you can never have too many clamps and it's not like competitors offerings are much cheaper. But. Yes they are heavy but that's a desirable trait. The heads of these clamps are huge, which makes them extremely useful. I was hesitant to pay a lot of money for clamps. Ultimately these are worth the money. WAX THEM BEFORE GLUING ON THEM. Clamping up a project correctly is far more satisfying and the results are outstanding (parallel pressure is awesome).
Got these for making cabinet doors. Really help pull all joints together for gluing and keep everything at 90 degrees. They work great.
They seem to be binding up all the time. These are solid clamps. Nice large handles makes it easy to tighten up.However, while they are solid, these are heavy clamps. Frustrating to say the least.I would not buy again. Keep that in mind if you are planning to use them off the bench.The biggest problem I have had with them is sliding the head up or down the bar.
Great clamps for the price. Plus the kit is very convienent. You could get other brands, but these will do a great job for much less money.
They are so much easier to use and the clamping pressure is excellent. After owning the Bessey clamps and using them for years, I was under the impression that they where the King of clamps. However, the Jet Clamps have put them to shame. I would highly recommend them. When ever I go for glue up now, I reach for the Jet clamps.
