    Where to buy Columbian Bench Vise Parts

    I'm in the process of restoring an old Columbian 603 swivel base bench vise and it could really use a new jack screw and swivel base lock. I had planned on buying new parts on www.viseparts.com but for some reason it is closed down. Does anyone know where another good source is for these parts?

    Good extension set

    So I noticed that all my extensions are a mix of **** (no name china) and good (SK, old craftsman). Now I want a matching set. Any suggestions for a good set and how much are the sets you like. Thoughts were SK or Snap On 3/8 to start and move on to 1/2'' finished by 1/4.

    So after finding out that the Craftsman profesional full polish wrenches are made in China (I hate you China!) I decided to look at other sets. I am considering the 11 piece SK metric right now. Also I might wait for the $99 deal that Snap-On will have in about 6 weeks and buy the 7 piece...
