Looking at couple of corner clamps. I seldom work with anything over 2" square tube so I'm leaning toward the Bessey or Wilton below. Jaw height on both is 1-3/8" - is that adequate for 2" tube? Any reason to chose one brand over the other? The Bessey is made in Germany if you believe the picture.

Single screw as shown restricts you same size in both legs.

I was thinking the same thing but it appears the clamp nut is pinned so it can swivel and allow the jaw to accommodate a little difference in the width of the legs.

I bought the Bessey one from Amazon a couple of years ago, and it was made in Germany.

You can have different size tubes for both legs; the clamp automatically adjusts for it.
Works pretty good for me.
