I've seen (and read) a lot of clamp reviews over the years. Most of them cobble together a series of pseudo-scientific testing parameters and torture tests that seem important but actually do very little to tell you how the clamps will perform over the course of years in your shop. So when I decided to conduct a review of the Harbor Freight Bremen Parallel Clamps (https://sovrn.co/qarzz1w), I knew I had to approach this with a common sense frame of mind. We won't be testing the flatness of panels, the squareness of the heads, or the clamping force available (watch this video to see why - The Truth about Parallel Clamps    • How To TRULY Understand What A Parall...  ). Instead, we're going to do something incredibly ground-breaking: we're going to use the clamps for a few months.
