The are powder coated, ductile cast iron jaws. Selected models available with 2K cushion grip handle. Simply better. Ergonomic Handle - Our Bessey GSCC2 clutch style bar clamp is designed with an ergonomic handle, providing you with a comfortable grip while working on your woodworking projects.
Works fine for basic carpentry and incidental repair work. Have been using one with other clamps and this worked so well I bought another. The adjusting mechanism works smoothly - only need to add some nonskid pads to the jaws - a sijmple procedure with sandpaper or thin blocks of wood. The clamps hold well and useful for gluing pieces of wood. An excellent value for the price and I may even obtain a couple more in the future.
