• a plurality of slots, the plurality of slots including the elongate slot and a perpendicular slot, the perpendicular slot extending from the top edge surface to the bottom edge surface and shaped to receive a straight edge tool;
• one or more spirit vials in the body above the elongate slot, each of the one or more spirit vials may be parallel or at an angle to the elongate slot to additionally form a leveling tool for aligning various objects at various angles;
• wherein each spirit vial can be viewed from both sides of the body;
• magnets provided on the top edge surface, centered along the V groove for use with a ferromagnetic object;
• a plurality of threaded mounting holes at both sides surface of the body at the elongate slot, the mounting holes extending through the body to the opposing side surface of the body;
• wherein one mounting hole of the plurality of mounting holes is provided at the perpendicular slot;
• wherein the mounting holes are for use with mounting screws for securing and/or positioning a hand tool inserted in any of the plurality of slots;
• a plurality of mounting screws for use with the plurality of mounting holes;
• and
• wherein a hand clamp can be used at the clamping aid body to secure the tool assembly when aligning and/or securing a flat or round object that abuts a corresponding bottom or top edge surface of the clamping aid body.

A multi-tool comprising:

• at least two clamping aid bodies, each body having:
• side surfaces,
• end surfaces,
• a top edge surface,
• a bottom edge surface opposed to the top edge surface,
• a pivot bore and
• at least one elongate slot for mounting to a hand tool;
• wherein, in each of the at least two bodies:
• one end surface is round and an opposing end surface is flat;
• the top edge surface is generally flat;
• the bottom edge surface is generally flat;
• the elongate slot extends the full length of the clamping aid body, and shaped to receive a hand tool;
• wherein the hand tool received in each clamping aid body is one selected from a group comprising ‘L’ squares, straight edges, straight edge rulers, or the like, to form various tools uses, such as a clamping aid jig, or depth gauge tool etc;
• wherein each pivot bore extends through a respective one of the bodies;
• wherein each pivot bore is provided at the rounded end of a respective one of the bodies;
• and above the elongate slot;
• a securing device included with each body for securing a hand tool inserted each elongate slot;
• a mounting hardware including a connecting screw and a locking nut, the connecting screw having a head, a shank (body), and a threaded portion, the mounting hardware for pivotally connecting the two bodies through the two pivot bores to additionally form an angle finder;
• wherein one or both bodies of the angle finder can be used in combination with a straight edge in each elongate slot to form a variable and extendable angle finder or depth gauge tool;
• wherein the extendable depth gauge tool is formed when the angle finder is folded or rotated to a closed position, with the two flat end surfaces of each body parallel with each other;
• wherein the mounting hardware can easily be removed for separating the two connected bodies of the angle finder;
• and
• wherein a hand clamp can be used at each clamping aid body to secure the tool assembly when aligning and/or securing a flat or round object that abuts a corresponding bottom or top edge surface of each clamping aid body.

A multi-tool comprising:

• at least two clamping aid bodies, each body having:
• side surfaces,
• end surfaces,
• a top edge surface,
• a bottom edge surface opposed to the top edge surface,
• a pivot bore, and
• at least one elongate slot for mounting to a hand tool;
• wherein in each clamping aid body;
• one end surface is round and the opposing end is flat;
• the top edge surface has a ‘V’ groove extending the length of the body and configured to align a round object;
• the bottom edge surface is generally flat;
• the elongate slot extending the full length of the body,
• and shaped to receive a hand tool;
• wherein the hand tool is one selected from a group comprising various ‘L’ squares, straight edges, rulers, or the like, to form various tools, such as a clamping aid jig, or depth gauge tool;
• each pivot bore extending through a respective one of the bodies, each pivot bore provided at one end of a respective one of the bodies and above the elongate slot;
• a securing device included with each body for securing a hand tool inserted in the elongate slot of each body;
• a mounting hardware including at least a connecting screw and a locking nut, the connecting screw having a head, a shank (body), and a threaded portion, the mounting hardware for pivotally connecting the two bodies through the two pivot bores;
• and
• wherein the mounting hardware can be connected to the two bodies to form an angle finder tool or a variable and extendable angle finder or extendable depth gauge tool when a straight edge is inserted in the elongate slot of either one or both bodies;
• wherein the mounting hardware can be removed for separating two connected bodies of a formed angle finder for different tool uses, such as a clamping aid jig for clamping a carpenter square, framing square, straight edge or the like, when aligning various objects;
• and
• wherein a hand clamp can be used at each clamping aid body to secure the tool assembly when aligning and/or securing a flat or round object that abuts a corresponding bottom or top edge surface of each clamping aid body.
