Bessey rack

Nice rack And I would agree with one of the reviews about the wasted back space. I took a 5/16" drill bit and drilled holes throught the back bars and slid in 5/16" steel rod which doubled the use and didn't effect the rolling action.

Good Enough For Ten Bucks

I received my rack in conjunction with purchasing the Bessey 30 clamp set. The deal was advertised that you get the rack for free. But the 30 clamp set doesn't qualify for free shipping, so I had to pay shipping for the rack, just under $10.^M

The rack was shipped from Phoenix to my Bay Area home via FedEx ground. When the box arrived, the box was in two pieces, and the FedEx person told my wife that all the parts were there. But there were only three pieces: the front, the back, and a bag of hardware. I knew that I was missing at least the bottom and the instructions. So I went through the forms on the Amazon web site and requested the missing parts. They sent a whole new one, and it turns out that there were no more parts than what I knew were missing. Now for the really strange part --- when FedEx delivered the second package, the driver left the missing bottom pieces on top of the second box. So when I returned the first box, I was able to include a complete set of parts, including the assembly instructions, which I had finished reading.^M

Now for more weird stuff --- the rack was black, not orange as in the picture. And the back was as high as the front, not shorter as in the picture. And the wheels were mounted further from the corner than were they in the picture. And there was no card on top, which I wasn't really expecting. So most of the changes had neutral value, except for the longer back (better) and the narrower wheel base (worse).^M

After putting the clamps on the rack, I've discovered that it is difficult to hang clamps from the very top, unless you swing the clamp body toward the rear of the rack along its side. This allows the handle to be inserted in the narrow top opening between the frame and the top rack bar. This also means that only those clamps on either edge of the top opening are accessible. The shortest 6 inch clamps also can have problems --- their body is so short that they become top heavy and don't hang like their longer brethren. You can see this in the picture if you look closely.^M

The assembly was straight forward, although I did substitute my own 3/8 inch bolt for their 1/4 inch bolt in the bottom "X" because the center holes were the same size as the end holes, the end holes being sized for the 3/8 inch wheel studs.^M

All in all, it was worth the ten bucks. And with the full back frame, I'm entertaining the idea of adding cross bars to the back frame giving me even more rack space.^M

Note to Amazon: use better plastic straps that don't break when you try lift the box via the straps. This was the likely root cause of the initial shipment failure.

very nice rack

what a deal to get free with the clamps. very sturdy rack...I intend to mount on the wall.
