I was in a shop recently where the staff preferred the Gros Stabil's to
both the Jorgys and the Besseys. Pretty high-end shop, with loads of
work too.

I use these.

I do a fair amount of welding/fabrication and these clamps are fabulous. I
also have maybe 6 sets of the PC2 48" Parallel clamps as well. Good quality
and they work great. I'll buy them when they are cheaper than the K-body.
The K-body's I have are also very good clamps. Scott Phillips now has his
name scribbled on them and that irks me a bit but after a quick shot of
paint, I'm fine with them. One can never have too many clamps!

Yup, those are the ones. When I saw them in the flyer, I scratched my head
'cause I'd not seen them before from Bessey, and checked the Bessey website.
Nowhere to be found, but sure enough, they're on the GS website.
But you know, I didn't look at the price carefully. 52 clams for a 50". The
Bessey K-bodys are only 58 for that size and the Jorgys are 51 at LV. Hmmm,
why bother?

I have 8 or ten of these. They're every bit as good as KBodies, of which I
have more. Made in Germany, no?
