Does anyone have an opinion on tractor supply Larin brand 3/4 pipe Clamps?

 

[Herb Stoops]

I would guess they are off shore made. They are selling them at 1/2 price what they sell for here:

larin vises at SHOP.COM with a 1 year warranty for what that maybe worth.

Seems Larin makes machinist vices but they are substantially cheaper than USA made.

I have noticed that some of the cast iron clamps made off shore have reduced the thicknesses of the castings, but for home use they might work.

If you can, take a short piece of pipe with you when you buy them. I've got some that are around 30 years old that I think I got from Sears and they work great. I bought some more later, probably Chinese, and I have a hell of a time sliding them up and down the pipe. Sometimes I have to hammer them to move them. It might be due to a metric to Imperial conversion mismatch. Make sure they work smoothly or you'll be ticked off every time you go to use them.

Still 5 dollars more than Harvard freight!! I like Harvard freight 3/4 at 10 dollars good buy. I don't have that problem with Harvard freight and Lowes black pipe.

OK, thanks for all the feedback. I was wondering because of the sale price at TS is $3.99 clearance item.

If they're even the "same" quality as Harbor Freight's you'll use them for a lot of things.

Can never have too many clamps of any kind!!!

Well, I have had the opportunity to use the pipe Clamps by Larin and found them to be easy to use. They're currently clamping some MDF and counter top holding well.
