Parallel clamps are incredibly sturdy and useful. There aren’t any bargains. A good parallel clamp is difficult to make, and I’m only aware of premium lines. I own some Jorgensens, and I’ve looked at Bessey and Gross Stabil. It’s hard to go wrong with any of the brands, but I think Jet clamps are the best. They are easy to adjust, and the head stays put until you squeeze the trigger. Trigger-operated heads are appearing on more brands of clamps, and Jet is the first to put them on a parallel head clamp. I highly recommend them.
The answer of course is no – if you are a woodworker. These jet clamps are exceptional in their design; they are sturdy; accurate in face angle, and they are very easy to use. I purchased three of the 50″ model and will soon be adding other lengths to my collection.
I purchased this set after using the Bessey line for many years. I like the Jet set more. Very good clamps. I like the handle much more. The release lever is also a nice feature.
