re: Bessey KRE-VO... Completed upgrade.

I'm far from a clamp guru... I'm just a man of convenience... but now you've got me worked up 

When anyone sees me in action, they fully appreciate my dependence  on props, to make whatever I undertake to not fully fail.  I will buy whatever I think will make my life easier... it's too bloody short to root around trying to make do and discover workarounds... though I do like the challenge brought about by jigs.

I'm always on the lookout for novel clamps....  so if you have any weirdos I'd love to see them.

I have a great diversity of them... some quite gimmicky like these Jack clamps,

no idea what spurred me on to buying them... but I remember seeing some promos where they can be configured better than a double jointed circus performer.

I rate these Besseys fairly highly and have a few different lengths,

and are great for those quick one handed operations... they also spread.

These Torquata are also brilliant when compared to other ratchet clamps (even the Fe$tool),

all have their adjusters fully forward.  You can see that the two below stick out forward while the Torquata is flush with the imaginary "surface".

Hate these bloody things,

and no sooner I toss them out or give them away, a few more seem to appear in the workshop.

The most useless clamps in the world are these Kreg pocket hole clamps,

well most useless until I modified them to work like "normal" clamps.

A few more gimmicky that I keep forgetting I had even if I actually needed them,

this latter one I use to hold my tapes and small dead-blow mallet.

... and lets not get into hold downs,

Still waiting on a review topic here so I can start my rant about the TSO lock dogs that I now use instead of clamps,
