Who buys it

Where it earns
its keep

Small bore crews

1 to 8 inch is the range where a full chain clamp is overkill.

Repair work

Out-of-round is the normal condition on a repair, not the exception.

Questions people actually ask

What is the largest pipe it takes?

8 inch diameter is the maximum capacity, and it works down to 1 inch.

Will it hold pipe that is out of round?

Yes. The chain holds and locks around the pipe even when it is out of round.

How do the jackbars work?

Four jackbars adjust pressure and fit-up independently, so you can push the joint into line.
