I just picked up this older restoration of a Reed 105 vise off eBay. When I received it in an oversized shredded box with no padding, I was amazed that it withstood the trip to my house undamaged. I could find no fault with it other than a bent handle, which was cleverly non-apparent in the eBay photos.
I pulled the spindle and positioned it so that the handle was cross-wise in my Harbor Freight 20 ton press, and the spindle rested on a cart in front of the press. In five minutes or so the handle was straight. All's well that ends well.
