I picked up the OTC because it allows you to pull the drain plug away from the pan without getting any oil on your fingers or hands. Not a biggie if a DIY'r but in a shop I want to keep my hands as clean as possible if I'm changing oil all day. Also, I'm not really sure what the point of the...

I wish I could get that one in my pic for $15! It was extremely smooth operating. A very nice vise indeed. I will admit I have my eyes set on a Wilton bullet vise more vintage than the one in my first pic. The premium they seem to command is a little hard to swallow, but if I can find one...
