DEWALT 24 in. 1500 lb. Parallel Bar Clamp w/3.75 in. Throat Depth

Just like Bessey’s. But much cheaped.

Work great, way smoother than bessey and still strong.

This 24″ parallel bar clamp by DeWalt is a great clamp to have in any workshop. It is a very heavy duty, well made product. It has smooth jaws so it will not mark up your project yet it can produce up to 1500 pounds of clamping force. It has a nice 3 3/4″ throat which makes it a go-to clamp for a lot of my woodworking projects. DeWalt lists this as a 24″ clamp, however, it will open to a max of 25″. The bar does not have any cross groves on the top like my Bessey clamps do which like to collect glue during panel glue ups. I do wish this clamp clamp had the removable clamp caps like the Bessey does but is diffidently not a deal breaker. This clamp should last for years and I will be buying more of them. Another great feature is you can change this from a clamp to a spreader fast by pulling one pin and reversing a clamp end.

Works as expected will by 2 more

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.

Excellent clamping pressure and stability

Excellent clamp. The smooth track makes sliding easy and easy to clean up.

I added a couple more of these to my collection. These are solid well built clamps, they remind me a lot of the similar Besse product. Perfect for putting together small to medium panels, gluing woodworking projects together etc.

This clamp is awesome. So strong and doesn’t bend when tightened.

Bar clamps work well. Easy to adjust and tighten.Very well built.
