New to me vise!

Well I posted a few months ago here about IDing a Wilton vise my mother in law had laying around and I finally have it home in my garage. It's a 1990s 400s wiht 4" jaws. I cant say that I'm not super excited about it. Also scored some odds and end tools including some left hand drill bits

Whats not to be excited about? That is a nice vice there!!!!

Did you check the date stamp? That is a current model with the large dust cap, and AFAIK they came after 1998. Your vise might be newer than you think, and the newest ones are the best IMHO.

not as **** curves, but the larger jaw surface more than makes up for that.

That's my favorite Wilton vise model. Great score!

The Wilton looks to have had light use and been taken care of well.
