Where do Jet clamps rank? This set is $260 on Amazon, $200 on my local Craigslist.

The blocks are shown in the CL listing, no mention of the bench dogs.

Jets are ok, You want to oil the screw PIVOT point where it meets the
big washer end, not only the screw itself.

Also these type clamps normally do not need passing to prevent denting
the wood. NOT THE CASE with Jet. Jet clamps imprent the work.


Not that I'm planning on buying them, but what is different about the Jet
clamps that they damage the wood?


I'd be interested in knowing for sure but if I had to guess, I would say
the plastic covering on the jaws is thinner on the Jets.
