Do you have a Vise?

[jonp]

I've been using one of these for a couple of years. I keep it in the garage and move it outside to clamp on the edge of a table as needed. Can't beat this small vice

The HF XY Vice is also a good value for home use. I use it with my small HF drill press all the time

I have had one like that for a couple of years, works great for small parts!

Looks like a winner. Go post that as a review on HF site.

I've used that exact vice for almost 10 yrs.

The larger jaws are set up for winding springs using the various size arbors/ mandrels. It also has a spot for forming the spring " keepers" I make from the combination spring of single actions.
The main use for the small jaws is holding the end of the flex shaft of my foot operated Dremel. It's an excellent 3rd hand and vice!!

I really like the OPs vise, probably would have bought one had I known about it. The last vise I bought came from Tractor Supply: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/pr...e?cm_vc=-10005

There are diferences between 'Vises' and Vices'. I have 'Vices' that I would rather not talk about. I have a couple of 'Vises' that I use regularly. The one most used is a Wilton bench vise. FWIW.

Looked today at the vise I like and the tag reads Versa Vise

"Do you have a Vise? " At least 6 or 7, The HF one like posted is one of the three or four that I know the current location of. I like it, I think it is quite nice for it's size and cost.

I won't totally ignore HF stuff, but I always go hunting up vintage and NOS USA made tools before I would buy Asian tools. In most cases I can find a high quality USA made, 40-50-60yr old vintage tool for comparable prices, often cheaper to buy the real deal than the Asian copy.

Wish I had that kind of time!!! Lol

Two Wiltons, two Kurts for milling, two Rigid pipe vises, six post leg vises for blacksmith work and one lonely Pana-Vise. My wife would shoot me if she sees another one come home in the back of my truck...

This one fits in your lunch box!!

Pickup trucks, air compressors, vises, can you imagine how your life would be without them? I don't want to and will not!!!!

[gnoahhh]

Well, I can do without the pickup truck, especially in a world with $5/gallon gas. But I'll agree about the vises! I have a Wilton for "serious" work, an old Emmert's Patternmakers Vise for woodworking/stockmaking, Kurt on my my Bridgeport, and a bunch of small demountable vises under my loading bench for the odd little jobs requiring stronger gripping than my LH fingers can manage. Of those small vises probably the Panavise gets used the most.

[farmbif]

I'm guessing good vises are getting hard to find or are selling for crazy high prices. I had an auctioneer come pick up a load of stuff a while back and he was going ape crazy over some of my vises including palmgren, ridgids and others. I didn't give him any vises but gave him an old beat up spare anvil and it sold for enough to buy a new Henry lever action.

[brass410]

I had two vise's 1 was women ,had to give up when got married
2 alchohol but have pretty much give up on that too as it was irritating the kidneys too much

I also have a couple of bench mounted 8 inch Records and a nearly new Wilton for clamping things that require some brute force as well.

When I worked at the refinery,there were quality 6" vices on steel tables lying around everywhere ten to a table .....the kind that cost $500 new......never bolted down ,but welded.....just how the refinery guys look after everything.
