I was having trouble sandwiching 3 Adel clamps together. So I came up with this gizmo. Unfortunately, my 'cool_inventor_status' didn't last long, I showed the idea to an IA friend, who's comment was "very nice!..that's a cheaper way rather than buying the real deal". Oh well, at least I saved a little money and a bunch of wait time...sure enough, there they were on ACShttp://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/installatinoPliers.php
For those who don't know yet: You will be using Adel clamps on your airplane. When trying to cluster 2 or 3 together, you invariably end up gouging yourself or your nice new purdy paint. This gizmo resolves those issues. I used a sacrificial pair of $5 welding vice grips because they were spare. Now I know they work I will make me a narrow vice grip deal.
