Excellent viseless work holding
Bought these holdfasts quite a while ago, just now got around to drilling the holes in my bench and adding blocking for them. They worked just great once I figured out where to bop them to set them in place. I don't have a vise (the holdfasts are helping me build one) and even with a chintzy rubber mallet putting them in place they hold stuff perfectly well for hand tools. Once I have the vise built I expect they'll be used mostly for holding a doe's foot for planing or securing the other end of long stock held in the vise, but they're doing great so far.
