I had never read this thread before now.... Kinda funny.
Every. Single. Bridge., on every guitar I have built or repaired has been held down by three old wood cam clamps. Yet someone here said he regrets buying them...
I also never pass-up a Dremel at a yard/estate sale. Yeah, they're under-powered, but chuck a specialized stone or bit in one, and leave it there. Saves time, immensely saves time. Just grab the tool, do the task, and move-on.... They're not routers; they're everything else.
