They have gotten a little pricey but, you can always watch for sales.

I don't have much as far as deep reach clamps but a little while back I scored a pair of 84" jet parallels for $100 + free shipping  gloat...i had to take 2 pictures to see the whole thing end to end. The shorter pair in the pictures are 72". I'll probably never clamp anything that big but I can't resist a good sale

I'll be checking the Rockler e-mails for specials to hopefully pick some up as I have quite a few of the original Besseys. Nice clamps but the grips can't compare to the Revos IMO. Doug
I've always enjoyed seeing how people store their tools. Clamps are no exception. Most of these pics are a few years old, and I've picked up a few more here & there. Some of those haven't found a good home yet, but I'm keepin' my eyes open
![[Image: frPkcIA.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/frPkcIA.jpg) This is my version of one that a WN member posted here several years ago. I can't remember who it was, but he was strongly encouraged to submit it to a magazine by just about everyone who saw it. I remember seeing it WOOD a couple months later... ![[Image: Bghb8fq.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/Bghb8fq.jpg) ![[Image: hSiaSWS.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/hSiaSWS.jpg) This is an older pic. I've got a few of the light duty 4" Jorgies in here now, too. I'm a little surprised how often I use them. ![[Image: eD8Edzc.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/eD8Edzc.jpg) ![[Image: EE6mO7A.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/EE6mO7A.jpg) I still use pipe clamps on a fairly regular basis. ![[Image: U3j5HdN.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/U3j5HdN.jpg) ![[Image: ikNiVA4.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/ikNiVA4.jpg) I've found it's always handy to have a few spares...  ![[Image: qSqSdwo.jpg]](https://i.imgur.com/qSqSdwo.jpg) As for long reach, I've got a couple sticks of black pipe, 10' long, I keep around for the really long jobs. I haven't actually had to go that far yet, but I've had a couple over 8'... Dave

Sweet setup Big Dave. Love that Delta DP.
