Mastercraft Pipe Clamp, 3/4-in 5 5 2 2

Great deal get these on sale and you can not beat the value. This clamp with a piece of pipe is perfect for wood projects. May 6, 2013

They may look retro, but they work great These old-style pipe clamps bring back memories of shop class from years ago. They seemed to disappear from the big box stores, but they seem to be making a small comeback. I’ve been seeing them show up H**e D*p*t and R*na and now at good ol’ Canadian Tire. I picked up a pair of these clamps when I saw them and the accompanying pipe that Canadian Tire (product #0572537) sells. These’s clamps are great for big projects. I used them for edge-to-edge of clamping some pine boards for a new workbench top. The pipe clamps and pipe ended up being cheaper than spreader clamps of the same size. The pipe clamps hold firmly and if you can crank up the pressure with these clamps. In this case, I needed because some of the edges weren’t perfectly straight. Cranking up the pressure made dents in the edges, but I saved time by not having to plane the edges straight. This is a workbench, so I don't care about the dents. If you are working on something fancier, you will need to be more gentle. Also, you may want to “invest” in more padding for the clamps, although FeltTac is a cheap temporary option. The pipe I bought at Canadian Tire wasn’t cheap and it came with a faint coating of oil to give it that “like brand new” shine. I cleaned it off with soapy water. The CT pipe also had one advantage over old time black pipe: It doesn’t leave a mark on the wood if the wood rests on the pipe. These clamps will work with any threaded ¾ inch pipe so you can theoretically make them any length you want. I know one person who used 12’ lengths of pipe for one project. In practice I found pipe clamps tend to flip at inconvenient moments if your is wider than six feet. The MasterCraft pipe clamps have a wide base, so tipping tipping at a critical moment of the glue up is less of a problem than some competitors.) The clamps work great, but I’d recommend picking them up on sale. Also, buy your screw thread pipe at a plumbing shop. You can get pipe the length you want and it ends up being cheaper.
