This helps in ensuring the clamp will be easy to remove in the future if the need arises. It is something that will be particularly helpful with a chrome exhaust pipe of show type vehicles. The anti-seize application can also be done under or inside the clamp on mating surfaces of exhaust pipes to aid easy system removal whenever necessary.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04980065539340519038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-1954952043706066472012-12-08T20:11:10.536-09:002012-12-08T20:11:10.536-09:00Thanks Dan for the tip.

I hardly ever feel I need the 3/4" - they are stiffer and flex less, but I can't remember the last time I needed the extra force. FWIW, those are Bessy that I picked up at the Blue Borg, and I am very happy with them. They are much better than my older Pony clamps.<br /><br />Yes, I completed most of the tool boards, but I'm still creeping along on the chisel storage - hence the large empty space waiting patiently on the wall...someday...Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176548997819533683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-9438651615096370722012-12-08T12:40:58.389-09:002012-12-08T12:40:58.389-09:00Thanks much Dan for the nice tips on the pipe clam...Thanks much Dan for the nice tips on the pipe clamps. Are the pictured pipes half inch or three quarter inch? I will need to get some pipe clamps as a cheaper alternative to parallel clamps, but wasn’t sure if one size is preferred over the other. Flex factor?<br /><br />I see you completed your tool boards. Very nice looking.<br /><br />Dean<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
