Does anyone use these clamps:

The two things that look interesting to me is that they are cheaper
than the Bessy and the handle can be swiveled 90 degrees to make
it easier to increase clamping pressure, but I have no sense of
the quality of these compared to others.

I just sent some back....great clamp, not quite K quality, but good...overall, the 90 deg angle helps, but the Stanley Bailey Paralell clamps still beat them easily, with NO 90 degree, they still achieved 300 lbs more pressure vs. the Woodline.

The problem with the Woodline clamp is the release system, its very troublesome to slide the handle up n back... a typical Chinese product, 90% good, but the 10% lacking makes the product not worthy. I may have got a bad batch, i am surprised Woodline doesn't check em before shipping.... bummer...
