IRWIN QUICK-GRIP Bar Clamp Hold-Down Jig

First time post, so forgive me if I don't do this right but found some IRWIN clamp accessories on a really good sale when in Lowe's yesterday and today. This item shows $8.98 online but in store they were $1.79.

Yah, the stand looks interesting and I do have these clamps. I'll have a look when I'm at Lowe's next but maybe not go out of my way for it.
Thanks for sharing, OP!
The circular hole is called a dog hole on a workbench. I don't think the idea is to randomly put a hole in your bench but rather place these where they'd be most convenient on your workbench.
I don't know how much I'll use either of the items but as I've been getting into woodworking and have some clamps so far. Looking at them, I'm thinking they may work with other clamps also as the clamps I own (Irwin and Dewalt appear to both work with them). I just saw them for that cheap and thought what the heck, I'll drop a few dollars for them.

Also, regarding you thinking you don't have the same holes... dog holes in the US are universally 3/4 inch. They are 20mm in Europe.
I have 6 of the Irwin clamps (6" to 12" versions), but I use the Harbor Freight version (the blue and orange ones) for all my clamping needs that require longer clamps. And all the Irwin accessories fit those.
Perfect timing as well. I'm at the stage on my new workbench where I'm adding my dogs, and I can now create 1" dogs around the outside so I can mount these.
Irwin makes low cost, good stuff, but they charge wayyyyy too much for larger, and heavy duty clamps.
If you did a lot of woodworking, you would understand.
I have 1 functioning arm. As such, it means I have, and use, clamps out the keister!
I'm not sure your background, but every shop should have a good amount of clamps. You might not understand it, but once you have them, you will never be able to function without them. And a heavy duty benchdog style clamping system like this (that can spin 360° is magical).

All bench systems that have any clamping or bench dog system require holes to be drilled in a bench top. That has been a practice that dates back a thousands of years. Benchtops are made to be worked on. It's not some sin to drill a hole in a benchtop it is how they are made useful.
If you do decide to drill a hole in your bench to use a holdfast that must be purchased they will set you back $20 and up. For those that own some Irwin clamps already they only have a $1.79 outlay to get some great clamping functionality.
If you do decide to drill a hole in your bench for a hodfast you better make sure that it is a bench top of at least 2" thick and for traditional bench dogs that better be 2" of hardwood as softwood tops have a tendency for the holes to wear and oblong quickly when using bench dogs which makes the hole you drilled useless. Benchdogs will also have some trouble in thicker tops and modification to the underside of the top may be in order. The cost of a 2" thick hardwood benchtop is prohibitive to many and for a $1.79 the Irwin jig can save thousands in cash and countless hours of work and offer a simple and effective bench top clamping system. Not sure but it also appears to me that the Irwin system fits a standard bench dog hole which makes for more clamping options when a holdfast may not be ideal
This jig could work on something as simple as a piece of 3/4" plywood. That may be pushing it for attachment but thicker block of hardwood attached on the underside would give more strength to the system and you could basically slap the clamp on just about any piece of wood or bench top of any thickness. It could even be used in the field or on a temporary work surface.
I can think of hundreds of uses for the thing. Options for use for this thing are almost unlimited. Fire, cars and computers didn't really need to exist but I find them very useful. Take the below to heart and it can expand your horizons.
