That is true and then I don’t need to crank down the swivel this way it’s just solid in place. Either or I’m loving it and for the price couldn’t beat it!

Thank you I agree - I do like it a lot so far. I was looking for a 205r but this popped up and for the price I couldn’t say no!

100% I have loved my 1c and am now loving this one even more for the room. The quality is just crazy. Over 100 years old and there is 0 slop in the slide or handle.

Tried to upload a video of it cycling but couldn’t figure it out

I’ve been on the search for a nice vise that was 5 inches or larger for a bit now. I searched Facebook and had to drive a while but I picked up this 5 inch reed 105 for $70. I’m very happy with the price especially with the condition it was in. I decided to strip it all the way down to bare...

I’m out of NW Indiana so about 1.5-2 hours north of Indy

I actually have seen that one I think it’s post ww2 with the cylinder not meatball right?

Ah I wonder the shipping on that though haha

Let me know on the width ! Looks pretty nice. What are you asking / general location or I can message

Hey all I’m looking for a vise for my bench ideally larger than 4.5 inch. I’d love a reed I’m out of Indiana and willing to drive for the right vise. Don’t need / want anything perfect as I will Be using the vise. Also don’t want anything that is broke or welded etc. Thanks for the help!

Thank you for the actual feedback! I did decide to pass on both. I just don’t like the idea of buying something painted to just have it crack on me or something when I’m using it

hope you had a nice Christmas and a better new year with a better outlook on people than quick judgement and baseless claims

It’s main purpose is for my bench but I don’t think it’s crazy to always try to invest in something that it you ever want to trade or change you don’t lose money? I have 4 other vises at home that I’ve done all the same with. Just was looking for advice as I only have old reeds and craftsman.

I saw the paint and told the guy I never buy a painted vise. But for the price it’s making thinking twice. I’ve just never heard of the Parker no.DD and I can’t really find anything like it. I saw it on an old brochure from them but I’m not sure what a decent price would be / what it’s worth...

Here is the no dd Parker it looks really nice
