There was a thread a while back on a Van Products pneumatic vise.

A few of these vises have turned up here over the years. I have only seen one put back into usable service.

Just imagining how fast I could flatten a finger with one of those!

How fast do the jaws close when you hit the pedal?

Unfortunately, that is very location specific, and finding the right buyer. As no one here has approached you about buying it, I'd guess they have no interest. And not knowing your location, we don't know how well the "area" might be interested in the tool.

While I may think that it's cool, I can't buy it because it might tip my garage over, take up half my workbench, etc. so I might not be interested in spending even $50 on it.

Now if you find the right person, like the guy over the hill from me who collects old military vehicles and displays them on his property, you might have better luck.

Garage Journal is more of a place to talk about and learn about tools....
This forum happens to be dedicated to vintage tools

Given that GJ is not an appraisal site, I suggest that you put your vise up on eBay and let the market decide what it's worth

.....I kind of agree, I wouldn't go 50 bucks on that vise, so I'll bid less

Are vises a vice?
