Bessey 3/4' pipe clamp review and tutorial BPC-H34

This is a review of the 3/4" bessey pipe clamps, and how to use them.

in this video, I will show you how to cut the pipe and use the Bessey clamp. These will deffinetly help you while wood working, and holding wood together after gluing.

I'm going to buy some of these clamps as I am doing a large panel glue up. I have been a subscriber for a while now, and it is good to know that your style has become much more relaxed and comfortable for you in your videos. This video is highly informative. Some don't mention that you only need ONE side threaded, and not both sides. Also you can buy a few cheap threaded couplers and attach the pipes together to make really long pipes for clamping. Thanks for the excellent explanation.

I just went today and got 2 10' 3/4 black pipe at Lowes, the guy there was able to cut them down and thread them for me, I got two 3' n one 4' out of each pipe. I highly recomend going to lowes just cause they could cut and thread the pipe. Also buy end caps for the other end and that will keep your bottom half of the clamp from sliding off the pipe when stored and it gives you something to hold onto when flipping your project to clamp the other side.

Great Tutorial. Got the clamps for Christmas. No instructions in box. Super product. Can't wait to use them.

Would there be any reason to get these over the half inch? What's the clamping strength difference? Can you really deviate the half inch?

Something else to Keep various lengths of pipe on IF you wind up with projects that require clamps longer than your 4'/5' ... you can use small 3/4" connectors and utilize 2 pieces of pipe for extra length on one clamp. (keep in mind, both sections have to be threaded on both ends)

Its worth pointing out that Bessey pipe clamps (and other brands) are available for both 1/2" and 3/4" pipe diameters. For the project shown in this video (3/4" thick board stock) 1/2" clamps would have been more than adequate. The 3/4" clamps (shown in the video) are really too heavy and the pipe is more expensive, but hey if you already own them... by all means, clamp away! :)

Very nice solution to save some budget 😎👍

You said it made more sense for you to buy a 10' length of pipe. How did you thread your cuts? (I'm assuming you didn't just cut the 10' in half)

What are the common sizes for pipe lengths?

You might want to re-think putting your personal phone number in your video.  (See the yellow tag at about 5:45.)
