Product Description

For high pressure clamping, 90 degree clamping, or powerful spreading, the new K Body REVO is an ideal choice. Its large, parallel jaws are uniquely designed to distribute even pressure across the entire surface of your work to stop bowing, turning, and lifting.


The K Body's updated design includes three removable jaw protection caps to help prevent wear. They are glue-repellent, easily replaceable, and resist paint and grease solvents. A quick-release feature allows the movable jaw to slide up and down the rail by simply angling the comfortable Power-Grip handle. Plus, each clamp includes two slip-on workpiece supports that attach to the rail, providing a stable base and preventing direct contact between the clamp and the actual workpiece. Compatible with K-P clamp blocks and the K-Body Clamp Extender.

While I've heard of better clamps. . . and read reviews about these falling over and breaking. . . . .I keep that in mind during USE and STORAGE. . .but this is an EXCELLENT product. . . ..I bought 4 of these for clamping boards for big projects. . . . The best feature is the large throat these have for multiple boards. . . . .I am disappointed over a Month later Amazon STILL has not fixed the human error. . . . Out of the 4 I ordered. . . .3 came with the heads well packaged and I set these all aside and had to go to work as they came in minutes before I left and they brought this LARGE light box I couldn't figure out of the dozens of products I ordered what a GIGANTIC box was but just put it aside and left. . .came home and had a social with the neighbors and brought everything over to show off. . . opened the 3 clamps. . .used one of them on the spot to glue the binder part of a photo album together. . couldn't have done it without that deep throat. . . . then opened the BIG BOX all the while wondering where the 4th one is. . .thinking it was shipped separate maybe . . . .found the same sticker on the GIGANTIC box as was on the other 3 heads. . . but instead of my clamp. . I got a Gigantic DOG BED. Been trying to get this corrected with Amazon for over a MONTH and I'm now PISSED at paying $50 for a quality clamp and got a DOG BED instead. The first customer service guy I call was going to correct this right away but after finding out the clamp went UP $10 from what I paid. . . .that was all null and void. . . . .all attempts at PICKUP of this dog bed have failed. I now have to go through this all over again but I'm not taking off a star for this PRODUCT over the human error and GRIEF I've gone through because that has NOTHING to do with the product. I've been in jobs where I deal with NOTHING BUT human error and make it right. . . .I'm counting on AMAZON to do the same for me.. . . .How ANYONE that works in a warehouse can mistake a fairly heavy 50" Metal clamp for a LARGE LIGHT DOG BED is beyond me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bessey Clamp Redesign is Poor at Best
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2023
Bessey's previous design of the K Body parallel clamps were far superior to their latest version with all of its "improvements". During glue ups, it's too difficult to keep the bottom sliding jaw (and lock) from sliding back down the bar. The back of redesign jaw is now closed over with a plastic cover and the jaw lock can't be easily set. I do not recommend the redesigned K Body Revo parallel jaw clamps.

5.0 out of 5 stars In my opinion, the best clamps out there. But packaging needs improvement.

So far in my woodworking career, I've used many different types and brands of clamps. These are my favorite. They provide more than enough clamping force, and the large parallel jaws make it much easier to keep everything in line, especially when gluing up large panels. So far I've had no complaints. They are expensive, but well worth the price.

The packaging is a different story. It's not uncommon for the shipping box to arrive punctured and torn. One of the black jaw caps was broken upon arrival. Not a huge deal, but they really need to improve the packaging to prevent these large, heavy clamps from rattling around in transit.

The bessey 50" clamps are great. But two of the plastic pieces on the clamp were broke when they arrived. These plastic covers on the ends of the clamps could be improved. They're kind of flimsy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Took some getting used to, but worth it.

These are expensive, heavy, and take some getting used to, but after using Pony pipe clamps for about 40 years, I find myself going to these first nearly every time (considering the cost of pipe these days, the Pony clamps are no bargain, either). I like how they provide even pressure when I'm doing glue-ups. They are especially useful for gluing face frames.

I also like how the clamp pads stay on better than the Pony pads did. I finally gave up and took all the pads off the Pony clamps because I got tired of picking them up off the floor when they fell off.

Since these are so expensive, I only bought the 50-inch Revos and bought shorter Revo Juniors. That seemed to be the most economical way to get the number and variety of K-Body clamps that would suit my purposes.

2.0 out of 5 stars Subject to failure under heavy pressure
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2015
I'm in the process of building a workbench with a laminated top made of several boards glued together side by side. Because there are so many boards, you need a lot of clamping pressure to close any gaps. After gluing up the first slab, I affixed eight Bessey parallel clamps every twelve inches or so with no problems. When I repeated this procedure for the second slab, however, the cast aluminum in the sliding arm assembly broke on two clamps and cracked on a third. This happened with only hand-tightening.

I have big hands and am stronger than the average dude, but I would think that a clamp like this should be able to withstand as much pressure as you can muster tightening by hand. I have never broken a clamp before, so I can only attribute the failure to this particular clamp. I would be interested in knowing if the metal parts of these clamps were made in China.

High quality product that works fantastic for glue ups; also enables you to do multiple glue ups in one round.

It seems like they've resolved the packaging issue, as mine were probably over-secured. Took me a while to dispose of the inflatable packets, but better than a damaged product.
