Woodcraft still seems to have them.


No Woodcraft in Canada. A number of stores like Lee Valley still list the
Besseys but there's none in stock. I'm sure if I put in the requisite
time
and effort I could find some Besseys somewhere, but to me time and
convenience are worth far more than a few dollars or a matching set of
clamps.

I think I will try out the Cabinetmasters. They have a good reputation
and
the 1" extra jaw length is a bonus. At the very least, they don't appear
to
have an inept marketing department like Bessey Manufacturing.



A majority of my clamps are Cabinet Masters if you can buy direct,

They usually are pretty competitive in pricing. They often have sale
pricing.


I have both brands. I like the Cabinet Masters better.
