I'm really pleased with Split-Jaw over-the-rail clamps I have but they're double the price of the same model Piko clamp. Has anyone noticed a difference between the two that would prevent buying the Piko over the Split-Jaw?
No way! I've also used both types with zero problems.So, am I and others, to conclude that anybody elses' experience, even if qualified, should always be doubted/dismissed ?
No idea, but don't put ideas into their heads!How could a scally walk down the street with a 100 foot length of rail under 1 arm
Is this the same split-jaw that went out of business a few years ago!!to keep this thread on topic, the OP stated:

I am just contrasting the two, PER THE REQUEST OF THE OP.
Did not say Piko was bad, just inferior to the SJ.
Then someone wants to tout Massoth, which was NOT THE ORIGINAL QUESTION
And I believe they are also inferior to SJ.
Answering what the OP asked.
Not saying anything BAD, just not as good...
everyone is taking it to the extreme, their favorite is not the BEST... forgetting just answering the OP's question... he asked if there is a difference that would make him buy the Piko over the SJ?
The only reason is to save money...

Actually no. I read a recent article about the new owner who noted SJs demise and found the name was abandoned also, so they started a new company. They claim to make a better product.Is this the same split-jaw that went out of business a few years ago!
Stainless Steel, and Greg's magnetic personality!Greg, a bit of thread drift here, but how on earth do you get your trains to stay on the track in the background in the first picture?
