I have repaired and recalibrated about 100 Snapon torque wrenches. Parts are no longer available for some older Snapon torque wrenches. The Snapon dealer was correct.

Those vises are different. The main difference in the description is that the old C3 is listed as made of ductile iron and the new one is made of cast iron. Big difference. Ductile iron is much stronger than cast iron and not nearly as brittle. Ductile iron will bend and deform whereas cast...

Boley made a lot of watchmaker's tools. They are probably best known for their precision small lathes. The company was established in 1870 in Esslingen, Germany.

Finally got some decent weather so I could paint some of the vises and holders I've been working on.
