Picked up a nice Record 84 Engineers quick release vice at the weekend. Its got 4 1/2" wide jaws Looks to be all original & could do with a clean & lube One thing Ive noticed when winding the jaws open is that when its opened to about 3" the quick release ratchet kicks in & it cant be opened...

This is a lovely old Parkinson vice I had a while back. It had quick release & a swivel base & weighed approx 90lbs + I sold it to a good home as it was a bit too large for my bench at the time, but i wish I still had it now

And also A Record No 23 quick release (Weighs 62lbs):

Here's another quick release Paramo that I recently aquired:

I do like it, the straight jaws are 4" wide & the pipe jaws are 3" Its very well made & weighs 20kg or 44lbs

Picked up this Swinden rotating jaw vice recently off Facebook. Its unused & never been bolted to a bench Being in the UK Ive had a few Record, Paramo & Parkinson vices in the past but hadn't heard of Swinden, After a quick search they're used in the MOD here I like the fact that its got...

I aquired this heavy old quick release vice at the weekend for a good (cheap) price Its branded Teneo 3 & was wondering if anyone had heard it before as google searches have drawn a blank Im assuming its a far east import but its really heavy duty & weighs a fair bit. Perhaps not as well made...

I havent heard of Padre tools before, are they good quality?

Id like to know too Was thinking that it would be an affordable option since here in the UK the only other option I've seen is the Snap On which are £££s Another alternative Ive been thinking about is perhaps buying a couple of Sk or Wright (straight & flexi head) from a US seller. Ebay...

Cheers for the old catalogue link - thats interesting! I wish I could keep both but I think Ill just keep the 110 & use the funds from the 34 for other tool goodies What would the 34 be worth I wonder? Theyre both in great condition & Im sure theres years of use to be had from them

Hi I have a couple of Record Vises / Vices & Im wondering which would be best to keep & which to sell? I know in an ideal world Id keep both but they'll just be used for weekend tinkering & I only have a small garage Ones is a Record 34 & has 4 1/2" jaws & weighs about 15kg The second is a...

Cracking Record Vice - havent seen one that big before

Well we finally had a few days of nice weather so I managed to get some paint onto the toolbox. I used 2 aerosol cans of Plastikote gloss red on top of the Tetrosyl etch primer, & Im reasonably pleased with the results. It looks a lot tidier & Ive finally got a couple of extra drawers for my...

Thanks! I have seen a few 3 drawer mid sections for sale but theyve all been in the £125 to £200 price range. This one was £45 so I snapped it up Is it a straightforward swap to change to ball bearing runners? Any part no's I could google?

Rained all day today so didnt get any paint on the drawers. I did get the box straightened though, after a few ideas with clamps & wooden blocks etc :-) The initial idea of using a sash clamp as a spreader didnt work too well as I didnt have any steel sections to brace the top correctly, so when...

Well I stripped it down today. Its a KRA 429F from the marking on the body I removed the drawers & taken the side handles off. Also removed the logo from the bottom drawer Spent the afternoon with a flapdisc on an angle grinder & got to work on the rust areas. This evening I gave all...
