Bessey recently purchased the clamping business of Gross Stabil. Not sure of all the details but both of these companies make some awesome, high quality clamps. Although Bessey's K-Body Parallel Jaw Clamps have an outstanding reputation for performance, Gross Stabil engineered what may have been the only truly competitive clamp of the same or higher caliber than the K-Body. In fact, some would argue the German made PC-2, with 1,100 pounds of clamping force, is a better clamp. Here are some of the key features;

Reinforced glass filled nylon jaws for high strength to weight ratio.

Malleable cast iron locking mechanism.

Heavy duty galvanized steel rail to ensure 90вк clamping and rust resistance.

Micro serrations on the galvanized steel rail for slip proof working.

Acme threaded spindle for smooth action.

Replaceable non-marring plastic clamping pads keep work piece protected.

Durable solid wood handles are easy to grip.

Up to 1,100 lbs. of clamping force.

Reversible head allows clamp to double as a spreader.

Sorry, but we can't take back orders once supplies have been sold out. Gross-Stabil PC-2 clamps are no longer in production.
