I suppose it depends on what you are doing. Most places I've been have a big old rusty table that you can tack stuff too for one kind of work and some nice clean tables with the 1/16" TIG torches hanging on them for other kinds of work. and never the twain shall meet :-)
I got four of those things masonry and concrete guys put in the ends of pipes to hold up 4x's on forms. About 1 1/8" diameter shaft, 6x6 top plate, and hefty t screw handle. Mondo heavy with coarse threads that are almost impossible to clog. I got all mine at yard sales for a couple of bucks. Have no clue what retail is, but much more, I'm sure. Used them many times during installation of headers, and temporary jacking. About 2' long overall, but could be shortened. Slides right inside a 1 1/4" round tube. (est) Handy for a lot of things.

Found it.
$20, but shipping would kill you.
