>>I apologize that this is OT, but I know someone in this group will know the
>>answer.  Does anyone know what those hobbyist grip tools are called?  I've
>>seen them before but I have no clue what the name of the device is.  It's a
>>device that clamps to a desk or something, and it has a bunch of alligator
>>style clamps on it to hold things in place while you work on a circuit or
>>something.  I've searched google and the digikey catalog but can't find it
>>anywhere.  Can anyone provide any direction?

If you're local, try RadioShack.com on Buford Hwy.  I've seen this thing
there.  In the regular RadioShack catalog, they have them also, under
-Workbench Helpers-.   As for the name, I have no idea.
