*Careful* You get what you pay for in this instance. Watch this video, Bora is probably not what you want. This is a comparison of Jet (marketed under a different name but still jet) and Bora parallel clamps. The positive is they're cheaper but they have a lot of drawbacks.

The reviewer in the video states It requires a lot of clamping force to get them to pull into parallel. Any smaller or thinner material will potentially buckle or break.

I don't care what anyone buys and I'm not a tool snob. I just knew that the video talked me out of getting the Bora. Just more info so others can make the best decision in their situation

A pair of Bessy 40" parallel clamps on Rockler is $100. It's up to the buyer as to what works better for them.

Picked up 2 sets, thank you! I'm new to woodworking so I can't really stomach those Jet/Bessey prices yet.

I saw that video too which is why I'm hesitant on pulling the trigger. I got a 20% Amex offer so 4 clamps come out to $120 before tax but I'm not even sure if I should do it if the clamps are not truly parallel.

That comes out to $30 per clamp. I feel like a good pipe clamp might be a better option at $15+pipe (bessey 3/4" on Amazon). Hard to say but this feels like a buy-once, cry-once situations

Is that the video where a reviewer complains that they aren't parallel unless you tighten them?
If so, big whoop. As long as they're parallel when used, does it really matter if they're not when not in use?

What I learned the hard way after buying other cheaper non-bessey clamps was that you really do get what you pay for in clamps, i.e., the cheaper clamps are really priced appropriately by the market.
