[Rusty Musket]

Why are you guys wasting time straightening and polishing vise handles?

LOL. You never know what you'll find on CL.

That is just so---so---Tacky!!!


Not to mention, that it would really be in the way...

One of those Craftsman spinner socket wrenches would work too.

I thought they were hard to find! I'd love to see some of the guys reaction on here if yoy cut one up and put it on a vice!! Muahahaha

You wouldn't need to cut one up; just weld a 3/8 drive socket or a nut/bolt head to the head of the main screw.

And I've seen a few vices posted with hand wheels cranks on them.

Just what you would expect on Portland Craigslist!

 

[ADSR]

That's kind of awesome, actually.

 

[Outlawmws]

Except when you need to clamp something that sticks out at the top level of the vise jaws and it hits the wheel...

 

[Outlawmws]

I just noticed the vise it's on: the wheel is worth more than the vise...

 

[DWise]

Now all it needs is an old spinner knob.

 

[GirlnAgarage]

Wow, and they say the South is full of rednecks.

For true. Hand work implements/tools shapes and designs evolved over hundreds of years of trial and error. Let's put this one in the error pile.
