Very handy
I had never owned/used a bench hold fast before, but after reading about them I decided they would be worth trying.  Definitely glad I bought them.  These are well made and work great for holding work on a bench with dog holes.  Old school technology definitely works!  The review page asks for ratings on craftsmanship, warmth and thickness.  I don't know what is meant by "warmth," but the other two areas seem to be excellent, 5 stars.  I would definitely buy again.
Rating: 5 stars
