No complaints but never used the Jorgie's.. I really dislike pipe clamps but they work ..

I think you will need a variety of clamps
But
If I could only pick one kind it it would be a Wetzler quick action clamp no.7
That and my Long Island Clamps are the first ones I grab
these can do more than any other clamp

It's tough to spend money on clamps when you're starting out, so you usually make the mistake of not buying what you really need.
This causes you to replace them later.
I have a lot of Bessey K body clamps, and they are far superior to pipe clamps, well worth buying a couple here and there until you have a good collection.
They are great for panel glue up, drawers, carcasses etc.
Some F types also for different applications.
Do yourself a favour, buy some good Bessey K body equivalents, you won't regret it...................Regards, Rod.
Personally for me I prefer the pipe clamps and the F clamps. About a year ago I was all set to buy some of the bessy k bodies until I ended up actually using them and never like how they worked.
