Dukey Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Hi, this is my first post on here and was wondering if someone could have a look at some photos of a leg vise I have just purchased and might be able to identify the maker. I understand that sometimes it is impossible to identify the manufacturer but any help or advice would be appreciated. The jaws are 6 inch wide approx and around 41 inch high, it's in pieces at the moment for a deep clean and lube up thank you all for any help you may be able to provide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 No idea about ID, but that’s a nice looking vise. Screw looks in great shape. Welcome aboard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Knowing where it was purchased can help ID things at times. If you bought a used car in Moscow PA it would be unlikely to be a Lada and if you bought it in Moscow Russia it would unlikely to be a Ford... Only thing possibly distinctive I could see was the screwbox; but I don't generally care who made my vise; just that it works well and so I haven't paid attention to variations in the screwboxes.

Hi, was purchased from Nottingham in the UK. I only ask as the history of old tools interest me. Helps to imagine where and what a tool might have been through in its life before it got to me. I'm perfectly fine in not knowing and I'm very happy with the vice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
