    Made an address thingy with scrap wood I was about to throw out. Thought I’d try to use it first.
    Covered a couple of numbers so y’all can’t stalk me :spy:

    Do any of you guys have these clamps from Harbor Freight? They seem to get great reviews. I need to add some parallel clamps to my woodworking tool list. Thanks if you can offer any insights?

    I have two of those HF clamps and two Bessy, not Revo, parallel clamps. The Harbor Freight ones work great and are cheaper. This hobby is expensive enough already. I am planning on getting a few more soon.

    You can see both in this pic.

    While I've picked up numerous clamps over the years, every time I go to glue something up, I feel I need ever more clamps...
    These newer style ones make my collection feel obsolete, even though they've worked perfectly for 30 years.

    I’ve got a whole wall of clamps of various sizes and applications and I’m still in the same boat. There’s always room for at least another couple :rofl:

    A wood worker never has enough clamps.
    This is my clamp area and I still feel that I don't have enough.

    OK, that’s the junior model. I had two of those and didn’t really care for them. The one from harbor freight is made like the expensive Bessey’s.
