[RE-wrenches] Attaching Array To or Through Ply

[Christopher Warfel]

Quickbolt makes a similar product to the nano. I've used it several 
times. The last time when I was trying to attach to oak beam and had no 
experience with how difficult that was.  They work well, but no greater 
than 36" spacing.
