I have an 8in Bessey coming soon. Wonder if its China, description says Germany too. Was a AWD for $5.75
My wall of clamps is growing. This will be my first Bessey other than the Bessey pipe clamps.
But I have been happy with the Irwin and Pony/Jorgeson claps so far. Stopped buying the Horrible Freight ones, they Suk in comparison. Especially when I have been getting deals on better brands for same or less money.

I don't know about their other clamps but I broke a HF 4" C-clamp just tightening by hand while standing in front of the bin. And it didn't take a lot of force applied. It broke in the middle of the "C" section and the exposed metal looked like porous slag. I tossed it back in the bin to possibly alert someone else who might be considering them. "Heavy Duty or Industrial" or whatever they call it, I'd hate to see their light duty stuff.

HaHa Wrong thread... Bruce made me do it, followed his Like to quickly get to the thread, not paying attention

I'll leave it.
Also duplicated the posts in the REAL AWD thread.

Thanks! I am going for the brush heads. I’ll post details as to what arrives—perfect except packaging, only 1 of the 6, etc,

Thanks for the posts OP!
Fortunately I bought the Teq Correct Professional impacts ($20 each set) at Advanced Auto Parts, they are very nice for a brand I’d not heard of before. I even found the Teq Professional 24” long, 1/2” drive Breaker bar ($5). The deals were so good I went back & bought more to add to my stock pile of tools for future son in laws…. 4 daughters will do that! 😜

I was going to buy the steak knives but I was too late. Just as well, they were German steel made in China!!!

8in used Bessey arrived today. Says Germany on the handle
This the first Bessey in the clamp hoard and in all honestly might be the only Bessey bar clamp of this type. I know its a light duty version.... Irwin and Jorgensen are better IMO.

You're lucky! Every Bessey clamp that I have ever bought like that has been made in China.

Alright Nick

Started to post this to the AWD thread. Caught myself at the last minute!

Motorcraft FL-820-S Oil Filter​


Fits a lot of vehicles, including my F150 and Excursion. $3.97 is a great price, time to stock up if you are OCD on PM like me. My Excursion 5.4 just hit 275,000 using these filters.

I'm in for the ten dollar security bits. They look alright. Made in Taiwan. I'm not sure they'll get used but I have them now if needed.
