PoacherID This "Multi Clamp"
A friend gave me this because he did not what it was or how to work, and I said I knew just the group to ask.
Anyone know what it is? Amd equally important, does anyone want it?

I can make use of it. I sold mine about 6 years ago, and have regretted doing so on more than one occasion when a portable vise would have saved a lot of labor.

maxdogIt’s a combination can opener and cat neutering device.

sjtillI have one, have rarely used it. Recently saw a video of a British woodworker, Peter Parfitt, who has a YouTube Channel “The New Brit Workshop”.
He considers them extremely useful for woodworking, but apparently hard to come by now.
Yes, I bought mine at a Cal Expo home show probably 30 years ago; it’s in fine shape and I look forward to using it now that I am finally getting a decent workshop in order.
BTW it’s cast aluminum, so it will actually buff out nicely.

m1009I swear, the knowledgeable folks here, always amaze me. I looked up the zyliss portable clamp, guess there is one on eBay for $50 right now. Plus shipping.
Had never heard of it before this post.

trapper189And I was going to guess it was a Rubiks Clamp.

SPSHOOTERWOW. I forgot I have one. I was in upstate NY in the Navy back in 1976. Went to the state fair and bought the entire kit. I still have in the box. Pretty handy and have used about a dozen times.
