I bought Aldav’s 1250mm clamps. They are brutes - heavy and strong - luv em! Wish i’d bought a selection of sizes when they were available
Just watched a video on Timbercon comparing Bessey and Torquata clamps they sell - wasn’t bad

If people are talking about a group buy, should we be entering sizes and volume?
I'm happy to keep a tracker.

Before you go any further you should seek the admin's approval to do a group buy on here.

Also potentially interested (price depending, of course).
I have very few parallel clamps, and need quite a few more.

I have Bessey Revo in longer lengths. They are solid, heavy, but do everything I want for this size. I looked at the cheaper, other brand version of this style at Carbatec (in orange?) and thought them horrid - too stiff to use. Cry once - get the Besseys.
For short lengths (up to 12"/300mm), I have Chinese copies (?) of the lightweight Bessey UniKlamp (in grey). These are they (in red) ...
David (Aldav) asked me before how they compared with the Uniklamp. I replied that the Chinese versions are better! The grips on the handles are more like the Bessey K Body Revo. The Uniklamp feels flimsy by comparison.
So, Bessey Revo for longer than 300mm and Chinese Uniklamp (on Banggood) for below this.

Not sure if McJing have changed their supplier, but the ones I bought a while back have been great - here's the review I did comparing to my Jet clamps:
