Product Description
Irregular shapes, unusual objects, picture frames or circular work are no match for this innovative new Bessey clamp. With a 23 long x 1" wide, high tensile strength polyester "no stretch" strap that winds up for safe and easy management, and four unique "vario-angles" that exert continuous pressure on the joints, this is more than just a strap clamp. Special winding gears at the head of the threaded spindle draw the strap evenly from both sides guaranteeing distortion free clamping. Additional vario-angles are sold separately in packs of six.

 Framework is impossible without - this thing is sweeeeeet! December 23, 2004

DEC 2004 ENTRY: I can't believe how nice this stap clamp from Bessey is. Because it's designed so well, the product worked easily right out of the box ... no instructions needed. Two things make this device work well: 1. corner/angle plates and 2. the tensioner. First the angle plates have unique swivel pads so they fit up to the frame and provide even pressure without damaging the frame. Second, the tensioner is so easy to use, yet extremely powerful - can really ratchet down on the frame to close up the not so perfect miter joints. DEC 2005 UPDATE: I'd give this clamp a 6 if I could. This is the only clamp that's designed to clamp more than 4 corners/sides. I was able to so successfully glue an 8-sided octagon frame together. To my amazement, all the joints were perfect when I took the clamp off the next day [see my picture of a in-laid granite lazy-susan]. I really love this clamp. Does what a million other corner clamps can't ... turn out perfect frames every time. I was so impressed with the value of this clamp that I bought my brother one. Again see my posted picture - notice the seamless joints.

This is a nice strap clamp kit. The key is the adjusting system. At first I thought, why not just use a strapping tie down assembly available at the local home center, at a third of the price. After all, it is a nylon web strap and it has a tightening and releasing system. The problem is that it gives you tighteness in a racheting fashion. So you are either at one click or the next one. No fine adjustment. Additionally, without the corner braces that comes with the Vario kit, you would be catching the corners, and creating a less than equal pressure.
All told this Bessey kit is a very nice unit, and does a good job. For the money it would be hard to beat. Highly recommended.
4 Corner clips are not enough November 30, 1999

I recently purchased two of these clamps to try out. I purchased two of them because I needed more than the 4 corner clips that come with it. Most stores do not carry the VAC-6 extra package of six clamps. I am sure that slows down sale of that clamp. I have several other Bessey clamps and they are wonderful and very useful.
Best band clamp ever June 9, 2004
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
If you have ever struggled with clamping frames or boxes together, you will love this clamp. The adjustable angle corner brackets are easy to place in the desired location and when pressure is applied, it is applied evenly on all the brackets. Speaking of pressure, this clamp can apply alot of it, I mean tight, without slipping at all. The wheel next to handle is ideal because it stores any extra band not in use. The band is made of what appears to be polyester, but it definately has my confidence that it will not tear or break. Of all my clamps in the shop, this is one of my favorites. It just plain works well and turns what used to be a hard job into and easy one.

I have been crafting serving trays and never found a good way to clamp a side cut at a 30 degree angle. This does the job beautifully. I now own two.
