The really weird thing I thought was that he wrapped his handles with hockey tape, must be a Canadian thing? He also uses a ballpoint pen for marking, which seems odd.
No comment on the pen, but the hockey tapering works great. I have some 4" clamps with small handles that were pretty hard to tighten before I taped them up..
Stand for something, or you'll fall for anything.
