The 8 Best flat Clamps (2023 reviews)

Bessey flat clamp is the epitome of what a great clamp should be. It is great in a festool table or other tables with 3/4" holes. It works well with the 15 series 80/20 aluminum. It is compatible with saw guides by festool, protool, metabo, makita & dewalt. There is a metal burr at the end of the rod that stops the ratchet from coming off. It is about two inches longer than the festool camps for the table, easier to use and more vertical space for thicker items.

The high stress areas are metal.
