New Never-Twist clamps

Looks good but I think it would be more comfortable tightening it with round caps instead of square ones.
Tom - Great idea. I made a prototype using hex bar, but that seemed too fancy. I may knock this apart and try the round bar stock I have here - somewhere...
 
Apart from making and fitting the pads, the second clamp is done. I may replace the square brass at the end of the handles as suggested by Tom. But first, the pads. I can now choose between copper, brass, aluminum and bronze - after an expensive shopping experience. I like the look of bronze, but something I read suggests it might be too slippery for pads? Any ideas? Anyhow - here are more images of the clamp fully assembled with no pads. I took some close-ups for those of you who are curious.
