Bill Maniotakis – video profile

I used to work for a large industrial supply house here in Canada and the brand we carried was Jorgensen however my main clamp has always been the 3/4in pipe clamp. I do not plan to replace my Jorgensen bar clamps but I have replace my #50 pipe clamps with the new Bessey pipe clamps because of the extened feet on them which makes them so much easier to use. Both are of excellent quality and I have been using them for about 40yrs but the new Bessey pipe clamps are a significant upgrade and are currently hanging on my clamp rack waiting for another chance to play.
