    Unmarked vise with T-bolt mount

    This vise called out to me for help from the top of the metal dumpster when I was dropping off my trash a couple of weeks ago. It has 4" wide jaws and a T-bolt/slot mounting system. It seems pretty beefy, weighing around 50 lbs. Anyone know the maker?

    I had not set foot on a Snap-on truck in a long time, having left the automotive field the last time a dozen years or so ago.
