Hi, I apologize but please consult a professional technician for this. Thank you.

It is highly recommended that this be welded instead of clamped. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us. info@truckfinity.com

Yes. I have three of these and the clamps have been very durable and sturdy.

I've used other clamps. Not as handy, but depending on the shape of the material it can work.

Alternate fues should work, provided that you have an appropriate regulator and the neccesary safety devices. Contact your local welding supply.

The clamp is plastic, and not all that thick. I'm not sure exactly what your set up is, but I'm thinking it will not work how you want it to with out some reinforcing.

no. you can use a flat head screwdriver to pry the clamp off if you need to.

yes, use a little electricians tape on inside of clamp if loose at barrel attachment points

If you lack welding capabilities, you can bend it back (gently) and use a cold weld such as JB Weld. Make sure you let it sit the required amount of time (if not longer) before use, otherwise you will bend it again and it will set incorrectly. I would use the 8265S Original-Reinforced as opposed to the quick setting. You can pick it up at your local Lowe's/Home Depot for around $7.

You can use any sanding sheets and yes they clamp on. I really like the adhesive sheets though because they stick so well I get a lot more wear out of them. I never had any trouble with them coming off when I was ready to replace them either. I know they are a little more expensive but when I figured out how much longer they last it was worth it in the long run. Hope this helped.

Depending on the size of the aluminum it differs but a foot and a half you can probably do, you just have to be skilled enough with a soldering iron to get it to bind. Personally for anything over a foot I prefer welding, it's typically stronger and more durable.

You can do Aluminum with this!!!! Most of these reviews do not know what the hell they are talking about. Is it an ideal Aluminum Welderer? NO! But, just because it is DC does not mean is can't do Aluminum. You will need to use Helium and clean the pieces immediately before welding. This is proven by the following vidhttp://youtu.be/H_DwA0vzKXI

You need clamps epoxy a hammer and a file or circular sander. Also some times you need a circular saw it depends on if they mill the hole in the back at the factory I've heard from many people that they don't always do it.

Clamps. I got this for my husband for Fathers Day. He uses every time he grills.

If you mean can the clamp be fasten on a metal table or wooden one yes. My husband uses his to work on a metal table.

The version I bought had straight clamps. I am not sure how far back you need the fltechings but you will need to verify the style clamps you order as the kit will only come with one style (straight, 30 degrees, reverse, etc.). Otherwise, this is a great system as long as you prep the shaft properly and use good quality glue.

Confusing answers! This particular tool can only be used for the copper style crimp rings...NOT the stainless steel cinch clamps.

I wouldn't weld. Clamp it, and hang it. Auto parts store should have what you need. Its only a muffler
