I snagged a few of these some years back from WoodCraft on sale at Xmas time. Have been great clamps and were very reasonably priced. But I cant seem to find them anywhere now. Did they stop making them?

Any recommendations on a decent parallel clamp that does not break the bank also welcome !

Lee Valley currently has a deal on a set of four:

“Until June 29, 2016, we're offering a set of four clamps, two with a 23-3/4" opening and two with an opening of 39-1/2" for only $139 – a saving of $53 compared to individual prices. ”

I bought these, and they seem fine so far (which of course is not very long).
I think the Groz clamps replaced them?

Peachtree branded. $5 more than Lee Valley though for the 4 clamp deal, don't know about shipping. Keep an eye out for sales & coupons?

Got an email yesterday that Peachtree's regular four clamp package deal would be on sale for $100 vs. the $145 regular price. JULY16 is the discount code. Believe it might kick in free shipping too.

Email said the offer expires midnight eastern on July 5th.

I'd say $100 is a fair deal for that. I paid $90 last winter for the exact same set with a Groz label on them. They were on clearance at Wood Craft. And like you, I had Wood River clamps that I was going to try to keep going with, but they quit making them.
