I don’t currently own any parallel bar clamps. I plan on starting to purchase some soon. I was planning on purchasing Jet clamps. I see that Woodline has come out with their own line of parralel bar clamps. Anyone have any experience with the Woodline or Jet parallel bar clamps? I’d be interested in any reviews. Thanks in advance.

The Wood Whisperer has a video on clamps that is helpful.

Just avoid the Chinese versions…They don’t last. I’ve had good luck with Craftsman though.

In latest tests on Bessey vs Gros Stabil vs Jet, the Jet’s come out on top. If I was replacing clamps, I’d go with the Jet’s. They are improvements to the classic K-body.

I have both Bessey and Jorguensen. Like Jorgs much better. Heftier and give a better clamp pressure.
