Guest Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 This thread has turned surprisingly funny. FWIW I am not a huge fan of parallel clamps either. I spent a lot of money on Jet clamps and don't like them much. I have mentioned that in a few different threads. For solid wood furniture, I just don't find them to be ideal. But to each his own.

Doors. I hate pipes for entry doors. Rarely build/repair more than one at a time so I have two super longs a few other lengths. I have pipes, but they are not ideal for much.

I made entry doors in the early eighties.I also made 7' oak interior doors for the Kansas city library while in commercial. I used pipes and I-beams on one or both. It's just a difference of opinion.

wtnhighlander Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 I have exactly two parallel clamps. I only have two because one is even WORSE than useless. Yes, they are the 'cheap' blue ones from Lowes. They weigh a ton, and are not particularly easy to operate. They seem to do the job, but the only thing they do better than any pipe clamp or F clamp I own is to sit on the bench with the jaws up and ready to accept a part. And the 'cheap' I mentioned above has nothing to do with inexpensive. Based only on my experience, I can't justify another pair of parallels.

BillyJack Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 This might be a good deal on the uniklamp for those looking,https://www.amazon.com/Bessey-UK3-012-12-Inch-UniKlamp/dp/B00006FRJM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480172701&sr=8-1&keywords=uniklamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon is good for random good pricing on various sizes and kits of UniKlamps but, the 12" are pretty consistent. I have a dozen of the 12" which is just about right for me. I came across a deal for something stupid like $12 each for the 24". 24" is too long for the lightweight bar but, that didn't stop me from grabbing a bunch and cutting them down to 6" and 8".

BillyJack Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 I would pick them up for torsion tables we build at work but I'm purposely buying clamps that don't require a twisting motion for locking. $17.99 free shipping is reasonable for a name brand clamp these days, I bought a bunch of Kreg automaxx sliding bar clamps but really looking for a "deal of the day" on the Kreg 6" automaxx.

Stores don't carry anymore and I started hitting Amazon. I bought all the 12" I could. On;y seeing 4" on Amazon now.... I just put two and two together with Pony clamps shutting its doors and that they owned Jorg so that's why the clamps aren't around anymore.
