I had a chance to compare these to some Irwin parallel clamps that I already had in my collection. These are pretty much identical other than the color and the handle. I like the ones that I already have with very few exceptions. The biggest complaint would be that if you tighten the clamp down far enough it will leave little knicks in the bar. I have not had any issues with this causing my panels to be not flat or leaving scratches on my project, but I guess it is possible. If any of those knicks were big enough, I would just knock it down with a file and it would be gone in about two strokes. I do really like these clamps, and for they price I think they are some of the better that you can get. Now there are other “high end” products that do the same thing but maybe have some more features, but the clamping force you can put behind these and the cost make them a clear choice for me. I can buy two of these for the price of one of the high end brands. Dewalt is known for making some quality products, and I think these stay true to the name. I will likely pick up some of the 48″ as well when they are in stock at my local store.

Good clamps. Seem to work ok. I don’t know about long term yet. That will affect the # of stars.

Pleased with them so far. They are just as good as Bessey clamps and cost a few dollars less.

Nice clamps reasonably priced. Great gripping power and these dont have the serrated bars which makes them much easier to use.

Good functionality and clamping pressure but the locking mechanism can be a little difficult for one handed operating for everyone. I’d buy more.

These are great well built parallel bar clamps with a rubber handle allowing ease on tightening. Would recommend these clamp for the quality and performance. Would buy again if needed more.

This is an excellent 24 inch parallel bar clamp that is a pleasure to use. The clamp has a 3 3/4 throat and has rocking action to adjust the length and then push forward to hold the piece and then twist to apply pressure. This is when this clamp really shines because of the parallel heads it applies up to 1500 pounds of pressure equally to the full throat of the clamp. No raising or bowing of your pieces as you apply pressure, the work pieces stay perfectly flat. This is a great quality of a parallel bar clamp. It does make the heads a little heavier and bulky but the end results are worth the extra weight. This is an excellent clamp.

I am supplementing a size I don’t have yet with my Bessey clamps so that is natuarally my my comparison after owning the Bessey’s for a few years now. After some use I have to say the DeWalt version is pretty good. I actually like the shaft even better than the Bessey if I’m honest. No little ridges means less glue drips will stick and head movements along the rail is super smooth. When tightening the cam also seems to lock a easier which is my biggest complaint with a Bessey. The only knock is the Dewalt clamp has no hard rubber clamping surface that is also removable. Rather it’s a hard plastic which will dent/mushroom if it gets dinged (say it falls of your bench) Other than sanding it smooth again you can’t really replace it if it becomes damaged. They say you can never have too many clamps and I would be happy to keep filling out my collection with a few more of these.

This DeWalt 24 in. Parallel Bar Clamp exceeds the previous parallel clamps I’ve used for the past 20 years in strength, versatility and value. I find they are also easier to adjust, have a wider range of clamping clearances, clamp surfaces are more durable and offer a larger application of force area.The quick release bar tabs allow for easy clamp assembly reversals to give an equal and evenly distributed separation or outward clamping force. In all, I find it to be a well designed and powerfully implemented joinery tool for the woodworker!
