Wilton offers some of their vises in a high-vis kind of chartreuse color, but yours is the first one I've seen that's GREEN green!

Chartreuse: I thought that meant a type of cheese or wine!

You're gonna scratch the rat

Chartreuse: I thought that meant a type of cheese or wine!

It's:
1) A color
2) A mountain in France
3) A monastery, in those mountains
4) A liquor made by the monks who live in that monastery - made since 1605.

It's not a wine, but a liquor. Strong, bitter & slightly anise flavored. It is used in a lot of "prohibition era" cocktails. And it's a staple in my bar.

I'd LOVE to see that on my workbench

Here is what I started with.

Looks great, what paint did you use?

 

[Tarpley]

After using a wire brush and sanding, I start with a self etching primer and then use this paint I bought from Standard Auto Parts

Is the vice actually Snap On? Looks great

 

[Tarpley]

I have no idea what brand it, there were not marking on it that I could find. It looks a little like the Snap-on vise but I would guess mine is a generic version. http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?store=snapon-store&item_ID=13169&group_ID=1866

[LWaite]

I just don't understand the green craze......Why do you guys buy that freaky color???

I prefer things nice and subdued myself.

That Vice would look good on your box.

I grew up in the Musclecar era and these colors like the green, orange and purple were great colors on Mustangs, Cudas and Camaros. I think it has a lot to do with it

green is great so when you drop your green pry bar/screwdriver etc inside a piece of equipment its easy to see, also if you leave it on a customers engine, you'll probably see it before you shut the hood etc.


i justified your obsession! LOL

I just bought a vise just like this one. Wilton on the side and China on the bottom.
