MFT Workbench Hold Down and Linear Clamps From Banggood Review [GIFTED]

[@dougsaunders8109]

The working on the edge of a bench I have also struggled to hold down materials for similar tasks as yourself. The post clamps look a really good solution

[@BischBaschBosch]

Yeah, they're perfect for that mate. Being genuinely one handed helps in that regard too I think.👍

[@paulhodgson4790]

Cheers Stu, good review as per. I've also had the WNew ones for a couple of years and, like you, I find the height of the feet just that little too high. It's a bit of an annoyance so I think I might get a pair of the other ones for any 18mm stuff. Those hold down look great for the price as well.

[@BischBaschBosch]

Thanks mate. Yeah, that's my only complaint with the Wnew tbh - the foot height. Big win for the Duratec ones there. The hold downs are great. Haven't stopped using them!👍

[@johnclements6614]

Five years in your commercial workshop seems like a good recommendation for the WNEW clamps. I bought a pair back in the summer and they seem quite good. If I find a need for another pair in the future I will see what the duratec are like.

[@BischBaschBosch]

Yeah, you never really know how these things will hold up. The Wnew have been a pleasant surprise. They look a bit beat up now but work as well as the day I got em. Here's hoping the Duratec last as well👍

I have a pair of wnev linear clamps, and on my "MFT" - the top is from a German seller via amazon, 20mm holes - a pair of those clamps just pushed into the holes, without star knob. Holds a "2 by 4" to hand plane it just fine. With a not - so - sharp Record #4. So it depends on the hole tightness. But now I remember the same holes are too tight for some Chinese 20mm bench dogs. I can push the dogs in, but I need pliers to get out, so those dogs are sitting in some box...

[@BischBaschBosch]

That's strange. My Wnew are really loose. Their dogs measure 19.5mm on mine. I wonder if they've changed the size for a fighter for since I got mine? The new duratec ones are a closer fit (19 8mm) but even so, with their extra force, they'll lift up. Just become habbit using the star knobs now. Either are a great buy I think.👍

[@AkosLukacs42]

@@BischBaschBosch 19.8mm, according to my cheapie calipers. I guess they did listen to feedback. Mine are 2 or 3 years old maybe.

Good review & great prices for both clamps. I’m really happy with the Bessey linear clamps, they don’t lift the workpiece, like I’ve heard the Festool ones do & I’ve never needed to secure them 👍.

[@BischBaschBosch]

Yeah, the Bessey look alright to be honest. Pretty well priced too, especially compared to Festool. I was thinking they'd be my replacement if the Wnew ones went but, they're still working well. And now BG have sent these Duratec, I think I'll be alright for a bit.😁👍

Hold down clamps currently 33 bucks here in the US, down from 60. Still a decent price but i think i'll wait for the 11/11 sale and see what they are at then. Thanks for the video!

[@BischBaschBosch]

Nice one man. Hope you get a good price. The hold downs in particular are a joy to use.👍
