Rhettbarnhart Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Good things come to those who wait!!This will be my 5th vise so far....I went to an auction today and was pretty sad when I was outbid on a smith and Wesson .357.Everything went high all day(used stuff for new price)finally at the end of the day when most people had left this vise came up I was the only one to bid and got this little jewel for 20$!The vise is made by the American scale company and has 3in jaws at 40lbs btw the vise is sitting beside a 8lb Wilton BASH sledge hammer for size comparison. I forgot to mention that it needs new jaws which I will make next week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSW Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Nice. I never pass up a good vice at a decent price. I think I'm up close to a dozen right now even if I only use 3 or 4 at most. The others are all trade stock for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was recently given the exact vise but mine is in tougher shape. It only came with one jaw, the dynamic is cracked on the far side down the center about 3" and the area that holds the jaw is chipped. I like a challenge so I will be bringing it back to life for light duty use. The body and handle on these sure seem heavy duty for no bigger than the jaws are. I wonder if they didn't use the same parts on larger models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
