BORA 31" Parallel Clamp, 2-Pack

When these arrived, I noticed the box was rather heavy and that's due to the high quality material coupled with precise machining on the bar, and a superior and superior tension handle that really puts the screws to it (pun intended)Clamping force is extraordinary, while the pads at the end help to protect your work. They have come in very handy and at 48 inches, there's nothing these cant do.They may be pricy but you're buying the best quality clamps on the market, guaranteed to last a lifetimeWell worth the investment just be sure to keep them clean and the tracks sparingly lubricated

Highly recommend for the price. Solid, heavy and well made. If you are looking for these things to make your project parallel, but you can't put too much force on the material... these are NOT for you. To make these parallel clamps, parallel you need to really snug them up hard. Putting a lot of pressure on whatever material you are working with. But they work well. I also had to youtube how they worked, no instructions... It's kinda intuitive, but not really. Whatever... you'll figure it out. But yes, I like them for their use case.

Nice for about anything you want to squeeze or push the life out of.

These parallel clamps are exactly what I needed. Only problem has been that when I'm trying to adjust them to an initial width, they tend to get stuck a lot. I have to giggle the handle several times to get it to move. (Other times they move freely, so not sure why they stick so sometimes.)

They are a must have for any size shop!

They apply pressure more evenly than pipe clamps with less bowing.

I bought these for a glue up I was doing, and the pair both worked great. I went to use them again, and one of them slips, the teeth don't engage correctly.I did contact Bora, and they immediately shipped out a new one, so once I get that, I'll test it out, and update this review if needed. Their customer service is top notch. I had a small issue on a previous item (broken plastic foot), and they immediately shipped out the piece to me. I also have their lumber racks, which have been working great for me too. Overall, I really appreciate the value of their products and their responsive customer service, not all companies care as much about taking care of their customers quickly!I may have just received a lemon, and the rest are good, so we'll see once the new replacement comes in. I'll also see if I can do a teardown of the broken one to see if I can identify the failure point too.update 10/22/20 - I received my replacement in a week. I consider that good customer service. I did try tearing down the broken one, but I couldn't tell if anything was out of spec, and I didn't want to tear down a working one just in case I break it! I don't have any large panel glue ups in the near future, but if the replacement breaks, I'll update this review. I do hope it was just a lemon that I originally had.

Can Never Have Enough Clamps! I'm always looking for more clamps and parallel clamps have a ton of very beneficial uses. I use them for gluing upper and lower cabinet boxes, all the way down to gluing up cutting boards and small wood art.Caught them on Early Prime Sale for $46 off per set and snagged up 5 more sets to add to my collection. That sale was the difference between buying 3 sets vs. 5 sets.Always keep a look-out for sales on clamps. Disclaimer: this is the only brand of parallel clamps I use and that isn't because I've used others and though less of them. I can compare all other major brands of bar clamps, pipe clamps, f-style clamps, and more...but not with parallel clamps.

Appear well made and sturdy. Easy to use, making cedar chest panels , strong clamps

There’s no lock on the movable jaw. Which is no big deal you just have to make sure your clamp is tightly closed when you hang it up or the movable jaw will slide down and bite you. Otherwise these are a great clamp and a better price than some of its competitors
