I was in a shop recently where the staff preferred the Gros Stabil's toboth the Jorgys and the Besseys.  Pretty high-end shop, with loads ofwork too.JP

"bob"I use these. do a fair amount of welding/fabrication and these clamps are fabulous.  I also have maybe 6 sets of the PC2 48" Parallel clamps as well.  Good quality and they work great.  I'll buy them when they are cheaper than the K-body. The K-body's I have are also very good clamps. Scott Phillips now has his name scribbled on them and that irks me a bit but after a quick shot of paint, I'm fine with them.  One can never have too many clamps!Dave  Posted Via  Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services----------------------------------------------------------    ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY **----------------------------------------------------------

Yup, those are the ones. When I saw them in the flyer, I scratched my head 'cause I'd not seen them before from Bessey, and checked the Bessey website. Nowhere to be found, but sure enough, they're on the GS website.But you know, I didn't look at the price carefully. 52 clams for a 50". The Bessey K-bodys are only 58 for that size and the Jorgys are 51 at LV. Hmmm, why bother?
