MFT and new Leigh Clamps

[Notorious T.O.D.]

Just wondering if anyone else has tried the new Leigh bench clamps with the MFT. I got a couple of the clamps and they work great with the holes in the MFT and can clamp items up to 3 inches thick.  These clamps were originally designed and used with the Leigh MFT and are now being offered separately for $50 each.  At first this seems pricey but once you look a little further they are not out of line with some of the other clamps for the MFT and can be used on benches, with "T" tracks and with holes...as there are 2 types of mounting.  Just another nice and useful clamp that can have a variety of uses in the workshop and within the Festool system.  I guess the only thing that is missing is clamp handle should be moulded in Festool green...lol

Best,
Todd

I saw them the other day and started to pick up a couple.
