Deep Throats and Quick-Lock Jaws for Ease of Use
Each JET 70424-2 is a well-constructed 24-inch parallel clamp with a deeper-than-standard throat and wide jaw, so it will be indispensable to your workshop. For convenience, the clamps' Slide-Glide triggers easily lock the jaws into place, allowing for smooth movement.Clever Rail Design Makes Tough Jobs Easy
Each 70424-2 rail features an innovative Precision-Rule Measurement System that provides you with consistent setups and exact readings on your openings--a feature other clamps fail to provide. What's more, the moveable rail stands add convenience and accuracy to both clamping and spreading jobs. Ergonomic Design Works for You
The 24-inch parallel clamps feature ergonomic construction that's designed to work for you--not the other way around. Soft SumoGrip handles make the clamps easy to hold, and they also give you increased torque. The clamps do not take much strength to manipulate, yet can clamp up to 1,000 pounds of pressure. For further convenience, each Acme-threaded handle easily turns while applying continuous pressure. Built for Durability and Versatility
These clamps are built to see you through all of your projects. Featuring a durable aluminum design, superior I-beam construction, and a fully-plated rigid backbone to prevent corrosion, each clamp is built for long-lasting use. Additionally, a non-marring composite resin covers each clamp's jaw face to prevent wear and tear and ensure even clamping pressure. Very versatile, each 70424-2 is designed with a workable profile that allows you to narrowly clamp on the side of the jaw face. For further flexibility, the clamps' moveable, reversible jaws can be dual-purposed as spreaders. What's in the Box

Wow, makes bessey look like a harbor freight special November 13, 2008

I am throughly impressed with these clamps. Having owned Bessey, Jorgeys, Woodcraft generic (Green ones), and now these. The Jet clamps outperform in almost every aspect. I learned of these from The Wood Whisperer (Podcast) and had to give them a try. Here are the differences that I noticed
The Jet clamps have a trigger for fast adjustment and hold vertically without falling like my besseys after a few years of use. (Another reviewer posted that also) Nothing more frustrating than holding your face frame in one hand and having the clamp close/open in the other.
I never thought that I would use the measurement on the side, but now I use it all of the time. I measure my project and place blue tape an 1/8" less than the width to keep the glue off the clamps. It is also nice to have all of your clamps opened to the same size when clamping a large face frame or project
The size of the parallel surfaces dwarf all other clamps I own.
The bar never bends like the rest of my clamps when clamping 8/4 stock.
The handle is far superior to the bessey wooden handle. You can actually grip this one. Once you know it is tight, if feels like you could go 3 or 4 turns more. Almost enough to break the wood.
Some other Jet features:
Benchdogs. Another feature I thought I would never use, but when clamping up panel doors, it is nice to have your clamps secure and square already. Really, it saves me 2-3 minutes each door.
Spreader. Eh, I've used it a few times on large cabinets that are out of square. The clamps are easy to switch around.
Final thoughts. If you are going to invest in clamps, invest in the Jet Parallel Clamps. You won't be sorry!
Jet Clamps the best June 22, 2008

I have just about every brand of clamp at my business [...] and I use Jet clamps from 24" to 60" exclusively now every day, all day long, working with 1/64" accuracy.
With out a doubt we find the Jet clamp superior in every way and have been using them for 3 years. The height off the table is perfect, ditto the stiffness, backing the jaw off slack or under tension is perfect, setting the jaw is faster by a significant margin than any other clamp and boy does it clamp!
Once in a while a product comes along that really works well and this is one of that class. I highly recommend Jet clamps and had they been my first clamps it would have saved me a lot of money and time. I have bought other Jet products based on these clamps performance and to be honest not all of them are not as great as their clamps.
Respectfully, Tom Boyce
Well built, nice design June 15, 2008

I own a number of these types of clamp, this is one of the better built. The really nice feature of this clamp is that you don't have to worry about the adjustable end sliding down unexpectedly. The slide trigger makes for easy adjustment seems to hold up well.
