When there's not a huge price difference like that, I'd go for the beefier one. It's just 12 bucks plus it has an extra wheel. Now, the 2000lb one is about $99 so that's a bigger jump.

Faster to operate, smaller storage space requirement.

I think you've all pretty conclusively determined what it is. Thanks for the help everyone. :thumbup: If anyone has a good (cheap) source for the broken pipe jaws, that would be great. I might try cutting and filing my own from a chunk of scrap steel and see how they work. I'm on a pretty tight...

I saw this foam gutter filter/guard at my local HS and it got me researching and I'm wondering if any of you guys have had success with any of these products? I'm thinking none of them will be as good as getting up on the roof and cleaning the gutter out periodically, but if something works, I...

New here. I found a bunch of threads about vises and it sounds like there's quite a few knowledgeable people around. I'm trying to identify this beat up bench vise. Jaws are 4" wide. I can't find any markings or serial numbers on it anywhere, though on the right side there's a rectangle where a...
