Review of Denali 30-Piece Bar Clamp Assortment

This set is an incredible deal, but be sure you can live with a flaw. The casting on the fixed heads, where it comes in contact with whatever you're clamping on to, is slightly rounded and quite lumpy. The thin plastic cap covering it (hiding it?) will do little to help prevent the head from making an indentation on your work. It's especially bad on the 6" and 12" clamps. My very similar Bessey clamps have a perfectly smooth head surface and aren't covered with a plastic cap.

The package is very heavy, clamps are extremely well wrapped/packaged inside, but then shipped in a cheap box. The clamps were all very dirty, like they were made in a filthy factory. Clean them well before use.

Now the good news. I compared these to my Bessey clamps and found that the Denalis are very similar in construction. Thickness and width of the bars is the same as Bessey, size and perceived strength of the heads *looks* as strong as the Besseys (who knows). The movable head screw is heavier than Bessey, and the wooden handles are the same size as Bessey or larger.

The bottom line for me is that it's like a 30 piece set of Besseys at a small fraction of the price, but now I have to figure out what to do with those workpiece-damaging heads.
