So if you missed the amazon deal, here is a very similar, and slightly cheaper deal at Rockler. This kit has riser blocks, as opposed to clamp extensions.
From the site:
Features:
Sturdy jaw construction with metal-reinforced plastic housing
End clip is easily removable without tools so you can convert the clamp to a spreader
Adjustable, removable plastic risers lift your work off of the bar to eliminate marring and glue smearing
No-mar clamp faces are glue- and solvent-resistant
Clamp faces are removable to fit optional accessories like the Pivoting Jaw Faces (#51431, sold separately)
Included KP Blocks let you set up a stable frame clamping fixture, ensuring square corners and no-tip performance

What you're referring to is the Revo Jr, which has 900 #s of clamping force. These are the standard Revo, which have 1700 #s of clamping force. They are different clamps that are sold at different price points.
Maybe you should start making things first, then you'll know the lengths of the clamps that you need.
You are not going to bow a 1/2" pipe in 30" doing woodworking. What is the matter with 1/2" pipe for smaller clamp jobs? How much pressure do you really need for a 12" cabinet? Why add 50% more weight for 3/4" when not needed?
Unless you are using a ratchet on a Bessey, or any other parallel clamp, any pipe clamp has the availability of a hell of a lot more pressure without even trying.
================
Having about 25 or so Bessey clamps, I like them... but bought them and others in like new condition from estate sales for chump change. A lot of people retire and want a hobby.... and buy a lot of the perceived best of the best for very occasional usage.
For HD, out of stock goes to retail price as a special order if you want it now.
That said, the OP listing is still a reasonable deal if you need them and of course, can justify the expenditure... you know you are going to want more.

I can also vouch for the HF ones, they're super cheap and very decent.
Parallel clamps are nicer to work with in general though and offer wider clamping surface. But there's a premium to that for sure.

If all that one has are pipe clamps for wood, brass, anodized aluminum extrusion, etc. projects, then use scraps of 3/4" plywood or boards to protect and spread the clamping force over more area. For metal fabrication and welding, just spray the acme thread with some weld splatter protection. Pipe clamps are quite versatile with the capability of tremendous applied force. But, as you say, there are better tools more specific to application... like quality parallel clamps for woodworking and other projects.
Why would I type all that for a different clamp? It's the same model clamp, not the Jr.
