Reader's Choice: Al Cruz's V-Line Clamp

Toologics reader Al Cruz recently sent us some info about a cool tool that he invented himself called the V-Line Clamp. The V-Line Clamp is designed to make chalk lining super-easy; rather than having to pound in a nail, use two people or sprawl across a surface to get a line set up, you simply stick the V-Line Clamp on an edge, hook the end of your chalk line in it and then make your line! The V-Line Clamp also has another feature that I think is really nifty: there's a little notch in it that will hold the end of your tape measure for you, freeing you up to make long measurements single-handedly.
