Youtube is full of interesting videos.

I found this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT1qNBaJJhM&feature=iv&src_vid=FLtWd0N8QbQ&annotation_id=annotation_1491457543)on 4 way clamps which I would find useful. This is the second invention this young man has created. I think he'll be rich someday.

Well we'll see if and when they actually come out and how much they go for. Interesting idea though.

Yes- this is the 'Easiest drawers ever' guy.

I hope he meets with some success- he seems to be very clever.

I'd like to see a "slip-on" version that doesn't require any material modification to the clamp.

I love seeing clever folks keep swinging. I wish the guy nothing but success. Small business success will help revive our country. As to 4-way clamps, all versions I have played with (including production versions with pneumatics and all that) fall short of producing a "finished" surface but, they do minimize the additional work required to get "finished". For production runs the value of 4-way clamps is indisputable. In my little one-man operation, not so much. the idea is very cool and I can definitely see a market for such a device.

I've not tried these. Can you apply similar forces as the bar clamps?
