Hi everyone,

I am a casual DIYer and slowly setting up a workspace in my garage. I came across a listing for this Wilton vise and pipe vise located reasonably close to me:

01D114BB-BF72-48B1-9160-1D1FC1691757.jpeg

The posting has no measurements or other details. The seller is asking $200.

I would be using these, not reselling. Assuming they work and do not need major repairs, is the asking price fair? Any idea what size jaws the vise may have or a possible model number?

I appreciate any help. Thanks!

That tilting Wilton vise is a toy and really only useful for hobby work. And how often would you use a pipe vise? As to the price, it's insane. In the Chicago area that Wilton runs $40-75 ($40-50 actual) and the pipe vise is $10-20 as nobody wants one.

I'd look for a much bigger vise as your primary shop tool.

Here's a few local ads:

Thanks! I was having a tough time guessing the size. The pipe vise is something I may or may not ever even use, but I’d take one as part of a package if the price makes sense. It would have come in handy a few years ago, but who knows if/when I’ll have the need again. I’ll keep an eye on the local FB marketplace and CL posts.
