I thought about the Quad-screw moniker, but didn't want to confuse the issue LOL I actually played around with unscrewing one of the handles on each vice and screwing onto the same side as the other handle so that both faced forward. This made the vice a little bit faster to work with in this configuration, but made it nearly impossible to use as a regular handscrew. The gain in speed in the vice setting was not great enough to warrant the complete loss of speed when it is doing handscrew duty. Hey Torch02, thanks for commenting.
