Default what became of Record becnch vises?

Hi,

No one seems to sell Record bench vises anymore. I googled "record
vise" and got a lot of threads. I saw some mail about getting
close-outs. Did Record discontinue their bench vises? If so, does
anyone have recommendations for a substitute for a 53E?

Look under woodworking, special buys if the link breaks. IIRC the company
was bought out, Rubbermaid comes to mind, and quit making them.

Rubbermaid, Record (destroyed), Nooitgedagt tools in Holland (destroyed), all part of the Irwin tools beast.

I checked two Toronto local retailers and both say that Record is not
making the "quick release" woodworking vises anymore. Lee Valley still
sells their "permanent vise" which does not have the quick release feature.

All this has to do with Record's new owners of course...

I bought this one (watch the wrap), and have been happy with it.

Anybody know a shop in the Toronto area (or mail-order for Canada) that
carries this Groz quick-release vise?
