Speaking of Bessey's, are they really that good?


Official Marketspeak:

http://www.americanclamping.com/products/wood/KBody.php

In short:

* Jaws are parallel - so you don't need shims, and they don't mar.
* The jaws are large - so you need fewer clamps
* The jaws are covered with no-stick plastic, (glue comes off easy)
* They lay flat on a flat surface, sideways or on end
* Can apply 1000 pounds of pressure (very important when you want
to starve a glue joint!!)

(I wasn't in the market, but with the buzz here, and the big sale, I
bought 6).

I just checked and
"Bessey KBK2440 Cabinet Door Clamp Kit"
is still on sale from Amazon for $99, list price of $230.
