Questions about this tool

Why choose star knobs over wing nuts?

Compare how you grip them. Star knobs give several finger positions while a wing nut offers two small tabs.

Can I use it while applying spine adhesive?

The listing describes spine work and glue setting. Confirm the finish and protective materials you plan to use.

Does it hold a book upright at the bench edge?

Compare the Cinch if you need a documented upright mounting position.
