Your cart is empty.Jorgensen Handscrews hold tightly over broad areas, providing greater reach and a wider distribution of pressure than other clamps. The jaws hold odd shapes easily, are capable of overlapping, and provide protection against marring of finished surfaces. 8 in. total length, 4-1/2 in. maximum opening, 3-7/8 in. reach.

Clamps were misaligned. They grabbed when spinning. I’ve used Jorgensen clamps for 40 years. I could not understand why these were so shoddy. Then I saw the ‘Made in China’ sticker. I could not believe it. There is no place in Amazon’s description that says that they were made in China. I am really disappointed Mr. Jorgensen. I will no longer trust your tools.

I was expecting a more robust product for the price paid. It’s a vital tool for hand crafted woodworking. It’s use and functionality have been diminished due to the products overall size, strength and stability.

No great surprises here, better value than other brands but my example had some rough grain on a couple of the champhered edges, nothing a touch of class paper wouldn't cure but there you are. I would buy again.

I purchased this to repair furniture vs sending pieces out. The money was well spent. The tool is very well made and looks like it will lasts literally a lifetime.

Good quality, works perfectly with my Incra finger joint tool. You really need to hold each panel tight & straight. The small size is perfect and the handsscrew action is perfect.

Definitely well-made in the USA. After reading the other reviews here these are just what I was expecting. Very high quality.Just an FYI that the numbering used for the Jorgensen DIY kits does not directly correspond to the size of the pre-made clamps.For instance, the Size 0 clamps that I purchased would be the J-08 DIY kit (the numbers of the kits are the length of the body of the clamps).

These little rascals are expensive for what they consist of. I happened to buy three different brands in a short period, thinking that they should all be generally the same--they are not. The quality of the wood, how the parts are attached and the beefiness of the screws set this apart from the other two. I was surprised that the Bessey product was rather cheaply made in comparison. The differences might not be so apparent unless they were side by side. These get used frequently in my shop and all three serve the purpose, the Jorgensen just a bit better.

Mine arrived in perfect condition. This clamp is very well made and worked just like I had hoped. Jorgensen makes a nice product here, and this type of clamp is really useful for many jobs around your wood shop. I purchased this one to use with the Incra I-box jig (reviewed separately) that I got to make box joints, and it is a must for that application. This type of clamp has many other applications too, so as a relatively novice woodworker I plan to buy more of this type of Jorgensen clamp in various sizes.

Seem to be the same old wood clamps, but was incredibly disappointed when I saw a "Made in China" sticker on them. The threaded rod is a bright shinny silver now - haven't used them long enough to know if the quality has dropped or not. Minus 2 stars for moving production to China. If you don't care about that, you'll likely be happy with these.

Any woodworking shop needs lots of clamps of different types. These handscrews are particularly useful for clamping two or more pieces of wood together across their thickness rather than their width. Of course other types of clamps will do that too - some will be cheaper and faster -but none will work better.There is no comparison between these handscrews and say, quick acting bar clamps (like Irwin Quick Grip). The primary difference is that you can apply far more force with a handscrew than with most any other type of clamp you would use in its place. These are also great for temporarily clamping lumber to your workbench or to a jig while machining. With a handscrew, you can be confident that the workpiece will not move.I enthusiastically recommend these clamps and their big brothers.
