Folks, I am in the market for a homeowner grade pneumatic nailer set. I had a couple hand me downs that never worked right and would like to get into a good bang for the low buck set. I am not going to be using these constantly, just for projects around the house. Very RARELY would I use a...

I plan on "restoring" this vise at some point. It isn't anything special just a 4" vise. The vise came with the house when I bought it and the lady that lived here before me lived to 105 before she passed in a nursing home. I found quite the array of odds and ends from many moons ago...
