field work..or on the bench....pretty damned good

For the price of a Wilton Vise I'ld hesitate to accidentally nudge one with
a tack hammer. LOL.

Waste of money and Wilton vices suck.

Now here is a nice vice:

It makes my back hurt, just looking at it. I don't bend down that far
anymore.

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.

These are actually pretty good.

You can get them on Amazon for $160 or so.

So bolt the bench adapter to the inside of your tailgate. You can buy
seperate flat surface mounting brackets. It comes with one so you can
use it on your bench and then take it out to the truck and mount it.

I'll bet. It looks like it'd be very handy in the field, too.

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.

Nice setup, but I'd rather weld up something to mount one of these:

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
