Is this solving a real problem? I mean, it's neat, and I'm a gadget guy, but wow. I'd have to have a hell of a lot of strut to hang to consider that. Can't say that I've ever had some all-thread and nuts kick my ass.

We actually have some tray runs that are 5 layers deep. We've set up our shop to do a lot of pre-fab and are just looking for faster ways to do things. Right now we have a JW, an apprentice, and a material handler pre-fabbing. I'll get some pics of the shop and some of the stuff they're building.

Saw them in the supply house once, never used them though.

EDIT: I actually think these were the ones I saw:

I thought this was going to be a thread about that one guy who always hangs around the office for an awkward amount of time, chatting up the boss.

I might buy one just because of the name.

I have used those and they worked great.

Anyone ever used these? They always look really attractive, but I'd be awful spooked about putting any sort of weight on them:

There are several brands of those split locknuts and split square washers. I got a free box from a caddy rep and used them. They sure were nice. Although I never checked the price, I'm just felt in my gut they were probably too expensive to be worthwhile. Hard to say. Guess it depends on how important it is to you. I use the outside of my drill chuck to spin regular locknuts down long allthread, so it's not that bad to do it the traditional way, for me.
