Rockler does a good job of making simple solutions to common problems. One of these common problems comes with using bar clamps. It takes time to release these clamps once you have them completely tightened, and Rockler has a way to speed things up. Sure it only takes a few seconds, but those seconds seem like forever when you are in a hurry to move on to the next project.

The EZ-Clutch delivers quick, effortless release of tail stock and eliminates sticky clutch plates on your standard 3700 style bar clamps.

• Dramatically increases your leverage so bar clamp releases with ease.
• Retrofits in seconds!
• Rubberized handle for comfort.
• Hardened steel body for durability.
• Patent pending

Available at Rockler.com for $2.49

Since Bosch, Dremel, Rockwell, and and few other no name brands started making oscillating tools, do you think it has had an impact on Fein? If so, what should Fein do to stay competitive?

If it wasn't bad enough that everybody and their mother is now making an oscillating tool of some kind or another. Now that they have become affordable to the average user, everybody and their mother wants to own one. Not only that, but Rockwell has gone one step further and is trying to win in Fein's own territory, infomercials.

Head on over to Amazon and you can see a list of their top 100 bestsellers in any category (updated hourly). From the top 100 Power Tools Category, the Rockwell SoniCrafter is #3 and #5 with 2 different kits, and the Fein MultiMaster is #10. Further down the list another Rockwell SoniCrafter is listed #60 the Bosch Max Multi-X is #82 and the Dremel Multi-Max #83. So Fein is going up against 5 other tools just in the top 100 alone, which also means they are all selling very well. With two of the Rockwell kits out selling the Fein MultiMaster. This doesn't mean that everyone buying the other brands would have bought the Fein if they didn't exist, but you know a number of them probably would have.
