Stanley 083100 Band-Clamp 4.5m/15ft

I have tried a local DIY shop's own brand bandclamps in the past which were truly terrible and therefore until a few weeks ago I have avoided them for years assuming that all bandclamps would roughly be the same until a project were I had no other choice but to use bandclamps so I ordered this Stanley Bailey model and prepared myself for disappointment..... I am delighted to report I am far from disappointed this bandclamp is excellent and a dream to use especially compared to the awful own brand ones I tried years ago. These bandclamps are clearly well designed, feel very well made and are strong and robust so should hopefully stand up to the abuse they will receive in my workshop. They are so easy to use by just extending the fabric and roughly placing each plastic corner piece to the corners of your project and then pull the fabric taught and lock the clamp and then screw the handle to apply a strong and even clamping force around the workpiece / item. I now own two of these and I am sure at some point in the future I will buy more as needs arise. Given I paid just under a tenner for each of these I believe they are very good value for money and overall very pleased. Highly recommended.

I use this for holding and gluing picture frames before underpinning, as the underpinner does not pull the mitred corners absolutely close together enough for a professional finish. I looked at individual corner clamps, but they were ridiculously expensive and judging by the reviews often did not give a true 90°. This band clamp is absolute light years ahead of the type I used to use many years ago. I was not expecting much given the reasonable price, but I can't speak highly enough of it. Very sturdy, with nice wide and long straps and substantial corner guides. It WILL bring glued mitred corners together perfectly - with a little care - and there is a strong easy to grip handle which one turns after manually pulling the straps tight, which further tightens the straps and makes the joint as close as it can possibly get. Once the glue is set, then it's over to the underpinner to insert the v nails. Given that I expected to be able to use the underpinner to pull the corners close, which it did not, or at least not close enough to be perfect, (and the underpinner cost approximately 8 times that of the strap clamp), if you were confident of being able to put the v nails in with a hammer, you could just use the clamp and not bother with the underpinner. Either way, it is a slow process. I second the reviewer who recommended Gorilla Wood Glue. Another fantastic product.

It clamps ok. With smaller frames it might slip quite a bit. Plastic is good and bad as it should mar less but overall feels cheap and plasticky. Quite a lot of money for some plastic but it does the job.

I bought lots of these to help with a job I had come in, I was very happy with the results. I've always used traditional clamps and ratchet straps in place of these, but I wish I'd got some of these sooner. They really are a godsend, and work an absolute treat! They're strong, and put down more than enough clamping force to hold a corner piece together while the glue joint goes off. I'll be buying a few more soon, but honestly can't recommend these enough. Especially at the £12 a piece I paid for them. Bargain!

A pile of broken chairs, picture frames and drawers had accumulated in my house, a by-product of my feral children. After some determined spousal prompting I finally got to work repairing these. The strap clamp proved invaluable and speeded up the job. Whether using glue, screws or dowls etc the band clamp was very useful in holding it all together. I found it well made and the amount of tension l could tighten/torque the strap up to was more than enough for any repairs. This is a very useful piece of equipment, particularly if you are repairing something on your own. I have owned this for over 3 years and it gets used from time to time, it still works perfectly and shows no signs of any wear or play. As it’s very useful I recommend it.

I tried another band clamp also offered through Amazon, but upon applying pressure, one of the plastic guides snapped. The Stanley on the other hand showed no signs of stress as I applied pressure. I need to mention that I was clamping a box newel post, and not a light weight picture frame. I saw that these are very similar to the Dewalt band clamp (no longer available) and learned that Stanley owns Dewalt and the spec's matched. I was not disappointed....the only downside is that these are shipped from the UK, and take around 2 weeks...worth the wait!

Un article très utile pour la fabrication de cadres, boîtes, etc.... La mise en place peux s'avérer quelque fois un peu fastidieuse pour une personne seule (suivant la configuration de votre objet si vous voulez ajuster et tenir les 4 angles en même temps cela ne va pas être simple) mais la solidité et la qualité de serrage ne sont pas en défaut. La taille admissible est relativement importante et la sangle peut être remplacée par une plus longue si la taille n'est pas suffisante. Attention toutefois à la répartition des forces lors du serrage, la sangle coulissant de moins en moins dans les Cornière au fur et à mesure du serrage, il est bon de vérifier la répartition des tensions et donc de l'equerrage.

Complete rubbish and wished I didn’t buy them. They broke with the first use on a small cabinet. Also: when the strap comes loose, you’re screwed and busy for an hour to try to get it back in. 0/10 recommend

If you search for Band clamps on Amazon India you'll see many company selling for 3000+ INR ,I bet any company on amazon India to put stanley band clamp to test you will be amazed to find out Stanley Band clamp is Best Feasible and sturdy Most of all its a must have product for any woodworker

Quando non si hanno morsetti molto lunghi e non si vuole spendere un capitale questo morsetto viene in aiuto. La qualità costruttiva è molto buona e permette un serraggio molto molto forte dei pezzi. La corda molto lunga permette di arrivare fino a 3 metri. Capita spesso che la corda venga fuori dagli alloggi per gli angoli ma non è un grosso problema. Il punto di forza resta la grande capacità di serraggio.
