Jorgensen Cabinet Master Bar Clamps

[born2saw]

Jorgensen Cabinet Master Bar Clamps are on sale at my local Menards (Carmel, Indiana) until Superbowl Sunday. $34.99 for 48", $29.99 for 36" and $24.99 for the 24". These are a little less expensive than the Bessey k-body and from what I understand for the hobbyist probably as good? I looked at Bessys when I was eat the Woodworkers show a few weeks ago and the Bessey 50" were about $50 at Peachtree. Any thoughts? I was thinking about picking up a few.

BTW, I got a Woodcraft email with a 'Sale' price 4 piece set of Jorgensen Cabinet Master clamps (2-36" and 2-24") for $129.99 reg. price $169.99 ($110 at Menards).

I'll have to check that out. Never saw these at my HD.

I'd say they are even stouter than Bessey K-bodies, I own both brands. Good clamps.

P.S. the proper name for these is probably "Parallel jaw clamps" or just "parallel clamps."
