I wondered what everyone thought on using the connection device that Mankin sells to teach connection to contact (hitting a heavy bag) and also using the power drive brace for the full swing?

I can see some value in the connection device, but would limit the amount of swings. While I believe that the contact position you attain through the connection device is good, I also believe that the arms are in the process of extending through contact in a real swing. This device doesn't allow that. So, you could develop a swing that never extends which means you would be leaving the hitting zone too early.

Do you feel that the power drive brace allows for extension and is a useful tool?

I don't think this product makes sense.
It keeps the front elbow too close to the body.

Lots of people want the front elbow down, to prevent chicken winging, but I think that's a bad idea.

Yeager teaches the importance of having the lead upper arm ride the chest.

FFS, do you believe what Yeager says here? Or are you just regurgitating someone else's information...
