HF 3-1/2" vise $2.06...

[dumper]

using a coupon of course. Hahaha. It is on clearance. Ok, its called a home shop vise, but after cleaning up a bit up excess paint, it actually works rather well, for lightweight stuff. I plan on mounting it on my tool cart. If nothing else, I probably got $2 worth of red paint and a free multimeter.

Sweet score!

Should be able to crack pecans and MAYBE walnuts just fine with it.

j/k, for light duty stuff, I'm sure it'll be fine and dang hard to beat fer 2 bucks!

I didn't even consider this! Now its really worth $2. Thanks.

I spent Less than $2 on socket rails and got the free multimeter, screw drivers and scissors.

It doesnt take much use to Earn its Keep at $2 bucks but i would be More pissed at the Holes i drilled in my Box/Bench if the Vise Fails. I wouldnt allow any Hammers near that thing..

I wonder if I could crush it with my Ridgid.

Crush?? Probably Not but i would think Multiple Pieces could be accomplished fairly Easily. LOL... Ive rebuild to many Cast Vises in my Day, I would take 4 Buffalo Vises and Make 1 back in the Day to Help My Grandpa make a Buck and me a Soda Pop.

Ah, good ole Buffalo tools. The Harbor Freight before there was a Harbor Freight. Sold out of motel conference rooms and off of the backs of trucks everywhere. I think most of that stuff was made in Taiwan back then. I will say this though, my 99 cent Buffalo 25' tape measure finally gave up the ghost a few weeks ago after 25 years of faithful service.

My Grandfather used to buy that stuff by the Truckload, some was Broke, some was Good it was Literally a **** shoot. We both still have some Buffalo tools that see regular duty and have for 20 years or better, 24" Adjustable comes to mind. I can tell that Ratchets, (Some) Vises, Wrenches and Screwdrivers were Literally JUNK.

Thats really hard to beat for $2.00...

 

[hofferwood]

dumper,
Great score
And it cost HF some money
I scored this little tiwanese fer 2 bucks & I use it more than the biguns.
Dude it's the third hand you need, treat it like an ex-wife and just like the fore-mentioned, it'll never quit

By the way, tons of guys here have 'em, use 'em, but WON'T admit it

I like the part where they spelled Vise wrong

I like the part where they spelled Vise wrong

They are just refering to the bad habit of buying cheap tools.

Just kidding I have plenty of them myself.

Thats the cheapest new vise I've ever seen. Even if it serves your need one time, its paid for itself.

how about vice.would that be better,i dont get it big dan.

if you use it one time i would think you got your money out of it

 

[W_KY]

I'd offer to pay you 25% mark up on it ($2.60) but the shipping would kill me

For $2 you can use it as a paperweight is all else fails.
