clamps

Hi,

Ya know, I have Bessies and Cabinert Masters but when it comes right down to it I still prefer my pipe clamps! Do I need therapy?

I have a few different types of clamps thay all seem to come in handy for different projects.

No, you don't need therapy. You should always use the tools that you are most comfortable with.

For all the money I've put into tools in recent years, I can't seem to justify the expense of Bessey clamps. I have an assortment of pipe, bar and quick-grip clamps that do what I need to do. Maybe when I have a wad of cash burnign a hole in my pocket and I can't find anything else to do with it, I'll invest it in a set of Bessey's.:D

bill, i used to feel the same way until i got some besseys.

If you don't like them, don't worry about it. Put them up for sale and buy MORE pipe clamps. Or I'll trade you pipe clamps for Besseys and Cabinet Masters one-for-one. :D

Craig, I'll give you a fair price for your Besseys. They'll get a good home, trust me.

I am clamp poor.:eek: Too many too list here.
I acquired 28 Cabinet Masters during their clamp sale, to use for door glue-ups. But I find myself still reaching for the 1/2" pipe clamps to use. Easier to use, lighter, etc.

Steve, Out of those 28 CM clamps have you broken any of the aluminum die castings? I broke one and they (adjustable clamp co) replaced the aluminum casting with a iron one.

Yes. Had a buddy over helping me do some cabinet work, I was behind, and We were gluing up a face frame to a huge kitchen island box, and one snapped on him. I emailed clampman, he hangs on WN, and He sent me one right out. Later, I had a few that didn't slide good, and I contacted him again. He sent out 6 more replacements for me. They have great customer service.
I have, had, all of them originally the cast alum., and the replacements are black iron.
While we're at it, I noticed your town you live in. I just sent a money order to some fella that I bought something off of Ebay. His emails are bouncing back to me.:confused: Would you go slap him for me if I don't get what I paid for?:eek:
Lol
