Along with my recent anvil acquisitions, I picked up two leg vices. One heavier, one lighter, both about 5" jaws. The screws and boxes are in good shape, but the springs don't open the jaws.
Luckily, they have all the mounting pieces. The larger vice has a clover shaped mounting plate, while the smaller one has a V shaped strap. Any idea on the makers? I didn't see any markings.
Should the springs open the jaws when the screw is turned out? I could bend the spring a little to give it more travel.
