I just picked one up today. They were having a special at Lowes, and I had a gift card. It has three legs, two in front, and one further back along a rail. The top rail holds two clamping jaws. They can open to about 24 inches I think. There is a foot peddle that you can use to close the jaws of the clamp.
The jaws extend beyond the legs so that you can hold items by their edge, vertically. The picture shows a door being held vertically in place while the hinges are positioned on the door jam. The claim is that clamping force is 2200 pounds. Looks pretty handy. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University. E-Mail: [email protected] Tel: (412) 268-9081
