I feel that the Bessy clamps, kBody or revo, are built a little too
tight. They can be crotchety to slide open or close.
Also their screw travel is short. I find that once the clamp engages to
actually start clamping you have used up more than half of the travel.
If you use clamps a lot this becomes very irritating. A big issue when
trying to close a mortise and tenon joint on each end of a rail.



I generally use a finger to hold the bottom of the sliding wedge in
the correct direction for it to catch immediately - only requires a
couple turns of the handle to get it tight.
