Corner Minders for Mini Stretcher Bars

There is a new tool to help keep your stretcher bars square--Corner Minders.  They clip onto the back side of your stretcher bars once you have them assembled and keep them square.  Looks like they fit the mini stretcher bars only as I write this.  Keep them away from heat as they are 3-D printed and excessive temperatures will effect the material they are made of.
