l have an import one of those vises, do l loosen these "gib screw" looking screws to lean it sideways?

On the current version, the screw is in the obvious location. On yours, those screws should to something w the pipe jaws.

I wonder if they counted on the main screw locking it down, so you can't keep it tight and rotate the vise? No idea. Is there anything on the back end of yours, near where the slide hangs out.?

Some of them work that way. The main screw clamps everything. Great when you are trying to clamp something heavy at a weird angle!

That's not my vise, but mine has no obvious lock, and no, nothing on the back end of mine, near where the slide hangs out.
Sorry, l looked all over, can't find pictures of my vise, but no obvious lock on mine.

Found these on another threads. This is mine. None of the other side though.

These are the ones that get me. It's one thing if it's an antique, or older tool that it known to be bulletproof. Yeah, it's fine to quibble a little over price. When it's a tool that I can still buy unbroken, brand new, with warranty, it better be a screaming deal. I always see brand new, in the box, power tools that are priced at right about the same price as what I'd pay during a good sale at local store. I sometimes wonder if these guys are just trying to unload stolen stuff.

So, $280.00 for a dcs391?

DCS391PI comes with 5mah battery and charger and probably bag. HD says $274 +tax...So maybe $293 or so OTD. Nothing like saving 13 bucks on a stolen tool with no customer support/replacement or warranty. But hey, might make a friend in the process. lol

So you think those perusing Craigslist are looking to pay near retail?

Anyway, they can be found on eBay new for $80-$100 bare tool regularly enough.

 

[1982fxr]

Only in the world of garage journal is every tool for sale on Craigslist stolen. Every tool on ebay part of an international money laundering operation, and every other name brand tool an illegal counterfeit.

It was an obvious joke...And you missed the fact that it was not a bare tool to start with.

Anyways, geez, I should've known better than to even enter the CL realm by looking at this thread triggering the CL regs. Later, haters. LOL In before more boohoo.

Okay, I had to post this one. Even if the price wasn't too high, I couldn't get over some of the glaring issues in the title/description. How many can you spot?

[jayemm]

Do them "ball bearing capacitors" use dielectric grease?

 

[Lassen Forge]

Tri-electric grease - you need it to contain all those 70 amps that 1/2 horse motor pulls...

 

[Maui]

I hope the house is wired to deliver 70 amps at 115 volts.

 

[GeoBruin]

I hope the house is wired to deliver 70 amps at 115 volts.

I wouldn't be worried about the power draw, but rather the air consumption. It is pneumatic afterall!

 

[exmaxima1]

I hope the house is wired to deliver 70 amps at 115 volts.

And you would need a 70a breaker to power it on/off. The motor switch looks broken off

You should put a link so we can save it and laugh at it later and see how long it stays one there.

Sorry, I did link it but it looks like it was broken. New link added.

 

[dcg9381]

I mean, even I question the cheap and still sealed Romex wire.

I have a buddy running a "very good" business selling tools on CL, FB, other areas. All of those tools are new and legit. He's just found a way to buy low and sell higher in substantial volume with a big shipping discount. But he'd come across as someone who happened to empty out a delivery truck for sure.

lt's all good! I favorite things on Craigslist just for S&G's to see how long they stay there, and to sort of laugh at them later

Lol - Them there fancy breakers are a real premium gadjit. Yes sir!

 

[NimbleMotors]

What I don't understand is why anyone would buy 'antique outboards' for huge sums. Obviously they don't want to power a dinghy with them, what is more useless than an outboard motor that doesn't start. Show piece in the billionaire yacht smoking room? Not these junks, if they were all restored and shiny new, ok, but these are just old junk they want $1000 for.

Some of those shiny old motors fetch over $2000. Man cave displays.

 

[Maui]

This one is from facebook marketplace. This guy wants $1000 for this Craftsman 100 table saw. Here are the photos from the ad.

 

[slowtwitch73]

 

[GeoBruin]

As absurd as that is, if this individual had walked into a welding supply store and asked for a quote for those tanks, it could have come out to about a grand.

Of course he second hand market is is a different thing entirely, but I can see how this person may have been lead astray.

 

[Maui]

Maybe the guy with the tanks could do an even trade for the Craftsman 100 table saw.

 

[slowtwitch73]

Those Settling tanks are ultra rare.

 

[Maui]

And here is the opening photo for a small Craftsman drill press listed for $100 that according to the seller "works fine". From a safety perspective, I beg to differ.

 

[Maui]

Here's one I just found on Marketplace that is very similar in nature to the ad that started this whole discussion:

Don't Settle for less?

I see all kinds of Silly Stupid-A$$ prices on CL
This one has been on CL for some weeks now

His post is kinda funny
A couple of his pics are upside down....
Wants $1,200 for his Rigid...

But, cutting the seller a bit of slack......this darn thing may be 150lbs?
....couldn't get solid intel on it. So, I don't know for sure

vise - tools - by owner - sale - craigslist

This is a solid old ridgid vise.

[Beerhippie]

I wouldn’t even pay that much for a USA version of that vise. I do want a USA version of that vise, though.

Everyone I know that has one of those “Chinese wonder vises” absolutely loves it. If you mount it right at the corner of your bench… where when you lean it sideways… it is beyond the edge of the bench… they are really awesome. It is a brilliant form factor if you mount it like that.

Hey! I resemble that remark!



Right handy.

Thanks for the reminder to buy some more o' that settlin' gas!

I don't think anyone sells anything on CL around here anymore.

 

[GeoBruin]

I don't think anyone sells anything on CL around here anymore.

I think "Craigslist" has become like "Kleenex" for tissue. It's just a term that represents all local buy/sell/trade platforms.
