Common off shore rotating head vise? They make pretty nice welding vises actually. Don't pay much for it.

I am looking for a rotating head for my welding bench how about a rough appraisal .

I have one very similar to that (other than color).
It's been a good vice. Cost probably in the $70 range for new.
That one doesn't appear to be beaten up (check the jaws).
If I saw it at an auction I'd go up to $20. If I needed a vice I'd probably go $40.

I was thinking it was ain the $100 range im glad you took the time to respond.

At an auction, it probably will be in the $100 range.

Yeah your probably right, I was at one yesterday watching used plastic gas cans go for $9.00.

I have the same one in red, branded Olympia or Olympus. Does the job well, has normal jaws and pipe jaws, I've beaten stuff with a BFH in mine with no issues.

If this is the same as mine, it is a great vice, and probably worth $100. I paid about $40 for mine, IIRC, which was almost new when I got it.

That's because you can't buy a new one with a decent spout. I've seen the same thing at auctions.

This one sold at Auction today for $110.00
