Crunch Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Does $100 look like a decent price for this vise to you? I'm not sure what they typically sell for. It's probably 40 miles away... Seller says it has 5" jaw and is 40" long and in good condition. Thanks in advance for any opinions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbruce Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 If I needed that vice I would pop for $100, Go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 It is complete, and other than the bent handle looks like it is in good shape. The screw and screw box should have good threads for that price. Go look at it, run the screw out and look. If it is good buy it and be happy. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmall Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 That's the one in Maryland. I'd get it if I was closer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 As Phil said---if the screw and screwbox are good then it's an acceptable price for that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crunch Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Thank you fellas. Will let you know if I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crunch Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 Well, I went and bought the vise. The screw looked good; I think it has an Acme thread and looks to be in very good shape. The "screwbox" looks to be essentially a round threaded pipe. I couldn't see inside it very well, but I can't see any cracks on the sides of it. This morning, I pulled the screw all the way out of the screwbox and gave it a good coating of Molykote (molybdenum disulfide paste). I can't wait to use it! Thanks again for for all of your advice.
