Review of Pony 56 2-1/2" Deep Reach Clamp & Spreader Fixture for 3/4" Pipe

These clamps have been around forever and for those of us who are older than dirt they are like dear friends that we could not bear living without.I have several and will continue using them until one of us wears out.

Novice and weekend woodworkers might find that they are a little more trouble than they're worth.If you have never used these clamps in the past then I strongly suggest that you find a way somehow to try them out first.The deep throat pipe clamp has a somewhat awkward feel when compared to the Jorgensen #50 3/4" Pony Pipe Clamp and it is definitely going to be more difficult to use.

From the beginner to the dusty old pro and everyone in between, if you're just not sure that this is the one for the job I recommend that before buying these clamps try wrapping your hand around the one of the new Jorgensen ISD Bar Clamps.For the price these ISD bar clamps are in my opinion are the best I've ever used.The first time I got my paws on one I bought a half of a dozen. Within two weeks I owned 8 each of the 6's, 12's and 18's and I'm trying really hard to convince myself that I don't need any 24's because I don't have the room to extend my clamp rack again. But then everyone says, you'll always need one more clamp no matter how many you have.

Now back to the Pony 3/4" Deep Throat Pipe Clamp.There are some applications where this clamp is absolutely perfect but for every one of those there are many where it is not.I don't know why but I have found that many woodworkers, myself included, have a tendency to crank these guys down a little more than they would other clamps.Be aware that you will damage your work if these clamps are not used properly.I have to constantly remind myself that when I go for one more turn most likely I have already gone one turn too many.
