New Parallel Jaw Clamps from Rutlands

[woodworkingMK]

Has anyone tried them? https://www.rutlands.co.uk/sp+hand-tool ... elivery=y#

I want to buy some, I saw them in live and they really seem robust. I am wondering how they perform in real job.

Stuff that looks good at Rutlands is usually sold out. Some suspect click bait.

It is possible. The fact that they allow only positive feedback speaks a lot. But I saw the clamps in a store (not in UK) and they seemed good and robust, I was interested to see if anyone has used them.

I’ve got a set of the longer ones. Not as good as besseys but a quarter of the price. Worth the money IMHO.

 

[woodworkingMK]

Which are the longer ones? The ones I gave link are 800mm. What is the bad about them compared to bessey?

These are the longer ones:

I wouldn’t say they are bad, just not as good as the besseys. Not quite as heavily built and for whatever reason not able to apply quite as much pressure. Still good though IMO and worth the money.

Sorry, the green ones are totally different than the ones I gave link to. The green ones are quite often commented on this forum.

The new red ones are recent enlisting in their shop.

Ah yes. Sorry I have no experience of the new red ones.
