Us middle class people that couldn't afford the fancy gadgets for our c clamps used hot pads from the kitchen to do the same thing.

We, in the working class, take pride in doing the job right and always having the right tool available for the job.

No matter the cost? Seems like you could have just bought a smart phone...

The cost isn't a deterrent to me having a smartphone. I just don't need one. I'd never use it. Carrying one around, you may as well have "Middle Class" stamped right across your forehead.

I get far more use from my C clamps than I would ever get from a smartphone. And a C clamp doesn't need a ap.

I keep my smartphone in my pocket when I'm not using it, so it's not "open-carry".

Tool for easily measuring the diameter of drillbits.

Yes, it's a Drill Gauge. But it can be used for more than just measuring drills. If I need to drill a hole for a screw, I can try the screw until I find the best size to fit.

Certainly a multi-use tool. You could also use it to measure the size of the holes in your swiss cheese. Guinness may have also used it on Mike Carson.

Could also use it as a circle template!! Remember those?

Yes, and I've used it for that.

I'd say a knife sharpener

A wrench?
