I believe it might be one of the fundamental truths of the Buddha.... You never have the correct number or types of clamps. Yet always have seemingly too many clamps to justify buying more.

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

This is absolutely true. I have 1.5 meter pipe clamps as well but the first time I tried using them ended up the same way: not long enough.

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 days ago

Classic mistake.

You need to label them as 1 meter pipe clamps so the work thinks it can get away with being 1.1 meters, but then at the last second you rip off the label and yell "SURPRISE, IT'S ACTUALLY LONG ENOUGH!"

When all you have is a clamp, everything looks like a clamp.

Take the rubber protectors off one/both ends, toss a thin cloth in there.

BTDT

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I did, but lets not talk about that.

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You could remove the hollow metal cylinders on the bar itself. They prevent your clamp from sliding off.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

If you say the word "CLAMP!" it sounds pretty funny. You can say it anywhere, it will always be a pretty funny word. CLAMP.

...oh my god what have i done

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Claaaaaaaaaammmmmmmp!

[–] waka@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Get a second clamp and daisychain them.

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The solution is always more clamps

[–] waka@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 days ago

Always has been.

[–] Trex202@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Clamp extenders

[–] northernlights@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Just remove the plastic thingy that if you're anything like me you're gonna lose anyway?

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

You lose things on purpose before you lose them on accident, in order to retain a semblance of agency in your life?

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

Drill out the stop, that's certainly a decision you won't regret for as long as you own the clamp.

[–] Blackout@fedia.io 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pipe clamps ftw. Brick wall started falling down on my house, got 30ft of pipe and clamped it down. Problem solved

[–] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Problem solved

But...

[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"paid extra" at the place that sells 50¢ hot dogs

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 4 points 2 days ago

The price difference would've bought me 4 hot dogs!

[–] robolemmy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

Go buy a clamp stretcher. Life changing!

[–] IntrovertTurtle@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I actually don't think I get it. Is the handle backwards? 🤔

[–] Iconoclast@feddit.uk 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's about 4mm too short. It's a classic trope with clamps that you never have enough/the right one.

[–] IntrovertTurtle@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

Ahhhh, fair enough, I don't DIY often enough to know the tropes lol
