Bessey has been a leading manufacturer of woodworking clamps for years, and their new U-Style LMU Light-Duty Bar Clamps live up to their reputation for quality. While there are advantages to this woodworking clamp that other models don't feature, this clamp isn't acceptable for every woodworking task. However, it certainly does what it is designed to do quite well.

The Alpha-Clamp by the Lowell Thomas Tool company from Bozeman, MT, is about as versatile of a bar clamp as I've ever used. The same 18" bar clamp can be used as a c-clamp, a spreader, a floor-standing clamp or jack and even a hanging lift. Covered by a lifetime defect warranty and made in the USA, this is one versatile, well-built woodworking clamp. Read the entire review of the Alpha-Clamp.

Dremel has been known for their rotary cutting tool for years, but Dremel also makes a line of woodworking clamps. In this woodworking tool review, we test both the model 2515 (30mm max jaw opening) and the model 2520 (50mm max) ratchet clamps.

6. Dremel Bar Clamps

The Dremel 2505 Bar Clamp is a very unique, small bar clamp. It seems quite strong for it's miniature size, the clamping mechanism holds quite well, and the unit can be converted to a mini-spreader as well as used as a clamp. However, with only a 4-1/4" maximum opening, the unit can only be used for very small woodworking projects.
7. Rockwell Jawhorse Workbench

One advantage that woodworkers have over carpenters on a construction site is a heavy duty workbench with a vise. The Rockwell Jawhorse Workbench has eliminated that advantage. The portable, sturdy Rockwell Jawhorse Workbench is perfect for the job site: strong, durable and heavy-duty. Learn the advantages of the Rockwell Jawhorse Workbench in this Woodworking Review.
