Pawn shop vise

[I can fix anything]

Picked this up for a Jackson is it any good. I know little about vises, before this one all I have is a crappy chinese one.

This one says: Torco made by Wilton schiller pk ill USA. Its orange red and green spray painted. What color should it be. THANKS

don't know what color it is supposed to be, but I had one like that several years ago. I spray painted it with Rustoleums "aluminum look" metallic silver paint and used a blue paint marker to do the lettering

We have a GREAT thread on the Wilton vise history here,

included is the Torco. I think it's supposed to be red if I recall correctly. The Torco shows up at the bottom of the first page and others contributed more throughout the entire 'history' thread.

Mine is a darker green. But I'm not sure that its the original color because most of it is worn off.

It is a exposed screw, homeowners type vise. It looks to be in good condiditon. You did well for $20.
