A vise in the kitchen?

This was one of the first paths that we explored: how to clamp objects in the kitchen. One of our favorite stories was using a vise out in the garage to open a wine bottle. Why do you have to go all the way out to the garage we wondered? Why can't you open a wine bottle in the kitchen? There are a lot of other objects that you might want to hold in a vise, jars for instance...

But upon further research we found a lot of products that did precisely that. So we used our budget to buy them for some of our users to try out. They should be here soon so if you're interested in trying them out let us know!
For holding jars: http://www.rehabmart.com/product/700.htm
Or for just opening jars with a single motion: http://www.dynamic-living.com/jaropener2.htm
And then there was general opening of things (we want to save those pearly whites!) http://www.americaninventorspot.com/open_it
Or opening specific things like medicine bottles: http://www.activeforever.com/ps-817-10-purrfect-opener.aspx
And then we thought back to cutting boards (our original concept that a few of you tried out for us.)
The Swedish cutting board that holds your zucchini while slicing and has spikes for your apple: http://www.rehabmart.com/product/699.htm we thought this looked a little dangerous...
And finally holding any little object like the Clamp-It: http://www.dynamic-living.com/clamp_it.htm
Please feel free to give us feedback and reviews on any of these or similar products.
