Vise question

[athyen]

What can anyone tell me about a craft industrial tools heavy duty bench vise #5? There is one for sale near me and I do not know if it is worth looking into. It looks fairly beefy from the pictures, but I do not know its age or origin. Thanks all.

If it has a big number 5 on it it is an import. If you need a vise and its $15, I'm sure it would work for you.

It does have a large yellow 5 on it. He has it listed for $35, so Ill pass on it. I just picked up a Wilton 746 vise so I dont really need one, just thought that if it was a steal I would grab it up.

not a steal, and probably not really steel, either!
