About this item
- Well Thought Out - Ergonomically formed wooden handle
- Simple Set Up with Powerful Operation - Secure nominal clamping force up to 900 lbs. Operating jaw stays where you put it for easy set up. Position where you like and apply clamping force.
- Strong, Precise & Gentle – Capable of high strength with nominal 90 degree clamping. Non-marring pads and rail protection pieces serve to protect the workpiece from unnecessary marks.
- Cold Drawn Steel Rail Bar - Produced and tested with consistently high quality and the utmost precision in cutting-edge facilities.
- Large Clamping Surfaces - Clamping surfaces are oversized and distribute clamping force evenly. Three removable pressure caps are repellent to glue, and resistant to paint and grease solvents.
- 18-Inch capacity, 3-1/4-Inch throat depth parallel jaw bar clamp
- Removeable end stop allows reversing the operating head to convert from compression force to spreading force
- Slide on plastic jaw protector pads can be removed for cleaning and replacement when worn
- Plastic rail protector pads isolate the clamp material from the steel rail to minimize any contact between clamped material and steel rails which helps avoid discoloration stining that can occur with some wood, glues and steel contact
- High clamping force (900 lbs) to weight (2.8 lbs) relationship for verstile clamping and light weight

Product Description
The large jaw faces are an easily recognizable characteristic of the BESSEY K Body parallel and case clamps. They allow strong, precise and gentle clamping and spreading of workpieces. Thanks to their extra-large contact surfaces, the original BESSEY K Body REVO parallel clamp and the lightweight UniKlamp case clamp distribute clamping force evenly even when being used at high clamping forces. Cabinetmakers, Carpenters, Joiners and Kitchen fitters all benefit from the use of parallel jaw clamps because they are ideal for clamping large areas without damaging the material. When In use parallel clamps provide very accurate clamping support and are ideal for many applications including furniture making, restoration, cabinet construction, and holding large panels and frames in place when gluing. BESSEY offers the unique K Body REVO parallel clamp in two versions – with fixed (KRE) or sliding upper section (KREV) – each with a range of openings up to 2.5 meters. Both of these versions offer up to a nominal 90 degrees of clamping capability and 1700 lbs of everyday clamping force. Another advantage of the K Body REVO clamps is that they have additional workpiece supports on the rail that prevent the workpiece from coming into contact with the rail and being damaged. This also allows the clamps to be placed on the workbench and then used as a glue press. Further, the sliding clamp can also be converted to a spreading function without the need for tools, and there are also a number of accessories available. BESSEY. Simply better

- Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2024Built well.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2014This clamp is a Revo Jr. It's mechanism is similar to the Bessey Revo, but somewhat smaller. While my Revo clamps move easily up and down the bar when open, this Revo Jr. is rather difficult to move -- frustrating when the glue is setting. When the clamp is in position, it is quite good at clamping, though, of course, not with Revo pressure -- which is not always needed. Besides, it comes in an 18" version, which the Revo does not. (OK, I'm not willing to cut down a 24" to 18"!)
There is a technique to moving the head on the bar, but I haven't fully mastered it, apparently.
Bottom line, it is a decent clamp, and 18" is a good length of some of my work. I'll stick with it, but with some frustration.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2024Worked very well to clamp the boards together
- Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2024Product had clearly been damaged or used before. Clamp jaws couldnt be unscrewed because the handle wouldn’t even turn. Paint chipped off handle, clamp pads were cracked didn’t come with the stabilizing foot at the end. I have other Bessey Revo Jr clamps that are fantastic, the seller is definitely the problem here

- Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2025I have dozens of Bessey clamps and have never had a bad clamp. Now I have four that are all jammed closed. The clamp can't be opened. They are jammed tight. Also, there were missing parts.
You should buy the clamp at a physical store (and not from here) where you can check the action of the clamp before you buy the clamps. So far Amazon has shipped 4 bad clamps out of 5. So Bessey has a 60% failure rate. Up to you if you want to spend your time going to ups to drop off the return(s).

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2024Adquiri tres prensas "BESSEY KRJR-18 K Body REVO JR", una de las cuales tenía signos de haber sido anteriormente probada y devuelta por otro cliente. Estaba trabada y tuve que desarmarla con esfuerzo para poder abrir sus mandíbulas.
Todas las partes de las tres prensas estaban completas, por suerte.
Los plásticos se ven quebradizos y de muy mala calidad.
Hay que sujetar las prensas con ambas manos al utilizar porque la mandíbula de abajo está muy floja y se cae (de más está decir que el plástico que hace de tope no durará mucho cumpliendo esta función).
Había leído otras opiniones similares antes de comprarlas, pero creí que exageraban.
Las prensas son MADE IN CHINA y se nota en todos los detalles.
He comprado otras de la misma marca y la diferencia es abismal.
En fin, le dejo tres estrellas sólo por el precio. Si estás dudando entre estas y otras chinas genéricas, quédate con la otra. Aquí sólo pagas la marca.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2023Exactly what I was looking. Solid, super strong component not made im China.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2022I like these a lot. They’re certainly not K Bodies, but they’re not far off. If you get them at a good price, do not hesitate.

4.0 out of 5 stars Recomendable
El paquete llego incompleto, desafortunadamente no lo voy a regresar por la urgencia en usar las presnas que son de muy buena calidad y muy recomendables, si el proveedor puede mandarme las dos partes que hacen falta y que se marcan en el circulo amarillo se lo voy a agradecer.
El paquete llego con un día de anticipación.
