These medium-duty clamps deliver the clamping pressure and performance needed by professionals, hobbyists, and DIYers alike. Ideal for everyday woodworking tasks such as gluing panels, assembling casework, boxes, frame-and-panel doors, or any project requiring precise 90-degree clamping to the rail, they ensure square glue-ups every time while preventing parts from bowing. They can also be used with your work parallel to the flat bar rail when clamping longer, flat pieces. Offering all the key features and functionality of our heavy-duty clamps but with reduced clamping pressure—still adequate for most tasks—they provide a lighter, less bulky, and more affordable option for professional results.

Featuring steel-reinforced nylon jaws, they provide powerful and rigid clamping pressure. The jaws, measuring 5-1/4" x 1-3/4", distribute clamping forces evenly, with a generous usable jaw depth of 3-3/8". Both jaws come equipped with anti-marring, glue-resistant, removable clamping pads.  The 1-3/4" wide jaws allow you to use fewer clamps and prevent crushing of your workpieces. 

The jaws of these clamps will not free-fall and strike your workpiece (or your hand) when used or stored vertically. The moveable jaws disengage and slide along the rail effortlessly when pressure is released and the handle is lifted. To lock the clamping head securely, simply lower the handle, slide it to the desired position, and apply pressure. The moveable jaw locks onto the serrated steel I-beam via several hardened clutch plates.  These clamps generate up to 880 lbs. of clamping pressure. 

Each clamp comes with a removable stop at the end of the rail to prevent the clamp head from sliding off and to keep the clamps level during narrow glue-ups. Remove the stops, reverse the head, and the clamps can also be used as spreaders.

Featuring a 1" x 0.25" C45 carbon steel I-beam rail, these clamps resist flexing and torsional forces. The steel rail is nickel-plated, while the screw is blackened to prevent corrosion.

The moveable jaw has a smooth-turning carbon steel Acme screw, delivering maximal clamping pressure with minimal effort. Jaw screw travel is a full 1". 

The ergonomic soft-grip two-part Plastic/TPR handle optimizes torque and reduces hand fatigue.

Material: Reinforced C45 Steel

    Works smoothly and provides excellent clamping force
    These clamps work smoothly and provides excellent clamping force. After first use having applied full clamping force for 24 hours on a 2 X 6 laminated workbench top, clamps easily unlocked. Clamps slid easily on rail following first use and continue to work well.

    Taytools MD parallel clamps
    This time, I purchased four Taytools MD parallel clamps, and unfortunately, one of the four has a problem with the clamping mechanism. The movable jaw slips and will not properly bite onto the bar when tightening, making the clamp unusable.The other three clamps work as expected and hold securely, so this appears to be an issue with this particular clamp rather than a problem with the design or my usage. I previously purchased two of these clamps, and both of those have worked perfectly. Based on my experience with the previous clamps, I decided to purchase four more.Overall, I'm satisfied with the clamps that are functioning properly, but I would expect all four of the new clamps to function properly out of the box, just like the two I purchased previously.

    Great clamps!
    These clamps are fantastic. I consider them medium duty, which is all anyone needs for standard glue ups.

    Ordered these clamps for light duty work and they meet my needs.
    Ordered 12 inch clamp for smaller projects. They worked very well and I am pleased with them.

    Solid product.
    It's a bargain for sure. Losing one star because one of mine came with a broken retaining clip which Taylor tool promised to replace, but even after several inquiries, never did. :(

    Great value
    These are a great value in clamps. Have used them several times and they work very well for cabinet glue ups, etc.
