Columbian 4500 worth?

[decableguy2000]

One has popped on Craig's list. Looks lightly used and US production. I know they are still in production, but made off shore now and retail for $175ish. They are asking 100. Looks like this one.

It's this one right? On my phone so pics are too small for me too see very well.

Didn't think this style was ever made here though?

That's the style, 5 1/2 wide jaws. Has Made in USA cast on the jaw. Colombian version. Trying to research a little bit before pulling the trigger. Seen these made by Wilton, Colombian, and Yost. All the newer ones are made off shore.

I never knew that was sold under Columbian or USA made. Interesting.

Do you need functionality of 2 jaws, or do you live in a "vise desert"?

I wouldn't pay $100, regardless of where it was made, its a medium to light duty vise.

Not much to pick from here. Especially in the 5-6" range.
