Picked this up for myself today as an early fathers day gift. Tried searching here for some info but couldn't find anything other than it was made by Rock Island. Anyone have any info? I got it for 80, which I think is a decent deal based on what I read, but I was hoping fkr an amazing deal [emoji14]
Everything works perfect and it even has some of the old paint!9e0a9706737e45b69fe4b3d44b49a426.jpg

Welcome to the world of vintage Craftsman vise owners. :beer:

Out here on the west coast, that is a fair price.

Is that your first vintage vise? What others might you have?

I also have a Rock Island that was mt grandpas. Its why I'm interested in vises actually. As a kid I used to love playing with it. Told my uncle that story recently and he told me he had the vise and gave it to me. Its in rough shape and needs to be restored. I picked up this one to use for now (plus I like the swivel base).ac1aba68cd13b8bc54d2daa036a33ee7.jpg

Nice one!
Rock Islands are among the best of the vintage vises. Being from your grandpa makes it worth so much more.
