Ill see it tomorrow. I knew wilton made for snapon but not others. And if its a wilton label i just expect it to...

    Hello Vise crew. It's been a long time. I need to post a few things for sure. I haven't been out like I was last year but I've picked up a few vises this year. I found this Wilton Tradesman 1750 for sale. Odd thing to me is the city on the metal sticker is Des Plaines, Illinois. Now that's...

    Thanks for the quick responses! I now believe the proud spot on the inner wall was a weld. Either way i broke it off with a screwdriver and hammer. Then i was able to move things around and hammer them out. No cutting this time. Thank goodness. I also found this video which has a much better...

    Hello. I am restoring a 5" wilton bullet and hit a wall. Ive got a stuck rear pin. I know the pin from one side should enter the pin hole on the other side and push it out enough to remove the inner threads. Well the pin isnt lining up with the hole and I am not sure the best route to go from...

    Great project. Love seeing how it's all going. Looks like a solid beginning. We ended up getting around 10" of snow here in southern NY. Winter is here!

    Mayer, thanks for the input. I wouldn't be turned off by a replaced handle and I do agree the handle doesn't match the age of the vise. The seller was very nice, sent me a pic confirming the jaw width (didn't have the model at that point), so I am sure would send more if asked. I was born in...

    I know some 6" vises sell for alot more. A Prentiss 22 in great shape sold very quickly in my area for $350. Some valued it around $900. I agree when anything is broken/missing from an old vise it can cost alot for that one part. Maybe expect to pay $100 for a part if you can find a...

    I went to pickup a nice metal garden hose reel at 1/3 cost of new for my wife. Our old one is plastic and missing a wheel. This showed up and looked like a nice upgrade. What brings me to this tool thread is what I found on the front porch. The seller just said to leave the money under the...

    I went to pickup a FaceBook market item yesterday and it turned out to be a place I was before (bought my bench grinder here months ago). The elderly couple still running what I call a slow estate sale. Before it was the larger tools for sale. Now it was more the garden, and hand tools for...
