Just recieved the one I ordered.  Could not be happier!  Just what the "Dr ordered".  Now they show to be "unavailable".  I hope this is temporary and I didnt get the last ONE!  I want to buy another.<br /><br />UPDATE:  I was having some difficulty getting them to hold consistantly in my 3/4" dog holes, 4" thick pine bench (no finish or wax in holes).  It seems the steel rod "burnishes" and or "dents" the softer wood hole walls.  I used a hardened punch and stippled the front and back (contact points) of the holdfast.  It works very well and they hold every time now.  If it starts loosning up again I will counterbore (as seller recommends) the underside of the holes by enlarging the entire hole, insert a shorter hardwood plug, and then re-drill the 3/4" dog holes.  This way the hole walls will be hard wood.  Side note - not all the holes are deep enough to use the holdfast and this way the "through" holes will be easily identified.  Sounds like a lot of work but I chose a soft wood for my bench and saved money... this seems like a small price to pay for an otherwise good decision to use pine.
