vise wanted

[donahuehr]

My husband is looking for a bench vise that was made in Poland. It weighs about 100#'s and has 6" jaws. The front jaw is stationary andthe back jaw move. It may have the letters U, F, and P on it. It was possibly made by a tool company that makes Bison chucks.

It might be easier to help if you list what part of the world you are located in....

Here is a 4" version if you are looking for a photo...

This vise has stood the test of time and not failed. That implies quality vs. the crappy stuff coming in from China. Jaws are over 5"wide, not a toy!! We also have a bunch of brand new, American made Wilton vises at or below dealer's cost, also. Call (949) 645-7601 to buy it. If this ad is still up it is still available.
