| | | |  Amazon.com Review:
The best ideas are often the simplest, which explains why Jorgenson is well known among woodworkers as the maker of some of the best clamps available, and their 3/4-inch steel bar clamp is no exception. No shop can have too many of these. They offer a basic, reliable design--featuring a crank handle, no holes, no rivets, and no notches--that leaves little room for improvement. These clamps are great for a huge variety of jobs, can be used on any length of pipe your task requires, and can be relied on to keep their grip without loosening up or slipping. Removing the clamps when the job is done is quick and easy every time. Sure, some may say that a clamp is a clamp, and to some extent that's true. But with so many brands on the market, there's a reason it's so hard to find a shop that's not full of Jorgenson clamps. If you're looking for reliable clamps at a price that allows you to buy as many as you need, Jorgensen clamps are tough to beat. --Brian Trinen | | | | |

Rating :  - Excellent, Inexpensive Clamps- A Real Bargain
These clamps are a real bargain, and in spite of the low price you simply do not sacrifice anything in terms of performance. I needed a set of four 72" clamps, and these are really the only option. I cannot speak to the Bessey equivalents (which I suspect are good as well), or the many cheap no-name versions of these, but I trust the Jorgensen name and am glad to be able to support U.S. manufacturing when possible. I have one suggestion for these: although the manufacturer recommends black pipe, I use galvanized instead. I clean the pipe of residue with turpenol (any solvent/degreaser would probably do), and I do not have the issue of making marks on the wood surfaces. I am not sure why Jorgensen recommends black pipe; it may be a perceived cost difference. Also, per the excellent suggestion of another reviewer, I attach rubber walking can tips on the exposed pipe end, which does prevent inadvertent marring of other surfaces and protects the thread from damage. With an investment of $12 per 72" of galvanized pipe at Sears, I had solid, long clamps for $27 apiece. Awfully hard to beat.
