Tools and Hardware Reviews of Jorgensen 8048 Cabinet Master 48-Inch 90-Degree Parallel Steel Bar ClampCustomer Review: Best K-body clamp made
I bought a set of 4 ((2) 48" and (2) 24") Jorgensen K-body clamps to do cabinet doors. I compared side by side with the Bessey k-bodies and these came out ahead far enough to make my choice for me. (1) larger face area to spread the load, (2) beefier I-beam between the clamp faces to withstand more torque and pressure, (3) a removable "foot" at the end that keeps the clamp level and allows the adjustable face to slide without lifting the clamped object AND lets you take the adjustable face off and reverse it for a spreader function, (4)The price was comparable, and (5) they matched the rest of my Jorgensen F-body clamps (of which I have a bunch) so my collection stays color coordinated :-) The two draw backs I would mention are (1) they are heavy and bulky so will not always be the first you reach for on simple clamping tasks (just the ones you want really square and solid) and (2) if you back the hand screw all the way out, then slam the jaw home, it will jam shut and you may have to get a screw driver and pry the locking pawl back a bit to get the jaw to release. Not much more than an annoyance but usually happens when you are trying to clamp one handed and are holding your work with the other. This usually results in some severe mumbling while you lay everything down, unstick the clamp, then try to set it all up again (still one handed). Over all they are more than worth it and I intend to purchase more as my budget allows!
