Southwood Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Played this game last year, think I will stick with Bessey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Love the sale but, they would clash with my Bessey's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 My Besseys already clash with my Jorgensens. I'll just have to steal focus with all the Jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I bought some last year after watching Marc use his. They have the little release tab on them to open them. Play with them before buying to make sure that's what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I like that they have 3/4" bench dog posts on the adjustable stops for setting them in your bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChetlovesMer Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Today I have a nice mixture of old school Besseys, Bessey Revos, Jorgys and Jets. If I had to rank them I'd put them as follows: 1 - Bessey Revos 2 - Jets 3 - Old school Besseys 4 - Jorgensen Opinions are like backsides, however, everybody has one. And you usually assume everyone else's stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyrolan Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Chet, care to elaborate on the reasoning behind your rankings? I know it's just your opinion, but I'd still value your opinion over random reviews and whatnot online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcarswell Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Anybody have a link ? I've never had an issue with my jorgensen clamps of any kind really. F body Parallel or cabinet masters. I really like them and have never had one stick myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChetlovesMer Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Well, really you can't go wrong with any of the four. The old school Besseys I think are the original and still a great clamp. The Jorgy's are fine and they seem super strong like you could crush something into powder with them. The only thing about the Jorgy's that bothers me is that they seem to stick from time to time and that can be annoying. Both the Jets and the Revos are great clamps. My preference is for the Revos, but only slightly. I don't like the release tab thingie as much as the smooth operation of the Revos. Handle toward the bar to close away from the bar to open. Simple and smooth... Believe it or not I also like the little clips that come with the Revos. I use those all the time to make parallel sides and also simply to keep glue off the bars. In my opinion the Revos are the perfect parallel jaw clamp. I can't think how they could be improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estesbubba Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Well, really you can't go wrong with any of the four. Yup, I would buy based on price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ResidentEvil Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Seems like most of the online sites are showing a partially discounted price now, around 25% or so. I guess maybe they will discount them more tomorrow? Fwiw, last year it looks like the pricing for the sale was: 12": $22.50 24": $25.00 30": $30.00 40": $32.50 From acme tools based on a post from last year on this site.

Shane Jimerfield Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 cha ching! free shipping on $100 or more, which was really easy to do at 50% off. I could have got a bunch more, but had to restrain myself. And I think they will go nicely with my old-skool Besseys. I've basically got a hodge-podge of clamps any way. the more the merrier, or you can't have enough clamps - whatever colloquialism, it don't matter to me. But yes, I always get em' in teams of four.

Tom Cancelleri Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I can't decide how many to buy. 4 x 40in and 4 x 24in. Or 8 x 40in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyrolan Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 I did 4 x 40 and 4 x 31. I was also debating 8 x 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Cancelleri Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Ordered, now if only there was a Festool 50% off. I could use a RO90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ResidentEvil Posted November 28, 2014 Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 So, on Acme looks like the 12", 24" and 40" are half off. Others are regular price as of right now. Beaver Tools has those plus the 50" half off. Ordered 6 x 24", 6 x 40" from Acme before I checked Beaver. Once I saw they included the 50" I ordered 4 from them. Both places were free ground shipping for orders over $100. Officially in the dog house now, but should be set for clamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
