Had me excited for a moment; I thought it was a jig. Turns out
that it's a clamp, and I'm not sure what it can do that my
existing pipe clamps can't do.


It self-aligns and holds the seem together without letting it slip
horizontally, much better than a pipe clamp. It also (especially with
the slip-nut upgrade) is much, much quicker than a pipe wrench. This
isn't a big deal if you have 4 pocket screws to drive, but if you have
25, 50, 250 and a deadline, this tool is invaluable and certainly *well*
worth ten bucks.
