If not for the slide holder, I prefer to use them on the incredible Olympus Telescoping Extension Tube. "twist, slide, twist" is so much faster and easier than the "twist, twist, twist, twist…" that you do with either a long helicoid or a bellows.

The Spiratone Rapid Rail Bellows has a similar feature. Fine adjustments are made with a typical rack and pinion, but press in on the focus wheel and you can slide to any position. Great feature... in a long extinct bellows that's sometimes cheap on eBay.
