picked me up a Wilton- Any good?

I been looking around for a bench vise and came across this on my local CL. I paid $100 bucks for it figureing freight alone would cost me more than that alone for this beast (living in Hawaii).
Think I did good? The rattle can job was just to clean her up for now.

Cool. I guess that means I lucked out.

Thanks. Don't know a damn thing about these.

I'll give you $105 for it.

They are nice home vises. Here is a link to the one I found.

I did replace the handle and remove the rust from the end of the screw on mine. Fortunately no repainting was required.

I use it quite a bit.

On the mainland, that's a $40 vise, but you probably did pretty well for HI considering shipping costs. Treat it well and it'll last you a long time. I imagine that rust will be your biggest concern. Some Boeshield or other protectant on the unpainted parts should keep it looking nice.
