Forged beats cast for durability any day of the week
I added some "crubber" to the under-side of the foot, left over from the installation of my Benchcrafted Glide leg vise.  I've got 3/4" holes drilled down my bench top and these holdfasts do a great job of immobilizing my workpieces to the bench.  With a longer reach than the non-premium version, I'll be able to space the holes for these a little further apart and no have my bench top look like Swiss Cheese by the time I'm done.<br /><br />Highly recommended, and given how long a good set of holdfasts lasts, worth the bump in price over the non-premium version.
