For the fixie!!? Edit.. Found it, the post is about the fortis. I know about that one, they are rare, but not that rare. The jerrims fixie is the one I can find absolutely nothing about!

The fortis 3 jaws pop up occasionally. They seem to have sold reasonably well. I think maybe 10 or 20 are known. Most, maybe all, are ex military. The fixie though seems a much better design. Both are cast steel and the fixie has much better casting quality and better machining too. It may be...

Uk made jerrims fixie 6" 3 jaw vice. I can find no info on this at all.

Not sure if I posted my fortis 3 jaw here or not? And this is my latest, another 3 jaw called a fixie, by jerrims. This one seems SUPER rare, I can find nothing about this vice at all. It's 6" wide and currently being stripped and cleaned. If anyone has any info on this at all, I'd love to...

Vice info thread? I'll dig out the big vice thread and add pics there too.

I'm not aware of any others existing. I have found one advert for a similar, but smaller and different, fixie 3 jaw vice. I have also found pictures of a fixie 3 jaw machine vice, but no info on this actual vice.

Overall view Unlike the fortis, the front rotating jaws are locked by the center bar. They are also better supported. They were seized solid, but I have them freed up and it's all apart ready for cleaning and rust removal.

I already had a 3 jaw bench vice made by fortis. Bought as a solid lump of rust, freed up, cleaned, painted, and its sat on the bench for 18 months without being touched. Despite having not actually used this vice yet, when I came across another 3 jaw, I just had to buy it. These things are...

This is my old 1902 Drummond flat bed. The spindle runs direct in the cast iron headstock and was worn when I got it. I had it ground, hard chromed, then reground to size. It has a different saddle and cross slide fitted which makes it far more usable. Unusually for a lathe this age it has its...

Doesn't look like a 1950s British spanner to me. 1970s maybe?

I have no tig access. I'll sort something though.

It will get sorted. Original plan was to have it outside for sharpening garden tools but I think it would get ruined.

I bought this year's ago, thought I could make use of it somewhere

I can't really answer your questions, but that screwdriver looks very familiar to me. But I suspect it's probably familiar to alot if folk. I think I have one, or have had one. I'm also reasonably sure I have come across them quite regularly in the typical box of old tools we like to rummage...

Been picking up britool as I find it. Amongst today's finds was a nice 1/2 9/16 4205 double find spanner, stamped war finish

So that's 3 different Gray decals then. Somewhere on here is a page from a Gray catalogue showing a different logo.

Beach B21 with Gray branding. Nice to see the sticker. The one on my Gray box is faded and peeling. They aren't a high quality sticker. Great box though!

That's a good idea. I have some very fine piercing saw blades.

I know exactly where you mean, but it was the early 90s before my first visit to that part of London and it would have been mid 90s before I would have cared about tools. I went to London guild hall university in the mid 90s, I was hand making 14th century guitars. We weren't buying our tools in...

Where was the buck and Ryan shop? I live in sheffield area now, but I'm from east London way.
