Help with a Snap-On Vise

[Jbullfrog]

I picked up a welding bench with a Snap-On Vise attached at a farm sale. Is there a model number stamped in the body of the vise? The jaws are not quite 5" across and replaceable. It is a swivel base with the round screw housing and a pipe jaw. I'm thinking it is a 4-1/2 mechanics vise? Are the replacement jaws available for it?

The number is 1750


Thanks,

The Snap-on vise is a Wilton. The member "mjozefow" was making replacement jaws not too long ago.

Thanks for the info guys. I will check with my Snap-On guy Monday and see what is available. Who handles Wilton parts, as I would guess they might be cheaper.

Wilton's website: http://www.wiltontools.com/us/manufacturing/en/wilton/home.html

Looks like the 1750 is discontinued; the closes is the 1755; which is 5.5" rather then 5.0" jaws: http://www.wiltontools.com/us/manufacturing/en/wilton/product.html?node=4546&product=1096

Give Wilton support a call and see what parts they have:

That vise is a Wilton Tradesman 1745. Milex sells jaws reasonable. Wilton Part # 2908060 and maybe think about getting new pipe jaws at he same time Wilton # 2904200 around $14.
