Anyone have any idea what manufacturer of this vise might be? Owner says he doesn't see any marking and from looking through image.google.com I haven't run across anything like it either.

If it's from Costco I tend to think it's little to no risk buying. They have a satisfaction guarantee for anything you buy from them. There return policy is easily the best in the industry. If it doesn't work to your satisfaction return it, pretty simple. I'll give you an example. I bought a...

Pretty much what Mayday mentioned. If you want to support local businesses give them the chance to match the offer, but in the end it's your money.

If it's the 5vz then it isn't too bad... but then I did it while the engine was on the stand. The biggest pain was getting the crankbolt off, but a good impact will do it or you can make the a tool out of barstock to hold the pulley down. I did the complete replacement including the tensioner...

Techwrench 3/8 and 1/2.... been thinking about adding a 1/4 techwrench to complete the set... but definitely my most expensive tools.

I would take this a heresay because I'm hardly a expert, but I always thought CDI made the snap on digital torque wrenches? Here's the thing though snap on torque wrenches usually go for less than the link you posted on ebay so it might be something to look into.
