What do you use for a deep clamp?
Just noticed some Irwin 9SP 9" locking C clamps (two per package
for $20 US) at the local mega hardware store, and grabbed them. They have smaller Vise Grip handles and lighter duty clamp jaws than the standard heavy-duty locking C clamp at the same store, but the reach is 1 5/8" longer. Not massive clamping power, but they work great as expected. What do you use for a deep grip clamp? |

I used a pipe clamp and tubasixes to form up a concrete repair job for a client's steps once. I cut it 3/4" too long and bend the tubasixes with the clamp. Client was amazed and stated so with a kudo.

A couple of those bessies saved my ass just enough times to make them worth the money. I used them maybe a dozen times in a decade... if that. (Handy when you have a warped flange on a stainless sink, for instance. ) |

Bessey medium duty malleable iron clamps give 4-1/2" or more (I've got two that can go 7 inches, and they sell them up to 12). Irwin has similar clamps that go 4-7/8. Jorgensen 4900s go up to 9 inches but they aren't cheap. When I need more than 7 inches though I usually pile some free weight disks on it, or sometimes a bag of shot. |
