    So according to the owner of viseman vises in Massachusetts, the wal worth and at least two other brands are identical vises all made in the same foundry. Detail on the vises varying depending on Which company was ordering them. The names of the other company eluded him. So for all intents...

    The Lost Art Of Lacing Cable

    It’s from the UNITED STATES federal government? Guaranteed to be in accurate. If the us govt published a report on the correct spelling of the WORD government. I would feel compelled to fact check every fact in that report. And would be astonished if I found less than 2 errors.

    I mouse a little wire behind it and get a couple wraps and did like a Spanish windlass /trebuchet sorta method. I think a nice 90 degree pick would make quick work of it, like the spoke idea up above. 🤙🏻

    VISE Jackpot!

    the supplier of the snap on vise will give snap on what they ask for. I’m guessing SNAPON isn’t real easy going. So, that being said, if the supplier is making thier product to snap ons spec. The issue you have is with snap on.
