Striplox 180D Joint Connector

I have a bar that was my great grandfathers. It had been taken apart and not stored ideally for a couple of years. The top of the bar warped a lot so when I lined up the two pieces they were about 1/2 an inch out of line. Was really trying to figure out how to get them aligned again, when I ran across this product and decided to give it try.Worth every penny. I used some clamps to realign the two pieces. Once in place I got under neath and attached the Striplox. Released the clamps an every thing stayed aligned.
