Hi there I am from England,that looks remarkably like something we made to twist fence posts! Especially when driving timbers into the ground as you hit them they often twist. So by putting that on the top you could hit it while someone pulls the post round. We made a big one once to help twist...

Thank you for taking the time to look up the us patents, very much appreciated. It will probably be an Eastern European one. As I said before if it was a big brand then they would have put their name on it. It will be my main vice as it suits my little shed space, I have a record No5 but that's...

I know but like most unusual tools it's nice to get the history. I still need a good excuse to come on here ha ha. keep finding American tools over here which of coarse gives me more excuse to post them up to find out about them. I even have a small tape measure which happened to have my surname...

Hi all, I am a brit enjoying your forums and varied tools. Came here to see if my new vice was American? cannot find any info anywhere so probably nothing special apart from the round solid steel slider. a bit like the mini vices?. no markings apart from the patent No9368 and date 1905. a few...

can't seem to fit more than seven pictures on each post, last seven for now.swivel head bolt croppers.

Bolt croppers HK PORTER and RECORD. extra specially rare swivel head jaws on the porter 25". only set I have found and only one advert for sale on American ebay.

And some more.....

Now my blue period! stillson 24". Record vice No5.

ok here are a few more random pics. my cluttered bench,showing the mystery vice and two mini vices left of picture, and the next is with a record No5 in blue to compare. and my "HERO" hand crank grinder.

thanks but when I click the link it doesn't come up with the info? Here are a few more pictures with a lighter for scale. oh and might as well stick a few more piccies of other projects completed and waiting patiently for me.

Thank you both,it may not be American,it is a fair size vice and not a mini one,four inch jaws and just under five inch fully open. I have quite a few mini portable vices and yes the solid bar slider is a common feature with some having two, one above and one below the threaded screw. I suppose...

Still no joy, I have spent hours and hours looking through the"show us your vice" thread" nothing even close?�� I have just refurbished a record No 5 vice and a record 24" stillson, I find it hard to believe my vice is the only one on the planet? It is the round bar slide that...

Thank you for trying. I have tried variouse different country patents but being just four digits doesn't fit the normal formats? Even tried 93681905 as a single number. still no luck. I wondered if the 1905 was year of patent or year of manufacture? I just couldn't believe there are no other...

Hi all, I am in England and was directed here by a forum user on MIG-WELDING.co.uk. It's a similar site to yours. I have recently got hold of a vice and have been unable to find another one similar, the suggestion is it might be American? I have spent hours searching the net and the only similar...
