Re: What is this?
QC - Thanks for moving it, I wondered if it was a technical question or not.
rbh - no soft pad on top
2 Eagles - Did you mean huff stand. I have seen those but most of them have a curve top to rest the huff in.
On this one if you push the lever down the top part opens up so you can hold something (horseshoe) in it. It has a lot of tension, but is not as strong as a vise. The clamp area has rubber pads.
