Reply:Yup, its for aligning 2 pieces of pipe and holding them in place while you put the root tacks in.One side goes in the larger jaws and you clamp it tight.  Then use a piece of wire or wedges to set your gap and place the other pipe in from the other side.  Use the small screws to center it, make your tacks and remove the clamp.Like soHave we all gone mad?

Reply:Hey, tools is tools...When you run out of room, get a bigger tool box and keep fillin.  I made it to a MATCO 7525 top and bottom before I got retired and had to slow down on the acquisitions.  Momma dont let me get on the tool truck anymore since she figured out the average price per step is 300 USD.  I hate a smart wife, too bad I cant kill her.  But since she is too big to eat and whats left over is too much for the fridge I will leave her alone.BobI'm spending my Kids inheritance, I dont like him that much anyway!!!!!!Enuff tools to do the job, enough sense to use em.Anybody got a spare set of kidneys?  Trade?
