So this is just an alignment jig that needs to be C-clamped or bolted
down? Seems to me that the Army needs to train people on how to drill
out and tap a bolt. Seems like High School Shop class stuff to me.
Grind bolt flush - what if grinder is not able to get to bolt? Most
angle grinders need 6 inches clearance. Air grinders need less. Not
all bolts/studs are gonna be in the wide open to get C-clamps on them.
This 8 mintes HAS to assume that all tools are at the workbench.
At least with $8000 hammers they had multiple uses. This looks like it
will work in the few situations that will allow it to.
