Works as intended
I was a little concerned after reading other reviews stating that this did not hold fast. However, the one I received works great. It holds wood pieces firmly without leaving marks on hardwood. It is well made with no rough edges or other deformities. When I built my bench, I used a 3/4 inch forsner bit to drill the holes, so I know that they are 3/4 inch all the way through and straight through. The total thickness of the bench top is 3 inches and the side skirt is 1 3/4 inch. Both surfaces hold the hold fast well in place. A firm wack with a wood mallet will set and release the hold fast as it should.
