JET 50-Inch Woodworking Parallel Clamp, 1000 Lbs. Clamping Pressure (70450)

I like to buy these 50” Jet parallel clamps on Black Friday to save a few bucks. Only saved about 20% this year. These are great clamps. Perfect size for cabinets. The large jaws help clamp things up nice and square.One problem is sometimes you do not get the end stop. This time one clamp had the end stop and one was missing. The clamps work without the end stops but they ate nice to have.

Very easy to use. Very sturdy. Being able to slide the clamp head into place and tighten with a small amount of effort makes them a joy to work with.

I own two of these in my collection of assorted clamps and brands. One of them tends to slip all the time when trying to tighten the screw, or will not slide when you want it to, for quick adjustment. Very disappointed and I will stick with Bessey, Scott Phillips or Jorgensen.

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.

Good size and very good clamp. Easily recommend this product. I have four and they get the most use of all of my clamps.

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.

After having used bar clamps for many years, these are an excellent replacement! They are more adjustable and spread the clamping pressure more evenly than bar clamps. Highly recommended!!!

Excellent products
