Key Features
High Clamping ForceUp to 1,100 lbs of clamping pressure helps pull assemblies together and keep panels, boxes, and casework square while glue sets. Protects WorkpiecesThe 3.5 in. wide padded jaws spread pressure evenly, so you get a firm hold without beating up finished edges or softer stock. Easy To AdjustA large easy-grip handle and passive lock jaw make the Bora 571550I 4-Piece Parallel Clamp Set quicker to position and tighten during glue-ups.
Overview
The Bora 571550I 4-Piece Parallel Clamp Set is built for woodworkers, cabinet makers, and serious DIY users who need dependable pressure across wide glue-up surfaces. This is a parallel clamp set designed for panel glue-ups, cabinet assembly, and keeping workpieces square during clamping. Model Number: 571550I. If you are working on boxes, drawers, casework, or furniture parts, this set gives you the kind of control that matters more than brute force alone.
What makes a parallel clamp useful is not just how hard it clamps, but how evenly it does it. Bora rates this set at 1,100 lbs of clamping pressure, which is enough force for demanding woodworking assemblies where parts need to pull together cleanly. The 3.5 in. wide padded jaws help distribute that force across a broader area, which reduces the chance of denting edges or marring finished surfaces. That matters when you are working with plywood boxes, hardwood panels, or parts that are already milled and ready for finish.
The jaw design also makes this set easier to work with than light-duty bar clamps when accuracy matters. As you tighten the clamp, the jaws stay parallel to the work, helping keep assemblies aligned instead of twisting them out of square. In practical terms, that means less fighting during glue-up and fewer surprises when you check for flatness and fit after the clamps come off.
Bora also paid attention to usability. The large easy-grip handle gives you better control when you are tightening under load, and the passive lock jaw stays in place while winding the clamp. That saves time when you are setting multiple clamps across a panel or trying to hold a carcase together without a second set of hands. The result is a clamp set that feels more predictable during setup, especially when you are moving quickly through a glue window.
This 4-piece set includes two 24 in. clamps and two 31 in. clamps, which gives you a practical mix for smaller cabinet boxes, drawer assemblies, shelving, edge glue-ups, and general bench work. Instead of getting four of the same size and working around it, you get a more flexible spread that covers common shop tasks without overloading your rack with specialty sizes.
One of the more useful details shown on the product is the reversible jaw for spreading. That adds another layer of versatility because the clamp is not limited to pulling parts together. It can also be set up to push pieces apart when needed, which is handy for certain fit-up tasks and assembly adjustments in the shop.
At 28.1 lb for the full set, this is not a throwaway clamp pack. It is a heavier-duty parallel clamp kit aimed at users who care about repeatable results, even pressure, and cleaner assemblies. If your projects involve cabinetry, furniture parts, boxes, or other glue-ups where alignment matters, this set earns its keep fast. If you only need a quick hold for rough framing or temporary jobsite work, lighter clamps may do the trick, but for accurate woodworking, parallel clamps are the right tool.
Even Pressure Without Beating Up The Work
Wide padded jaws are a big deal on finished or carefully milled parts. Instead of concentrating force on a small contact point, these jaws spread it out so you can clamp confidently during cabinet and furniture assembly.
- 3.5 in. wide padded jaws help reduce surface damage
- Designed to apply constant, even pressure across the workpiece
- Jaw is reversible for spreading when the job calls for pushing parts apart
More Control During Glue-Ups
A clamp is only useful if you can position it fast and tighten it without fighting it. Bora’s easy-grip handle and passive lock jaw make adjustments smoother when you are running multiple clamps across a project.
- Large handle improves grip and makes tightening easier under load
- Passive lock jaw stays in place while winding the clamp
- Good fit for repeated panel work, box assembly, and casework

Pro Tip
When you are gluing up a cabinet box or panel, stage all four clamps before the glue goes on and alternate them across the workpiece. You will get more even pressure, and if you need to tweak a fit, the reversible jaw gives you a quick spreading option without reaching for another tool.
