Im going to look at two vises tomorrow...One is a 70 Lb Parker, the other a Lakeside 30 pounder...

He's asking $100.00 and $30.00.

I don't understand how a 6-inch Parker could only be 70 lbs, but if the jaws aren't trashed it's a great deal

Does that dynamic jaw maybe look like a bunch of weld under the paint where the head meets the slide?

I wouldn't drive 2 hrs. for that Lakeside, and as far as the Parker - Run Forest Run, probably broke the swivel base when they broke the dynamic jaw, just ugly.

I sold a 4" Parker #954, for $80, in perfect condition. No dings, no welds, and best of all , a very light coat of paint. I do not like to buy used vises with tons of new paint on them. Too easy to hide things. Keep looking.
