    Im not sure if any of you saw this vise on craigslist. This is my newest addition to the garage: the Hollands 18. It weighs in at 282 pounds, has a max open of about 12.5" and and the jaws are 15" tall. It was a fun little trip picking it up in Detroit. We ended up driving 8 hours round trip for it.

    I have an 8” reed vise that weighs 260 pounds and it has a 22” long handle. So that vise probably weighs 500 pounds or so if it’s a bench vise. It might be a leg vise as well

The second is a Reed 203, this one is also in very nice shape. The slide has no chisel marks in it whatsoever. Lastly, I saw a large...

    Heres a cool one i just bought today. Its called a Dropfo vise made by Fulton Drop Forge Co. This an automatic vise, meaning it has a floating vise nut that tightens the swivel base down so it wont turn when the vise jaws are clamped together. Its a pretty cool vise and I cant wait to restore it.
