I deal only with forthright NORMAL sellers and this...

    Wilton v. Ridgid Vise questions

    I am still deciding on a 4-4 1/2" vise. I am redoing my entire garage after moving from Northern to Southern California. Before I left I gave away my vise to a fried who helped me clean up and pack my garage. In reading through GJ, it can get really confusing over the old USA vs. new import...

    Ridgid Vise Peddi Lift (Peddinghaus) mount that stores vise under workbench

    I came across this video showing the - very cool - Peddinghaud peddi-lift while researching Ridgid Vises. It is a mount used to place a vise under the workbench for storage to provide more room on the worktop. Has anyone used one of these? Opinions? I could not find it on Amazon, or for...

    I have been in the process of upgrading all of my tools, and thanks to this Board, I have discovered some incredibly excellent brands, especially the German manufacturers Knipex (Incredibly high quality pliers) and Wera (screwdrivers, etc.). I don't need to be convinced that paying more for...

    Yost Vise and overall quality vs. other brands.

    I am vise-less ever since I moved a couple of years ago, and gave away an old 3" HF Vise. I have a 6" Maple top Gladiator workbench, and am looking for a new vise. I want 4-5" size. I will use it mostly for home or automotive, and perhaps rarely for fabrication. I see all of the vise threads...

    This seems way too cheap: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/tls/4511662799.html I would probably run there to get it (In SF on a trip) but the top of the jaws are chewed up too much for my taste. Is this genuine? How much does the damage above the jaws hurt value/quality?

It could pertain to either a garage or tools, but in many cases it could apy to either or both sections. Since we all have concerns, questions, and comments about our tool...

    Apex Hex drivers with Wera Kraftform orange handles -

    Are these rebranded Weras? I just bought a set of each. I have also seen Apex with red Wera Kraftform handles. I do not believe these are made any longer, as stated by the seller. http://www.ebay.com/itm/321370838077?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649...
