They do have some cool tools. Thanks for the link. I see one I want.
The
three axis clamp for welding up machine bases would be really handy. If
their locking pliers are decent quality they may be a substitute for
Vise-Grip since IMO the VG quality isn't as good since they out sourced.


Picked up on them from Jody, youtube welding videos. No experience
with them but I haven't heard anyone badmouth the stuff...

Note the quick spinner for the adjustment on the locking wrenches. I
haven't noticed that elsewhere.


There was a fellow on Ebay selling an extended length replacement screw for
locking VG brand clamping pliers a while back. I think his gimick was you
could crank them down on stuff even if you couldn't get your hands in there.
I don't remember exactly. Its been a while. It would have made a decent
quick spinner too.
