Taylor Toolworks 90 Degree Parallel Bar Clamps (pair) - $97.99 + S/H

$97.99
+4 Deal Score
1,911 Views
These are fantastic parallel clamps. I own several in varying sizes. And they are comparable to Bessey although I like the soft screw handle of the Bessey a bit more. If you are a woodworker you know you can never have enough clamps. at 60" these can handle large panel glue ups.

Regular price: $139.99
Sale Price: $97.99

This sale price only applies to the 60" version

Sale expires 8/26/22 (I see them sell out of stock often and since these don't go on sale often I would anticipate it here)

*shrug* As noted I've purchased several and they get a lot of use (currently have 8 of them laminating a stack of hickory in the shop). I have no complaints other than they used to be cheaper than the Bessey version hence why I invested in them in the first place. They are no longer cheaper and I would now purchase a Bessey instead if these weren't on sale. At under $100 for two I see this as a no brainer. I like them better than the Bora which I have not had good experience with.

They are a great company, everyone I've talked to there is pretty nice.

But their customer service staff is pretty small, they tend to get overwhelmed at busy times and don't reply to emails. It can be frustrating at times

Anyone know where these clamps or the "German Style" [taytools.com] clamps are made? Either would be a screaming deal if they were actually made in Germany.
I've been extremely happy with the German-made Bessey clamps in my collection.

Harbor Freight [harborfreight.com] recently got into the parallel clamp game, but there isn't much info yet on whether they are any good.

Rockler [rockler.com] is also running a sale on some Irwin 24" parallel jaw clamps for $31 each.

The taytools clamps are made in Taiwan.

While I have not actually purchased the new Bremen clamp from Harbor Freight I have inspected them in store and there is a particular part of the design that concerns me in the pin holding the clamp head together in the top of the bar. If you look at the majority of these parallel clamps from different manufacturers you will notice two screws that go through the head pinning the bar to the clamp head. The Bremen seems to place a single screw behind the bar. Its odd and doesn't instill much trust in the design.
No experience to speak of with the Irwin clamps either. Ive owned these, the bessey k-bodys, the Jet, and the Bora. I sold my Bora as I really didn't like how the jaws needed to be pulled into parallel with clamping pressure.

I've had back and forths with him before, particularly on his takes on Jessem products. I just don't understand the need to impose non constructive opinions into the comments for the sake of....?

This is my first time posting a deal here, I felt compelled to because I already own these clamps, can speak to their quality, don't see them go on sale often, and picked up 4 more because this is a great deal.
