It's not f***ing fair! I never find places like this in Houston.

So now you have 2 of the 5181's?

I think I have more confusnion on the maker of those BTW:

This is a Yost from the Vise thread:

Other parts are clearly Reed like the screw head and the oil holes, but the base plate is dang close, closer that any Reed or Colombian

That is exactly what I was thinking.... And the few vises that do show up it's a scramble between like us 4 guys or so... lol...

Still can't believe I got that 8" Ridgid locally...

P.S. The Craftsman was made by Reed. They went from the round nose to flat nose style in later models. Personally I like the flat nose design better.

Wrenchguy I am sorry too say this but alas you have the wrong avatar name instead it should read:

Viseguy

PS: How many benches do you own? You have some cool looking old iron there!

Nice score

I have a Craftsman with the flat face on the handle knob as well, but I think it is newer as it has a metal CM tag.

Thought for the day: "Fair is a human concept...the world/life/vise hunting AIN"T FAIR!!!"
