I'm looking to buy some parallel clamps and I'm wondering if the ones from Harbor Freight are good enough or if there are better alternatives out there. Any recommendations?

I've found that the Harbor Freight clamps are pretty decent for the price, but there are definitely better options out there. My go-to clamps are old Jorgensen Cabinet Masters that I've picked up at garage sales, and they've served me well over the years.
I saw a YouTube video comparing various clamps, and they rated Besey clamps as the top performer. Harbor Freight wasn't far behind, and at about half the price, they're a solid choice if you're on a budget!
I've used Harbor Freight clamps a lot and haven't had any issues. They work just as well as the pricier brands for most jobs. They're not perfect, but they get the job done without breaking the bank. Plus, if you're patient, you can find coupons to make them even cheaper!
