Hopefully you didn't pay too much, I see the slide support is gone too

I believe they were private labeled by Charles Parker. At least the style like yours. It's probably not a coincidence they use the same number.

I knew something was funky with the wrench. It's a Sargent...look for stamping on the front of the dynamic jaw.

The swivel lock handle isn't original, but otherwise looks very nice.

I have a newer Heyco Germany 21/32 socket. Occasionally run into some Chinese hardware that's supposed to be 11/16. 17mm fits but is sloppy. If you throw a pair of calipers on it, it's .656" which is exactly 21/32.

That's a Prentiss. not a morgan or reed.

Looks like Iron City

There's a reason why so many broke...kind of a design flaw...they work fine until the vise gets rusty, or the slide gets mushroomed or cracked. People crank on them too hard trying to get them unstuck, and it's just a thin casting that breaks easily.

Saw this on FB, thought it was fake, then saw it on O'Reillys website: https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/tank-tough/tank-tough-3-ton-floor-jack/tnk0/tt20231 Searched here and didn't see it mentioned. Anyone have one yet?

Buy another one for donor jaws. This style craftsman is one of the most common vises out there.

Model 204-1/2, not 402-1/2

It's missing the pipe jaws, I would pass. Also, looks like the slide support is gone under the dynamic jaw. Definitely pass.

The chart is a little wonky, but 406 lbs for the swivel base version?!?! That is one heck of a swivel base...136 lbs by itself!!!

Because it was local pick up only, if it was just the vise and they shipped, it would have gone over 400. Sometimes people just don't want money lol.
