Clamp recommendations

I have 8 pipe clamp sets, and then a messload of different lengths of 3/4" pipe. I think they are all Bessey.
The problem I had was that the "fixed" end of the clamp will tilt with just a few pounds of force, and then move the workpiece.
So I added a small steel pad and screw at the bottom to remove the clearance.

I covered all of my large clamp handles with a grippy shrink tubing that I bought on the jungle river site. It's called "X-Tube Heat Shrink Wrap. You need a pretty stout heat gun to fully shrink it. It definitely helps considerably with the heartbreak of Geezer-grip.
