Tmize Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Has anybody used them they look a good deal. But as we all know it's don't always a good thing. If they they are junk could I get a recommendation for where I could get a good pair from? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmize Posted October 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Thanks that's the ones I've seen I just couldn't find a link on where to buy them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardA Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Gramercy is the one to buy. They are damn near unbeatable. When you get yours, get a thick piece of leather and glue it on the flat. You'll love how easy it is on your workpieces. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonjaze Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 I been using the Rockler holdfasts for about a month now, along with some lee valley ones. My top is 2 1/4" thick, and they work just fine. I plan on putting a pad on them, because they leave their blue paint behind. I prefer the lee valley, but they don't require a mallet.

Stephen Prunier Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Another happy user of the Gramercy holdfasts here. When you first use them, take some sandpaper to the shaft. It will help them grab the bench hole better. The leather pads are a nice add-on too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
