I am not sure what you want to share. If I click on the link, I get a selection of videos for different tail vices. They all are to wind. Is there a specific video you are referring to?

That's the page I was first taken to too, however after a few seconds it resolved itself to a vid with a bloke using linear actuators to operate his vice(s)

Yet another YouTube "expert".

Butt jointed plantation white pine framing on a work bench ? Robust ? Not much credibility.

I actually tighten a vise by feel - feel of the handle. Doubt if a button could replicate this.

What is the point of a "secret vise"? This is about woodwork and ease of working. It is too silly for words. Click bait.

I think he’s missed the opportunity to really impress a woody by not making an automatic stubby opener for the bench from that actuator 😁. And to be a complete snob, I’m not impressed when someone uses a hand plane as a hatchet or adze 😉😁

Well, whatever floats your boat!

As Graeme says, a screw vise may be boringly ancient, but it gives you the feedback you need to tighten a vise appropriately for whatever it is you are holding and there can be much variation in required pressures during a typical day in my shed!

I guess you can set the mechanical device to different cutoff pressures, but you'd be constantly fiddling with it unless you only ever use a single clamping pressure (unlikely!). Yeah, nah, as Derek says, a pretty silly idea.....

Cheers,
