Anyone Familiar with this Vise?

[tubamonster]

I found a vise on Craigslist. The price seems high, but it looks nice. There are no "USA" stamps on it. The seller claims it is a Wilton, but I'm skeptical.

Any comments?

Seems like a $50 buy not having USA on it.

It's not a Wilton. Made in China or Taiwan.

Looks like a cheap import to me.

No markings, no big money.

max $50 more like $25 and personally i pass on these, but they will hold stuff. for $100 keep looking and if you go in your GJ profile and let us know you might need a vise maybe a local guy to you might have one to sell you that would be a lot better than that one you just started a thread on.

definitely not a WILTON and sounds like the guy put in the name to get more money and interest knowing the Wilton name gets more money.

also all Wiltons are not made in USA anymore and they do have an inexpensive import line as well as their top of the line Bullet and C series vises.

RUN, RUN AWAY!!!

If you have to have one of those...

They are available everywhere for about 1/2 that much...

Looks alot like a Buffalo to me, at least the lines of the body

+1 on Buffalo. They made that style under other names. Googling Buffalo vise will give you more info.

when the ad states "the nameplate is fall off", that is your first clue to run away...
