Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The best ideas are often the simplest, which explains why Jorgenson is well known among woodworkers as the maker of some of the best clamps available, and their 3/4-inch steel bar clamp is no exception. No shop can have too many of these. They offer a basic, reliable design--featuring a crank handle, no holes, no rivets, and no notches--that leaves little room for improvement. These clamps are great for a huge variety of jobs, can be used on any length of pipe your task requires, and can be relied on to keep their grip without loosening up or slipping. Removing the clamps when the job is done is quick and easy every time. Sure, some may say that a clamp is a clamp, and to some extent that's true. But with so many brands on the market, there's a reason it's so hard to find a shop that's not full of Jorgenson clamps. If you're looking for reliable clamps at a price that allows you to buy as many as you need, Jorgensen clamps are tough to beat. --Brian Trinen

These clamps are great and no matter how many you own you will always need one more. To make them even more usable buy pipe that is threaded on both ends. Then you can use a connector to join the pipes together if you need a longer clamp. We connected five 48" bars together once to make a 20' clamp and used it to draw up the rails on a deck.

With both ends threaded you'll need to protect the threads on the exposed end of the clamp. For 3/4" pipe I use 1" heavy rubber chair foot protectors. They are the rubber pads you often see used on the bottom of a cane or pair of crutches. You should be able to find them at any hardware or big box store sold in packs of four for a couple dollars. Just think of it as a low cost investment that may save you a lot of grief later on. The pads last almost ten years before they dry out and need to be replaced. They'll not only protect the pipe threads but if you ever stand them up on end, and we all do, they won't slip and possibly damage a job site floor. When doing a kitchen one of our guys had a clamp slip and the cost of the floor repair would have bought more pads than you and I both would have used in several lifetimes.

Additionally, you should consider putting rubber pads on the end all of your pipe clamps whether they're threaded or not. I have a crescent shaped scar on my right foot that is a constant reminder that every pipe clamp needs a rubber pad on the end. For almost 30 years I've kept pads on every 3/4" pipe clamp I own and if the pad is off or missing it does not leave the shop.

If you work with wood, you need a few sets of these. They're strong to the point of being unbreakable, they won't flex under any reasonable clamping load, and they stay upright and won't roll around.

One tip: Get some 3/4" foam pipe insulation and keep it with the clamps. You can cut pieces of foam to varuious lengths, and wrap them around the pipe. That'll keep your wood from getting dented or oily from contact with the pipe.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pipe Clamps good for most applications., December 28, 1999

Pipe clamps are among the most inexpensive things you can buy for your shop. Figure that you will need to add the cost of the 3/4" pipe and you can have a pair of clamps for less than $30.00. You do have to be careful though. Using black pipe can stain wood that rests on the pipe. The handles on the Jorgensens are great, but you have to resist the temptation to pull up bad joints by over-torqueing, thus crushing the wood. If you have the money, invest in the BESSEY K-body clamps. I guarantee you that if you are serious about woodworking, you will not find anything better and you will most likely end up wanting them anyway.
