I'm not familiar with the clamps, but in general, Bora make decent products.
I remember reading a shootout with Jorgensen, Bessey, Bora, Irwin, Jet and another brand. The Boras were dead last in the ranking with complaints of bending and improperly aligned jaws. I am tempted each time this sale comes up but keep drifting back to that review. Can’t seem to find it now to link you... The price is attractive for sure though.
Woodcraft had them on sale a while back so I grabbed 2 of them. When I got home I noticed the jaws were not parallel so I returned them.
I ordered a few from Woodcraft since they had a good price.
They seem to get pretty good reviews with a few dissatisfied reviews as well.

I'll find out this weekend.
Let us know how it goes. Only positive review out there is one that was sponsored. The feedback on the WC sales site is pretty mixed.
Don't know about clamps, but I sure like the folding sawhorses.
Happen to have a link to these?Quote:

I had seen this before I purchased mine. I'll updated once I have the ones I ordered.

Any update?
William unfortunately Woodcraft ran out of the clamps and had to cancel my order. I was a bit bummed but it happens.
I have some nice Juergensen clamps but I still could use a few more good bar clamps (who couldn't really).
I'm starting a couple of projects now and actually picked up a few of the cheap Harbor Freight aluminum clamps (the hack to insert a stiffener seems to work). If I have an issue with them I'm going to go to Woodcraft and pay for some good ones.
Take a look at Dubuque clamp company aluminum bar clamps. I have several dozen of both Bessey parallel and the Dubuque clamps. For 9/10 glue ups I go with the Dubuque’s. They do flex under high tension but most glue ups don’t require insane pressure. The aluminum ones are so much easier to move and lighter.
