Older clamps by HF also had removal ends but with screws/nuts and not the new method . They are all generally reversible for spread clamping. Never thought about using them on my ancient Workmate clamping bench except for an edge clamp. Now I can use the dog holes on my Workmate thanks to your video! Well done!
Don't know about yours but my Irwins have a fiddly screw thing you have to unscrew to take it off. Not a big deal in normal situations, but a bit more of a hassle when reaching under my bench. I like the sound of the push button feature.
@@BillCoale I just replaced the screw with a M4 thumb screw approx. 12mm long since I swap them from clamp to spreader a lot. Just make sure to lock the nut in place with a dab of epoxy or it will fall out and you will never find it.
That is not a torsion box workbench, it is a Paulk Smart Bench, and the top is only 3/4" thick whereas a torsion box top is much thicker as it is two layers with a kind of honeycomb web in between them for extra strength and to keep the top dead flat. Here is a link to the build video for the Paulk bench. ua-cam.com/video/Bt77_jugVZs/v-deo.html
Richard is correct. I ordered the Ron Paulk plans (only 10 bucks) then put them in a drawer and built them with completely different dimensions. I plan to add banks of drawers in the bottom.

Thanks for sharing this great idea. I was going to make a T track workbench, but dog holes seem way cheaper, easier and faster to make.
Your shop is gorgeous
Thanks!

Gonna have to pick one of those up. Cant have too many clamps
Cool tip. I need some dog holes
My Dewalt and Irwin clamps that I already have can do the exact same thing. As for the color, Spray Paint works great.

I just might do that😂

Great, so we all need a torsion box for this to be useful. Unfortunately it’s not very useful.
