Well designed tool.:
I bought two of these clamps (30") and found them so useful that I bought two more (24 and 40") even though I'm just an amateur basement woodworker. The design is well thought out. The jaws are 1.5" thick so they work well with 2x4's. The jaws are also easy to move, easy to grip, and are powerful and parallel. Their construction is solid and spilled glue doesn't stick to it. The squared edges make it easy to set on a surface. I'm even using them just to hold objects that I'm working on. It may be hard to... more info
Well thought out:
The clamps work well - as expected. Got them at Amazon for $29.95 and free freight but Amazon's price seems to be a lot higher now. Try going to Amazon through a shopping site and maybe you can get them for $29.95. I'm not sure, but it seems to me prices vary depending on how you get here. I bought eight clamps and Amazon shipped them by UPS one at a time! Eight separate packages that arrived over three days. What a waste!
Jet Bar Clamps:
I now have 8 Jet Bar Clamps. I have used Bessey clamps and pipe clamps, but I find the Jets to be the best. The positive stop actions, the smooth clamping screws, and the graduated bars are all improvements over other clamps I've used.
I just finished making an entertainment center, all of solid wood, and the clamps were invaluable for gluing up panels and clamping panels together.
The best, and I've tried nearly all of them.:
I've worked with Bessey and Jorgensen parallel clamps, and I've looked closely at the Gross Stabil clamps. For me, the Jet parallel clamps eclipse everything else. They're all solid clamps, and they'll all do the job for which they're intended, but the Jet clamps have some nice advantages. The chief advantage is the head lock. To release or lock the heads on the other clamps, you pivot the handle. Sometimes, when you're working with a tough glue-up and gravity is against you, it can be awkward to pivot... more info
