Anyone know what vise this is?

Emailed the seller, he couldn't tell me a name or send me larger pics. Only says 4" jaws, opens 9" wide.

Looks like a Wilton Shop King without the pipe jaws on it. However, the one that I have says Wilton on one side and Shop King on the other. If yours does not then perhaps it's a knock-off.

Wilton Shop King...

How much is he asking for it?

 

[mjozefow]

I bought one b/c I like the looks of it. It is not a heavy duty vise.

 

[biscuit141]

Is this a good vise? He is asking $20.

How light duty is it? Is it going to break easily? Or it just won't stand up to abuse like a 150# vise would?

 

[mjozefow]

It would stand up to medium use. It was made for the home mechanic, not a factory. It is not an enclosed/shielded slide so grinding is a no no and the lead screw is vulnerable.

$20 isn't too bad of a price either. don't forget to factor in shipping however. Like mjozefow said, it's a medium duty vise. If a vise breaks it's most likely the users fault from expecting to much of it or using it improperly...

Similar to how some genius broke the jaws off of this Parker...
