I don't bend down that far anymore. Karl I had a large vise on a hitch mount that I traded away because it was so inconvenient. Now I cobble up a mount for an old blacksmith's leg vise to work outdoors. It supports the work at a better height and can be braced to hold bulky three-dimensional objects like a mower deck. |

It comes with one so you can use it on your bench and then take it out to the truck and mount it. -- "Living in the United States now is like being a Tampon.

It looks like it'd be very handy in the field, too. Id NOT be slamming on em with a big sledge hammer..but for normal field work..or on the bench....pretty damned good Sledge? I'd hope not. g A #1 ball peen or #3 drilling hammah would be my 2nd/3rd most common tool with it, with a saw being the most common. I lost a nice ryoba a couple months ago after cutting a closet rod and forgetting that it was sitting on the dropped tailgate. -- Liberalism is the result of severe pathogens in our society. |

Its far too nice for that I'd use the fabricated vise for portable work, but the Super Grade ductile iron for shop. Except... I've got a massive Starrett 6" bench vise with the pivoting back jaw, forget the model number. It's in storage back there. Also have a 4" Cardinal bench vise with the quick release screw. Never knew they made one until I found this one at an estate sale. Didn't really need another vise, but spotted the slot allowing the screw to lift off the half nut and realized what it was. Asked price, $20, that was a no brainer! After paying the guy, I commented on the unusual feature. He sighed, and said he sold it cheap because he thought it was worn out. Glad I didn't point out that feature until after it was paid for... G Jon |
