Most glue joints don't require a ton of pressure. My experience has been that if they're going to slip, they slip at the first hint of pressure. You don't have to put the gorilla on them. I have a whole bunch of Pony, probably 3 or 4 that slip pretty regular until I whack them. I have several of the Rocker BigFoot that have never been a problem. RE: Do your black pipe clamps slip? - Mike in kc - 08-13-2019 I have maybe fifteen HF clamps I bought 20 years ago and they have been fine. I use galvanized pipe and am thankful I bought all the pipe I needed before Home Depot quit threading pipe. They used to cut and thread for free if you bought 10' pieces. The best/easiest to use couplers for making up long clamps are the non "taper threaded" type sold for electrical conduit. RE: Do your black pipe clamps slip? - Philip1231 - 08-14-2019 Have used galvanized and have had no problems.

RE: Do your black pipe clamps slip? - Bit_Fiddler - 08-15-2019 Make sure there is no oily residue on the pipes from manufacturing or the thread cutting?

I only buy the galvanized nowadays. I haven't had the same problem you're having, don't know if the galvanized pipe is better in this regard, but overall I do like the galvanized better. RE: Do your black pipe clamps slip? - kdouglaslee - 08-26-2019 For a couple of decades I've had a bunch of ponies and a bunch of Horrible Fright pipe clamps. I went to buy several more Pony clamps this year, found out they're no longer available. I looked around and was going to buy the Bessie pipe clamps, but they are ALL made in China nowadays, so I went to HF. My new HF pipe clamps seem to be slightly better than my old HF clamps and are about half the price of the Bessies or Dewalts.
