Pipe clamps for tightening and aligning stainless steel pipe and fittings are virtually all the same. Right?

Wrong. One company offers truly innovative pipe clamps along with the most efficient tripod vise I’ve ever seen for mounting and welding stainless steel pipe.

The old school red tripod vises we’ve all used for years are fine for threaded pipe, but for spot welding fittings on pipe, they’re pretty awkward at best. I mean, how exactly are you supposed to hold a 90 elbow in one hand, a tig torch in the other hand, and a filler rod in the other hand?

that’s three hands! Count on Sonny Jim.

Instead of a chain vise with jaws that can be driven into polished stainless steel pipe, this innovative “Tripod Vise” offered by TechSouth Inc. features a clamping tool designed to join marked stainless steel pipe and fittings. of jaws and without contamination from iron particles that can cause rust to appear later.

And a person only has two hands. Right? But two hands are more than enough for one person to fit, tap and weld stainless steel pipe with this unique tripod vise. It’s actually called “Clark Quick Switch – Folding Industrial Platform.”

The term “tripod screw” just doesn’t do it justice. It is in a class by itself.

Of course, this tripod vise will work with any type of material, but since it’s made from materials it won’t contaminate stainless steel pipes and fittings with iron particles.

TechSouth Inc. also offers many other innovative stainless steel pipe and tube welding and assembly and welding products.
