Wilton vise worth?

[67carl]

The last few Vises I've tried to buy from Craigslist hasn't worked out (some flaky folks in the world), so I keep on looking. This is the latest one and they are asking $75. It says "Shop King" with a crown on the side, as well as "Wilton, Chicago 14, USA". 4" jaw.

In the world of Wiltons where does this rank and is the money he is asking low, right on or high?

It's a little different than what you see out there in terms of design, but open screwn design, missing swivel base, etc... I would pass. If it were at a yard sale for $10-15 bucks I might pick it up, but that's about it.

Thanks, I'll pass. And the search goes on...

What part of CA are you in? I think I'm going to off some of my vises before the move....

I would pass on that vice. Maybe $30-$40 tops in my opinion. If it was a bullet in descent shape then sure.
