. I expect this won't matter much for regular home projects, but for precise gluing, a clamp like this will put lateral pressure and potentially dislodge parts. It's not an expensive clip (a comparable HFT device costs less than half that), but it's certainly cheaply made.
