Hell, I don't know.

It seems almost like people collect them. Over on Garage Journal there is a whole thread like a million pages long about vises. People get a real ******* finding ones from he 50's LOL

I looked on Craigslist daily and tried to find something cheap, but people were wanting 300.00 from rusted vises form the 50-70s. I said screw it and bought this one.

People collect all kinds of weird shit. I know of this one guy that collects lanterns... freakin' LANTERNS!

I guess so. This thing should last me forever though. Actually that us why so many of the old companies went bankrupt. Once you buy a vise I mean you just have it. It doesn't really go anywhere or get worn out technically.


I also been working on filling the missing sockets I had. Got my drawer near done.

Bought a lot of stuff made in USA and Taiwan. Brands like Stanley Proto, Williams, DeWalt, Gear Wrench. All this is in addition to the USA Craftsman I have form like 20 years ago....

New husky craftsman and kobalt is near total CRAP. Near all of it is made in China to some really bad specs.

Some new Craftsman wrenches have earned the name lobster claw.

I got this one and it is forged steel, I could have gone with cast iron Wilton but it was a little smaller for the same money.

I didn't even think about the forged-versus-cast aspect. I have a 5" Wilton I got when a previous employer went out of business. It's cast, but it was free and clamps stuff just fine which is all I wanted it for. Forged iron is way better. In fact, I don't think mine has an anvil, and it shouldn't.

Free is always great. Iwon't beat on mine either. Even though it has one lol.
