Reed vise question

[mduffmo]

I bought a Reed vise embossed 104-S it weighs over 50 pounds and opens up to at least 8”
The jaw width is 4” —-I’m not finding much info on this vise on google as far as value / age etc. so I joined this group to see if anyone has info on this vise ?thanks in advance !!

There is an extensive thread on vises in the General Tools section of GJ. Also, there is a thread on date markings on Reed vises. The search function is really useful for finding specific information and thread content.

Based on the Reed logo and removable jaws it is a late model vise. AFAIK, Reed no longer makes that model but it is a very fine vise and will last a lifetime.

Very nice vise, Reeds are excellent, one of the best. Oval logo is desirable, high retail probably around $200 unless it is damaged.

Thanks to all who responded to my questions ! I’m very happy with the vise —it opens/ closes very easily — with only one finger actually !!
It’s my first Reed vise —-thanks again
