    I already have a Versa-Vise, although it is plain with no accessories. This one popped up on CL only 20 min away so I had to get it. It's in very nice shape, and came with the original pipe jaws and tilt attachment (I was after one). The decal is even in good shape. :beer:

    Who are your local tools market big players?

    There are a bunch of vise flippers in close proximity to my location. A couple of them are even on here. The one guy I deal with always has nice stuff and fair pricing. Then there is "the other guy". For example, a nice looking garage fresh Reed 204R was on local marketplace for a while at...

    Tools from the old world

    Didn't need these, but they popped up on marketplace for $20 so I grabbed them anyway. These have the notch, I already had an 8" CoBolt without.

    Va, if you re-read the description, seller states it is a shop-made base. It looked suspicious to me, too. But i missed that detail the first time I read the description.

    "52yr Tool Collection worth $60,000 for only $30,000"

    The problem here is that in a collection that old, chances are it will mostly be fractional inch sockets and wrenches. Nobody is paying top dollar for them, not many have the need.

    Cornwell Tools - Locating a Dealer???

    I'm sorry you are having trouble. I like the Cornwell tools I have, mostly ratchets as their 30 tooth units are my go-tos. Plus the whole buy local thing. I do agree with you, I wish they would do online sales. Even if it was like Snap-on where everything is full list price, no flyer deals...

    I prefer enclosed screw also. The Pinch Bugs are an exception- like Mark said, they are very rare, and have a neat history. Also made of forged steel vs cast so they are much stronger than a cast vise. The side bracket allows tilting. They were made local to me so I started picking them up. I...
