Jet Parallel Clamp Review:
I purchased the Jet 40 inch Parallel clamp and took it out of the package and put it right to use. It is a very strong clamp and you can get a lot of leverage with the turn screw handles. They have ridges and are a good size to fit your hand. The clamps can exert a lot of pressure and do not deflect or ride up on your project. The finger release works great once you figure out that you don't have to pull it all the way up; just a little movement releases the clamp. I would recommend these clamps without... more info
Best of its kind:
If you need a parallel jaw clamp you can't go wrong with this one. Its fit and finish are great. The large jaws work well and the oversized handle makes it easy to apply the right amount of pressure. These clamps are only slightly higher priced than others like it, and in my opinion much better. When compared side to side with the Bessy these really shine.
Jet clamps are good:
I purchased two of the 40" clamps just to compare to Bessey. I have about 20 Bessey clamps & felt they were the best on the market. However, the Jet clamps are better - Bessey is going to lose my business. The jaw faces are longer and wider. The handle is bigger and easier to grip and the release lever works great. I plan to buy more.
