You already have the knife and cutting board in service just to clean
the cloves.

Possibly a garlic press is capable of squeezing all the juice or essence out
of a clove without having to clean away the outer shell. That would make it
quite a bit faster I think.

Hey, don't any of you other woodworkers out there do any cooking? What
exactly does a garlic press do?

I have one, pretty much never use it, once I learned to just smash the
clove with the knife flat, remove the skin, then finely chop, technically
the knife just needs a quick wipe for a cleanup.

The garlic press, leaves a bunch of garlic crap, embedded into the blades,
and around the sides of it, much more effort for cleanup, and definitely
no difference as far as the upcoming garlicky good meal goes.

Just my two cents Canadian.
