Bessey stål fjærklemmer

Bought these to hold a cabinet face frame while the glue dried and they bit down hard without denting the wood. The steel jaws feel sturdy enough to survive being tossed in a toolbox. Handy little clamps for the price.

The spring tension on these is no joke, they clamped down on 3/4 inch plywood and didn't budge. The all-steel build feels like it'll outlast the cheap plastic ones I've broken before.

These held a cabinet glue-up rock solid without slipping, and the steel springs feel way beefier than the cheap plastic clamps I used to fight with. The grip is strong enough that I only needed a couple where I'd normally grab four.
