Did you ever find an old c-clamp that when you ran the threaded rod closed it didn't actually hit the center of the top of the clamp? That's because someone twisted that clamp. This one won't do that. The reason for this tool is to keep the clamp from torquing to one side.

I saw some at Lowes: http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=211319-52800-DHBC-36&lpage=none Can't think of a good use for them.

This clamp is made to sit on the junction between two boards and apply just enough pressure to keep the joint level.

Any one see a real use for this over the old fashion one. Funny, is this really a new inovation, or just a gimmick.
