I really miss the craftsman vise I had. It never gave me any issues

Thanks, I am reading reviews about it right now

About all I have found in my area within a 30-45 minute drive on marketplace is a Made in USA craftsman 6in vise for $85, but it needs ALOT of tlc from the pictures. I'm going to see about going to look at it. I know the spindle screw are usually go bad when used improperly. The market in my...

"Get off the Couch", I'm a tradesman, HVAC, not the first trade I've been in either. I have been in the trades since I was kid (worked during the summers, spring break, etc, in electrical trade). Implying i sit around is laughable.

The problem in my area is "Flipper's). All they do is buy and sell. They are the typical low baller, then they turn around and re-sell it for astronomical $$$. They literally flood marketplace like this and ruin for people who are looking to buy and put it to use. Extremely frustrating.

Offer up isn't really used in this region. I have checked market place several times, but there's too many "dreamers" asking absurd pricing. I'm not kidding, they are wanting "retail" for stuff that isn't new and they won't budge

I am located in North Georgia. I don't need a 6in vise, but "want". If can settle for a 5in or 4in vise, but don't want a vise smaller than a 4in, as the smaller jaws are limited in surface area

I hear you that's why I am skeptical about buying a vise from a box store to begin with, they are usually made to sub-par standards and the price usually reflects that.

I hear you. I would love to buy top of the line, but that will have to be later on. I'm thinking I'm going to have to up my budget price from $100 or under to under $200 (if possible) for a decent quality. I was looking online and saw this Wilton at Lowes for $150+ tax, but I dunno. Wilton...

Will this hold up? I no nothing about the quality of Vevor tools. I kick myself everyday for selling my $80 Craftsman 6in bench vise, as it lasted 17 years and I sold it.... What are your opinions on a Wilton vise from Lowes?

I'm looking for a 6in bench vise. I used to have a 6in craftsman, but sold it years ago and now regretting that. I'm looking to stay under $100. I have looked around and haven't heard anything go I d about harbor freight bench vise's. Looked on Amazon and saw a Vevor 6in one for $63, read...

Understandable.

Entire section.

Curious why there isn't a Plumbing Thread to put all plumbing related posts, how to's, etc?

Shut off the unit and see if the blower motor is loose, "sometimes" they dont tighten the blower motor enough at the factory. I see it all the time with air handlers, condensers. They over torque it or dont tighten it at all.
