These clamps are rock solid, and heavy. They seem drop proof so far, as the red seems a mix of plastic and rubber. Clamping pressure is easy on the hands as they designed a wide diam. size hex grip, much easier to twist then classic round grips. The dog system and framing blocks are very well made. They are the ultimate “one size fits all” clamping system. The dogs go into the the bottom of the clamps, as well as a movable dog insert on the back of the clamp, to allow perfect positioning on any dog hole pattern. Very well thought out, high build quality…I plan to buy lots more…
update 9/13/06
AFter using these clamps for some time a few more thoughts. I have recently been testing the clamping pressure of all my make clamps, and by far, the jet clamps are the best of all the parallel clamps I own… I have most of them. The big handle with hex grip allows sufficient and fast clamping pressure vs. most other parallel clamps with thin, round, grips.
Update: Further testing with a pressure gauge has indicated many of my Jets are under performing in the pressure category. Wood Magazone did a very good article in the ~Aug 07 issue…if you are in the market for lots of parallel clamps, i suggest reading the test results in this article. The Stanley’s actually out performed all the clamps. More pressure = less clamps needed on a glue-up.
The only downside to these Jets are… they have not discounted the price
and they are quite heavy vs. any of the other clamps. So if you don’t need a lot of clamping pressure, the other less expensive clamps are easier to use if you constantly moving the clamps around the shop… yep, they are that heavy 
If your pretty strong, it probably wouldn’t bother ya much. But with that extra weight, you get the biggest jaws made and the easiest clamps to apply pressure, which often allows you to use less clamps….

I received this set of clamps several days ago and have been extremely happy with it! I have several Bessey K-body clamps that I use in my shop but I think these Jet clamps are better!
Basic design is very similar to the Bessey K-body, with parallel jaws and providing 1,000 lbs of clamping power. But the Jet clamps have bettered what Bessey have made.
Plus points of Jet clamps:
Deeper throat depth, 4-1/4″ compared to 3-3/8″
Wider jaws, 1-13/16″ compared to 1-7/16″
Longer clamp head 6-15/16″ compared to 5-1/8″
Adjustable rail stop that slides up and down bar
Length marking along the length of the clamp
The deeper throat and wider jaws allows for more spread out clamping pressure on the parts being clamped. Wider jaws also stabilizes the clamp laterally even more. Also, the sliding rail stop has a slightly wider footprint than the Bessey, giving a very stable clamp. This feature comes in great when you have many clamps that you need to align on a long clamp.
One feature that I also love is the slide guide trigger. It locks the jaw in place which I find very useful because I often forget to tighten the Bessey jaw before hanging it back on the rack. When I take the bessey clamp off the rack, the jaw has slid down the bar and hammered my fingers many times! The Jet holds the jaw in place. One down side is that I have to pull the trigger to adjust the jaw open or close. This may be a little troublesome when you are clamping and want to close the jaw onto the wood. You have ti pull the trigger to close the jaw. It doesn’t slide close on it’s own like the bessey.
I don’t know which is better, but the jet also has a solid composite grip made of composite material with half of it rubberized. It grips extremely well, even when your hands are messy with glue. Glue cleans up easily.
Overall, I love this clamp! Although these clamps are made in China, Don’t be fooled because they are very very well made! Solid clamps that will last a lifetime! I think I will have to price my work higher to buy more of these clamps!

These clamps are the best, even better then Bessey. I have over 50 of the different Jet parallel clamps and use them side by side with the Bessey every day. After they are tight the Bessey are really difficult to loosen, these jet with the big handle are so much easier on the hands! These DO get discounted! I have purchased them for 1/2 price at a different site many times and just purchase 16 of the 50″ clamps for 23.00 each! The combo set I purchased for 89.00! Even here on Amazon I purchased the 98″ for 44.00 so keep your eyes open Amazon changes the prices everyday! Check the other woodworking stores, amazon better start offering the same deals or they will lose a ton of sales. Jet clamps rock, but Bessey has a new clamp in the works and I am sure it will rival these or even be better. 129.00 including shipping and NO tax is a great price Amazon I will take more!

Excellent set, seems like Jet has taken the best from the Bessey
and Jorgensen clamps and made a clamp that is the best that I have laid my hands on. You can feel the quality…

I was not sure at first as I am a Bessey man through and through…. but these are every bit as good but less money! I have used them everyday for a couple of months now and not one single complaint. Clamping pressure is square and even, quality of the clamp excellent….. a great item
