  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.

    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.

      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 both ends, toss a thin cloth in there.

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

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

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

  Get a second clamp and daisychain them.

  • Iconoclast@feddit.uk ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    The solution is always more clamps

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

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

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

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

    • tomiant@piefed.social ⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      TIL clamps have tropes.

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

  “paid extra” at the place that sells 50¢ hot dogs

  • Iconoclast@feddit.uk ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

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