Killing 2 birds with one stone here.
Repco have got lots of clutch slave cylinders in their clearance items
for $6 or less...

Robin might be able to use them in a design (with appropriate leverage)
that doesn't nut him when closed.
The rest of you - I could think of a few applications for them such as
bed leveling.
You can put 2 of them to use in a closed hydraulic circuit that keeps
something level as it is moved around - that's how the bucket in a
bucket truck stays level as the boom is moved up and down.
If you look at a bucket truck there's a BIG hydraulic cylinder that
lifts the boom, but there's a smaller cylinder sitting there near it -
that's the bottom leveler. The top leveler is hidden inside the top of
the boom.
