Having trouble getting this to the vice sub forum. I have 2 vises with no names on them, and was hoping someone knew the makers. The first just say " made in usa". The second I keep in my pickup tool box and the only markings are "S 2". It has 21/4" jaws.

I found this in a pawn shop decades ago and have yet to find out what it is, what it does or who made it. Without discovering its purpose I feel I have wasted m$1 I paid for it, so here is hoping for some help. Absolutely no markings of any kind. Quite heavy and well built. Similar to the...

Found this is a junk box and had to have it but don't have any idea of age. Information might be available online but I am just learning to post photos in forums and figured I would try one here.

I have read a few treads about hydraulic jack repair and "Hiball" seems to be the resident expert. I just have a question about a Hein-Werner 1 1/2 ton jack I am rebuilding. I have completely torn it down, cleaned it and re-assembled it and it works fine BUT it now leaks at the bottom between...

Hello guys, I have found something I need some help identifying. I am guessing this is some kind of vise. There are zero markings. Definitely a speciality devise? Found this today at a yard sale for $2. So don't be afraid to hurt my feelings. Any idea what it was made to hold, the manufacture...

Like many I prefer American made tools. Porter Cable used to be made in the USA but alas no longer. My question is, did they ever make any USA made brad nailers?

I have used a @2# shop hammer for many years now. Unlike most big hammers this APPEARS to be milled instead of cast. Most likely cast and then surface ground finish. The only marking is the name "TIGER" impressed into one side. Does anyone know who made this brand and any history?

As the post says, who has one? How do you like it? Would you buy another? Where are they made? Any complaints?

Any US built 12 volt air compressors?

I am looking to buy a small 12 volt air compressor to use while afield. Does anyone have any preferences? I doubt any are built in the USA but if there in one built here that would cinch the sale. I am willing to pay a premium for a top quality product. After viewing EBAY I see that a company...

Ok first off I dont want to start any arguements. I have viewed all the vise threads and can only say WOW. In one thread alone there is 142 pages. I have always admired vises but knew little about them till researching them on the site. From what I can assertain, REED, MORGAN, COLUMBIAN, YOST...

I am hoping some of you vice experts can help me. I have always assumed this was a Wilton Vice. I bought this new in 1977 and have used it in my construction business every since. I had assumed it was a Wilton Vice until I started studying Wilton Vices. Though I still belive it is a Wilton...

I was scanning EBAY for bargain Wilton vises (there aren't any) and discovered that both COLUMBIA and BRINK & COTTON are listed as Wilton vises. Anyone know if this is just false advertising or were these lower quality brands of Wilton?

I have used and collected older American built tools all my working life. I often strip painted power tools to bare metal and repaint. I am an antique gun and knife collecter collecter as well and it is a capitol sin to do such things to these items. My question for the forum is, what is your...

Hello everyone, I found you guys by accident and from my viewing, this site sounds in my field of intrest. I have worked for 40 years with heavy machinery so shops have always been a keen intrest. I am from the mountains of Colorado and have always had intrest in finely machined tools and...
