    Craftsman 5198. Who made these awesome vises!!

    Thanks Racheted, that is a very different vice indeed. It's looks much more robust than mine. I do think mine is a Rock Island from the 1930s, as it looks very similar to other Rock Island, which is very cool to me. Thanks all for clarifying these things. I'm going to use mine probably the...

    Craftsman 5198. Who made these awesome vises!!

    ok but I haven't found a picture of the 5198 you are talking about. lots of other vice pictures. where might it be? there are 15 pages of thread here. I don't know why sears would use the same model number 5198 on two different vice designs. that's confusing!

    Craftsman 5198. Who made these awesome vises!!

    oh, ok. So this is only for the craftsman labelled 5198 then? Those are different than the Dunlap 5198 I have, even though both were Rock Island made? Can you show a photo of the 5198 you are interested in? Im curious on the differences.

    Craftsman 5198. Who made these awesome vises!!

    Looks like mine is missing the wire cutter? From the saddle where it plugs in the top? Where could you find one of those? I found an identical dunlap vise that just sold on eBay for about $100 plus shipping. Only sold 5198 that came up.

    Craftsman 5198. Who made these awesome vises!!

    Hey guys, today I bought a 5198 from a garage sale but mine doesn't have any craftsman marking but a cast in Dunlap and cast 5198 on the side. It's painted red. It has a cast in 3v6510 and a separate big 1 on the bottom. It also has two smaller add on jaw pieces for holding pipes that fit...

    Husqvarna 24 Inch 460 Rancher

    If one does get the 24 inch bar husky or the echo above 24, should use a skip chain to maintain good speed, i was surprised how good the 590 is skip at 32 inches. Echo maxes it out at 27 inch i think, but it can do much more. Ported and muffler modded increases power a good 15 to 20 percent...

    Husqvarna 24 Inch 460 Rancher

    Much much better is an echo cs590 timber wolf. Can be had on a 30 percent off sale from zoro on occassion. Ive run a 32 inch bar on mine milling hardwood logs, 59 cc saw! Torque beyond belief. Speed still 70 percent at 32 inches vs 20. Ive cut 40 inch diameter trees with it too felling. Paul

    Menard's Deals Permathread!

    Well I hate to say it, but in my store where they don't bother to remove old sale signs for two weeks, then stock those spaces with nearly the same alternate stuff by same mfr, never on sale, and leave the sale signs up, so you are fooled, I prefer the 11%. At least I get some kind of sale...

    Menard's Deals Permathread!

    Hey guys, I've been away from here too long. Ive been annoyed with Menard's of late. Three trips in a row to my store over about 6 weeks I buy something with the sale sign on it, get to checkout and done, then get home to find either it didn't ring up on sale at all or else if a rebate item...

    Hot Deal on Super High Value Speakers for Garage!

    Hi 2Many, I actually don't yet have any MQC files to try on it. But I have a bunch of 24/192 and 24/96. It is very nice with those. Very detailed, smooth as silk, good imaging. Just slightly on the warm side but not tubey at all. I really like the 16 band eq. I have some hearing loss and...

    Hot Deal on Super High Value Speakers for Garage!

    Ok, thanks Peter. No problem recommending them. But saying "they are the best speakers made" is pretty ridiculous! Made in the USA does get bonus points, and Klipsh is good. But I don't put them in the top in any price range right now. Have to go listen to what is out there to know what you...
