Reed 2C Vise -- local pickup only. No shipping. Previously cleaned up and painted. Split washer has been welded -- I guess somebody thought they would "fix" it not knowing it was not broken. Slide sadly abused but not cracked as image shows. Otherwise, decent shape. Also selling a Reed 3C, 3...

Local SF Bay Area pick up only. See link below for images. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/the-vintage-toolboxes-of-garage-journal.49743/page-254#post-7580969

Too bad the rest of the box isn't in the same shape as the trays. I'm not restoring so off to the classifieds.

No saw. I have no idea if it's complete. Minor rust. The saw guides and miter move freely. I thought is was a Langdon but was corrected in the Millers Falls thread. I prefer to trade for Craftsman long C combination wrenches. I already have 1/2, 5/8 and 11/16. Also looking for a Circle U and BE...

My quick look notes this as a Langdon -- I've been corrected, an Economy. It's in decent shape. No saw and no need so I'll put it in the classifieds. Oops, my bad. I corrected in the classifies.

Dual marked. One little, one big. Little in very fine shape. Big marginal. Don't need them; trade for Cman long c combos (already have 1/2, 5/8, 11/16).

These have no ID number but look like one of the NY telco cutters in post #22 in this thread. I haven't found any explanation for the matching grooves on the outer edges or for the single groove below the cutters. d42jeep's post #10 also shows the outer edge grooves. Apologies if I missed the...

This 4" Wilton 400 is usable in its repaired state. It's otherwise in decent shape; the jaws are quite nice. It's on a DIY swivel base. I prefer a local pickup. If shipped, you pay whatever it costs me via UPS (I can't fit it in a USPS flat rate box).

Left one, small diagonal cutter, Snap On Middle one only has a diamond symbol-type marking. I have no idea of the manufacturer but I'm including as it has vacuum grips. Right is Forged Steel. $40 shipped

I'm hoping to trade this vise for Craftsman Long C combination wrenches (I have 1/2, 5/8 and 11/16) and/or 3/8" drive Circle U sockets. It's in decent shape with some abuse on the dynamic jaw (I didn't do it). The pipe jaws appear to be a bonus as I do not see them in search result images.

This was my first vise many many years ago, 5176. It's been sitting since I caught the vise vice virus via many carriers in GJ and replaced it a Reed. It may be more of a collectable though is quite serviceable as a small vise. I'll put this in the classifieds for trade. I am looking for Long C...

I posted my Emmerts in July and have been wanting to make the missing "dogs" (as I'm calling them) that go on the pegs. I happened to have a hunk of 1" thick steel. I made a wooden prototype that seemed fine. I had to buy a 1 1/4" drill bit after ditching the idea of a torch cut. On eBay I found...

Starrett items: No. 436 1-2" Micrometer (owner's marks) No. 185 Drill & Wire Gauge Both $45 shipped

Eureka, I found it! But after I took out the spindle, a minor adventure ensued. As you know (but I didn't) the spindle has a detent where the set screw seats and the set screw's collar behaved like there is a springy thingy in there. Anyway, it took a bit of "fun" to get it back from whence it...

I see from previous older posts that others are on the look out for this type of Emmert. My vise vice has been cured but this was an exception. I may be dumb but I'm not stupid. For the foreseeable future I'm going to ponder what to do .... as in look for a proper stand ... But even then, I'm...
