Bessey PC12-2 1/2" Pipe Clamp with 2 1/8" Throat Depth, Red

I love this new clamp. I have several Bessey clamps that were used on a project this week and this clamp supplements my H style Bessey Clamps.

I ordered a pair. One threaded perfectly onto 1/2" pipe. The other would not. The threads are not cut correctly. I returned for a replacement and the replacement is also defective - would not thread onto standard 1/2" pipe (pipe was purchased pre-threaded - I did not cut the pipe threads - further, the first clamp threads on no problem).. It is going back. Sad that Bessey quality has dropped - no control on defects. What good is a 1/2' pipe clamp that will not thread onto 1/2" pipe? UPDATE: Contacted Bessey and they investigated the issues at the factory, fixed the problem and sent me a new replacement set directly.

Every clamp of theirs I’ve ever owned has worked as it was supposed to and held firm.

Pros: -The cast aluminum that these are made out of is great -The fitment to the pipe was spot in I have had other brands that would not screw on and some that would be hard to slide. Con: -I wish the rubber pads would attach better they fall off pretty easy. However I fixed this with a little glue. Overall these are a great product I dropped one star for the pads but I wouldn’t go with any other brand. I know I can fix that.
