Review: UK option for Jay Bates style pipe clamp bench vise - I bought a pair of these to make a pipe clamp vise for my Paulk style workbench. Coupled with 500mm pipe (purchased separately, I got mine pre threaded cheaply on eBay ) they are now a plenty strong enough high capacity fixture. I lifted my design directly from Jay Bates. I used poplar for my jaws. Very adjustable and indeed removeable due to the spring mechanism. ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 14 years.

Pipe as well as one customer reports pipe was not included** A: You do not get the pipe I even contacted the seller because it's sold as a 50 inch clamp and they said you don't get the pipe so how can it be a 50 inch clamp , hope this helps **Q: I would want to use two of these clamps to create a permanent bench pipe clamp vice for my work bench. Suitable for fitting? Any advice welcome.** A: These will do a great job. You will need to purchase some pipe separately, ideally pre threaded at one end. I made one (review and image to follow) inspired by a Jay Bates video on youtube. **Q: where can i get the pipes from and do they need to be threaded ?** A: You can get pipes from local hardware store or a plumber. And yes, thread is needed from one side. **Q: Is this threaded for npt or bsp?** A: Must be bsp as I put lengths of standard bsp pipe in them no problem. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best *by D***L on 17 January 2024* Superb clamps very sturdy and Amazon is the cheapest place to purchase them by a considerable amount. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ UK option for Jay Bates style pipe clamp bench vise *by J***N on 5 October 2017* I bought a pair of these to make a pipe clamp vise for my Paulk style workbench. Coupled with 500mm pipe (purchased separately, I got mine pre threaded cheaply on eBay ) they are now a plenty strong enough high capacity fixture. I lifted my design directly from Jay Bates. I used poplar for my jaws. Very adjustable and indeed removeable due to the spring mechanism. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value for money and should last for many years *by C***S on 25 May 2018* These came from America via amazon and were very well priced. These are not refined pipe clamps in any way but they work well enough and being cast iron should last for many years. As they are very good vfm I would be happy to buy again and almost certainly will once my workshop is ready. ## Frequently Bought Together - BESSEY BPC-H12, 1/2 In.
