Unique Wilton Vise on Craigslist

I am in no way associated with this vise, I've just never seen one like this.

Those are pretty cool, I've kept my eyes open for one for the last couple of years but haven't seen one yet. That asking price isn't horrible either.

For $30 I'd get it just cuz it's nifty.

I have one of those, just a lot nicer. It works well for smaller work, like snowmobile parts. Really need something more heavy duty to really crank of stuff though.

Mine has removable jaws and removable pipe jaws though.

Edit: Here is a link to the photo I posted of it.

I just thought it was cool. I don't have a use for it, I've just never seen one like it.

I've seen one similar, except it pivoted directly under the slide rather than from the side. I believe these are designed for carving, to hold the wood at the desired position?
