Title: An old stand-by that is good but not faultless
Review: These are basic clamps that nobody should be without. But they are extremely heavy when fitted with black pipe (which has a tendency to stain wood) and the clamps have an annoying habit of turning at the most inconvenient moment. (The clamp part also has a tendency to loosen on the threads of the pipe and roll.) BUT, as far as pipe clamps go, THESE are as good as they get. Every woodworker should have a few because of their low cost and versatility. But, for specialized applications, such as gluing panel doors or working on other delicate components, I recommend Bessey clamps (for greater precision)or aluminum bar clamps (for lighter weight).
