Which Holdfast from Veritas should I get?

[Julie Moriarty]

I bought two different hold fasts from Woodcraft, one a cheap whack-it-with-a-hammer version, that never worked and this:

This one works great! I will probably be buying a second, but probably not at Woodcraft. I now live in a land with no local Woodcraft.

And with the savings get a wonder dog from Lee Valley.

I did exactly that.

On a deadman, I would take the duck because it's a one-handed operation.
