    Vise from my local CL

    http://bn.craigslist.org/tls/3556944355.html

    Found this on CL last night - it is an old quick action 10" Craftsman Vice - $35. Picked it up this evening. Works perfectly, no cracks or welds, the dog works perfect, and only a tad bit of surface rust. The mahogany jaw pad speaks that the vise was well used.loved. Its about to get cleaned up and put back into service for another few years.





    Glad its my shop I am responsible for - I only have to make me happy.

    Very good price! I think I have one of those somewhere.

    That front jaw looks like oak.

    Be sure to post AFTER pictures too.

    Wow...that vise is substantial. I don't even have a bench to put it on, but I would've bought it for that in a second.

    Wow. I think that's the exact vise my Dad had. Thanks for the memories.

    It would get money out of my pocket in less than a heart beat.
