My dad gave me an old CM vise he picked up somewhere, and I am tring to freshen it up a little. The PO welded the jaws on, due to some of the retaining screws busting and others being frozen. I have cleaned the welds, removed the jaws and am finishing up removing the screws. What I cannot find are a set of replacement jaws.

The only stampings I can find on the body are "Craftsman" & "5202". No country of origin, and all searches for 5202 have come up negative. Any ideas?

I will post pics later this week.

I picked up a nice C-man vise at a swapmeet this year, and one jaw was broken, seller said no problem, Sears sells them. Found out they don't. Get a piece if steel stock and make your own, cut some notches in them with a file, bevel some holes to attach it, there you go.
