FS-EZ 150/2 Made by Bessey?

[onocoffee]

During the Shaper Origin Tour, I got to see the Shaper clamps that are just like the FS-EZ 150 clamps. Then today, I was a dealer that had the Shaper clamps for $46 and the FS-EZ for $48.76, but the Shaper box had Made by Bessey on it. Am I correct in understanding that all of these are just the Bessey EZR One-Handed Table Clamps that are available for $33?

I'm sure Bessey also manufactures the rail clamps for Mafell...Mafell charges $137 per pair.

I bought the Besseys, I’m pretty sure on sale from Home Depot for 2/ $33 and change . The website shows them out of stock

Like rst, I bought the Bessey clamps at HD when on sale and its been a while. When I was looking at them vs. the Festool branded ones, I could swear the Festool ones came with something extra, like an adapter.

The decals must be pretty expensive to make.

I got mine via Amazon for $33. Showing next day delivery. I really like them, now have four sets. I use them on rails and shaper workstation, and as small clamps.

Contrary to the meme, I've got more than enough clamps. Nevertheless, I'm a sucker for any Festool under $100. They're just okay.

The rail clamp I'm really looking for is a forward-facing quick grip that works with the FS-WA.

Festool 203809 .. €145
Wessel Werk TK286 .. €40

Edit: I knew the Festool was already discontinued but seems the Wessel Werk one also got disappeared.

Exactly the same thing except one has green details and the other one blue details.
