Line-Up Clamp For Pipes FARM SHOP Handy Hints 26-5-38 Frank Barber, Decaturville, Tenn.: "I designed this line-up clamp out of necessity since I am a 30-year member of a Pipefitter's union in Chicago. Having to make pipe welds in very confined spaces, we needed a small lightweight clamp. It consists of a pair of locking chain pliers with four movable alignment dogs.
"It will line up round, square, rectangular, hexagon, and other pipe of different diameters. It weighs under 4 lbs. and will work on pipe up to 5 1/2 in. dia. You can go larger by adding more chain and dogs. The extra chain comes in 18-in. lengths.
"We're selling the tool direct through a company we started, Piddler Tool Co. It's patent pending and sells for $135 plus $7.50 S&H. An extra length of chain is $10. Each alignment dog is $25 when purchased separately."
