Thanks, Nick. My old Pony pipe clamps have a different handle--guess I'll invest in a couple new ones!

Go to Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000V4P2MG/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0000224C9&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=13PBVVEB2224A2EAN8VN Product Description Item #: 018-56. * Throat Depth = 2 1/2 in * Jaw Width = 2 1/2 in * Spindle Diameter = 5/8 in * Jaw Material = Cast Iron * Body Material = Steel * Finish = Powder Coated * Locking Type = Thread Locking * Handle Type = Wing-Nut * Type = Single Pipe Clamp Fixture and many other sites. Use either standard black or galvanized 3/4" pipe (galvanized is cleaner) of lengths of your choosing. I prefer 2 foot lengths; usually you can find convenient lengths in your local Home Depot, etc. One pipe end should be threaded to the standard 3/4" pipe thread, although it doesn't matter if both ends are threaded, just not necessary. Now, the stationary jaw will thread on to one end; you can then remove this jaw, turn it around and install on pipe; likewise the clutched jaw. Good power and easily reversible.
