I've been using Bessey Parallel clamps whenever I use my Bowclamps and am thinking I'd like to buy a few lighter weight clamps, possibly some Bessey F-Style.  The Bessey Parallels work okay but are rather clumsy and heavy to use for that purpose and the Bowclamps have a recess routed to hold the jaws of other type clamps.  What do those of you that have Bowclamps tend to use?
 
Like you, I have been primarily using the K-bodies. I have used Bessey F style and they work fine but I just don't like having them attached when moving the Bowclamp around.

Pipe clamps have worked the best for me because I don't have the hand strength needed to use the parallel or F-style clamps. The BowClamps take a bit of cranking, although I do like them.
