looks like there is a massive weld repair, missing pipe jaws. i hope you didn't pay much.

...and the seller would laugh off your $200 offer. rightfully they should. it's still a Prentiss 58, despite the repair. if price dropped to $1k it would be gone.

that Moody vise has a lot of similarities to Simplex vises. not 100% a copy but dang close. edit: i see Moody Tools is based in Cranston, RI. the original Simplex vises were made in Woonsocket, RI. perhaps they private labeled.

if you look at older Prentiss swivel base vises, they have a flat, round knob that goes on the pin. they are usually a pain in the **** to operate, very hard to pull. the lever was a design upgrade. however it would be a lot easier to replicate a round knob than the lever.

a coworker has one of these screwdriver and bit sets, gave me a chuckle

new find today. I googled and did not see much info out there. very unique looking, uncommon filer's model. Ridgid 41-FSN filer's vise 4.25" jaws, opens 6", weight 58 lbs. this one has homemade brass jaws.

this just happened to be sitting on my coffee table as i saw this thread. i have 2 identical, one at work. it is a handy size. 0.3 x 2.0 slotted. i don't own any other Garant. or pb swiss screwdrivers but this is nice.

i think it's an 8" Reed. saw a video of them beating it apart with a sledgehammer. kinda surprising, didnt think those guys were hacks.

found this today. thought it was one of the older Craftsman/Dunlap homeowner grade vises at first until i read the lettering. I've never found a trade school vise before so it had to come home with me. University of Toledo vise 3.5" jaws, opens 3", weight 21 lbs.

I found this Cardinal on fb marketplace for $15 today. it is the 4" model. it has the factory jaw plates on it which have a step to act as parallels and keep the work up off the bed of the vise. didn't grab a pic of it open but it has a few shallow drill marks on the bottom, otherwise pretty...

i am not sure what year, but here is a scan i have saved showing Tiger models. 99.9% of "Emmert vise" searches turn up the patternmakers or universal vises also pictured in the ad, not a lot of info on the Tigers. nice job on your restoration. as far as the meatball being loose, usually on the...

i have a Western Champion #33 to add. 4" jaw but pics wont upload. opens 6" per ad (more like 5-1/4") and weighs 51 lbs.

my first pair of gas & burner pliers. the joint is nice and tight, teeth nice. been looking for a nice pair to add. looks like the number is 4-70

I picked up a snap-on sll80a number of years back used for a good price, and took it to work. used to use it a lot more, it did a great job and I like using it. but i moved departments now it pretty much is drawer jewelry in my box. getting rid of it? heck no lol

found today at an estate sale. roughly 12-3/8" oal. Bonney Vise & Tool Works Allentown PA USA No. 2-1/2 Crocodile ? (hard to read this side, double struck letters)

found this #36G cast iron level in original box earlier this year. looks like it was never used. the box says Stanley rule & level but the paperwork appears newer.

feel free to use it! I got it from my dad. "Looks like Bubba was working on that." (a nicer way of saying FUBAR)

no, but yours looks like the whole slide support and lower front half of the vise were completely broken off. there shouldn't be a keyway on a tapered pin, either. that one has been bubbafied.

I needed a jack, haven't gotten areound to fixing the old h-w. something that would work on a honda accord and a chevy 3/4 ton pickup. made a trip to HF yesterday. I purchased Daytona #64786 hd steel jack, 4 ton neon green. i bought one (orange) for my BIL as a gift and he loves it, uses it...

my buddy found this Craftsman speeder ratchet at an estate sale after I had showed him my Herbrands. we did a trade and it came home with me. truthfully i am not into vintage Craftsman however i will make an exception for this super clean example.
