great clamps
By Dan Briggs
Had to buy 2 of these when book case I was building was "redesigned" lol.The clamps are excellent and very strong, also very heavy and a lil difficult for 1 person to handle. Am very concerned tho of the price increase in less than 6 months, from $49.00 to $69.00 each, even faster than gas prices..........

By New Yankee
This review was originally written back in May 2006 and deleted by Amazon in December 2006, so we will see how long this will last.Bought two of the 98 inch K-bodies back in March 2006 over the phone from Toolcrib / Amazon and was told they had plenty in stock, they arrived three months later, finally. I wasn't worried about them flexing for the length they are, anybody that has ever clamped with Bessey K-bodies knows, not a problem, five stars for Bessey, one star for shipping. Here's the story, I received two 82 inch K-bodies instead in March 2006, must of been a mis-pick from the warehouse, that happens, bad packaging, should not happen. One was shipped in a flimsy what looks like a cereal box wrapped on one of them, broken red end inside. The other one was packed in bubble wrap, single layered, torn opened and a broken red end, missing the black plastic ends. Called customer service to have them reorder the 98's, was told when they receive more in that I would be placed on the top of the order list, NOT! I received two 98's six weeks later in worst shape then the 82's, could not even use them being damaged on the inside clamping surfaces. Reordered online this time so I could change my shipping to two day and hope that would help, not even close, damaged on one of the handles, missing parts again. Finally was able to change out the OK parts with the broken ones before I sent the second two back to get two good clamps that will work. Tools are now shipping through Amazon warehouses, not Toolcribs, so do not expect too much. When Amazon mentioned free shipping, they forgot to mention the bad packaging job that was included. The price on these were $49 dollars each with a free 24 inch K-body when you buy two, which arrived in excellent shape, wrapped in bubble packing in a oversize box.

Amazon's shipping is PATHETIC
By George
I rated it all .. the product and how I received it and the customer service. I ordered the 98 inch clamp. Well, I ordered 2 of them with the free 24 incher. The 98's shipped separately, one by UPS and the other by FedEx home delivery. Seems wasteful, shipping them separate like that, but Amazon made up for it with the packaging. Again. I am getting sick of Amazon's packaging, and am close to finding someone else to make my purchases from.We got home on Friday night, and there was my clamp! Resting against the house in all it's glory! For all to see. I thought they came in boxes? Oh it did ... it came in 4 boxes ... well, really 4 pieces of boxes. Three of the box pieces weren't attached to anything. And one of them contained the mailing label! There was a small piece of box (3 feet) around the middle of the clamp --- that'll protect it some! At least UPS deleivered all the box pieces. And of course the clamp was damaged. The top and the bottom were damaged ... as to be expected, after all, the box pieces were just lying loose. Oh, and the packing slip was loose too, guess that makes 5 pieces that were shipped.After the challenges with getting a dust collector hose reshipped for being packed like a sardine and the replacement coming in an OPEN box with no packing material left, I had no doubt that a replacement clamp would fare no better. Off to the phone to complain again. Sigh. Spent 30 minutes on the phone explaining to the gal about how Amazon needs to pack the products better, and went through the recent history of packages that I received. I explained my dissatisfaction and recommended that even though they would send out replacement parts, it is still wasteful. I guess what Amazon saves on packing material and TAPE is more than they spend on sending out replacement parts.She said to box it up and send it back. DUH .... there is NO box to box it up with! I have 4 pieces of box. After further discussion, she put me on hold, then it was decided that if I wanted to keep the damaged clamp they would e-mail me a promotional certificate to use with my next order. I could live with that.3 days later, and no email. Grrrr ... I called them back. There was no record of my earlier discussion with Amazon. No feedback, no promotional certificate mentioned, etc. Double GRRRR. I guess Amazon really doesn't want to fix their packaging problem.However, Amazon did offer to send me out a replacement email, which I received while still on the phone. The person on the phone assured me that Amazon would fix the shipping problems immediately ... yea, right -- I was just born yesterday.At least MOST of the time Amazon's customer service is good. I guess this lady just figured she'd blow me off and leave it to me to call back. Amazon should fire her on the spot (if they could find her) .. but since there were no records of my conversation with her, I guess they will not find her.The second clamp arrived Saturday, buy Fed Ex. This one surrived the trip. The 3rd one is in the mail.So, rating 2 clamps, the shipping, the packaging, the customer servive averages to a 2. But I love Bessey clamps, so I will rate the experience a 3.
