Don't have one. Don't need one. But that is a clever idea.

ACME is having a fathers day sale, though some of their items, while innovative, are overpriced.

I have seen toilet seats attached to receiver hitch tow bars as well. I thought that was equally creative and possibly even more useful depending on the circumstances.

My WorkShop Hitch (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?215979-Finally-finished-my-2-quot-Shop-Receiver-Install) used for a vise and a host of other jobs.

Wilton used to be the best vise made. Then they went to china, and became vise shaped objects. Sad. I've seen people happily pay $1000 plus for a US made wilton, and not touch one of the chinese made ones. You'd think they could have figured out how to at least keep some of the line made here.

A few years back I went to a Vietnamese restaurant that listed such entries as "Noodles with meat". I chose not to find out what "meat" was.
I suppose metal is the same.

Actually the better Wilton vises are still made here. You will pay for them but if you need a quality vise they are still available. They have a low end line and then their good ones.

They HAVE kept "some of the line" here. Wilton has 40 US made vises. 24 Wilton Bullets, and 16 Columbians.

Hey, I just learned something! Maybe I ought to be faulting the retailer I use and myself for not seeing USA Wiltons... Either way, thats great! A US made Wilton is a superb tool.
