I’ve been looking for a new vice for months. Now I know why o can’t find any. You have them all.
I found one 5.5" Craftsman at a garage sale in like new condition for $15. Don't give up but make sure you check out garage sales, This vise wasn't for sale but the lady called her son and he said $15 was ok as long as I removed it. Her husband had passed away. I also picked up a 6" bench grinder for $10.
@@denniswhite166 I hit yard sales every week. It is the law of large numbers. Look enough and you find stuff. The trouble is it can take a while to find whatever you're looking for though. It usually takes me a few years to run across any specific tool I may be looking for. In the meantime though I always find something I buy.
Along with eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Mercari, Antique shops, Flea Markets, Swap Meets, Surplus Auctions, School Auctions, And, on very rare occasion, places like LumberJocks. I can guarantee you: give me specs on a vise and I can find one for you in 20 minutes, to spec (barring some of the really esoteric ones). May not be the PRICE you want to pay, but I promise you: they're not that hard to locate.
I love thinking about the work that those tools helped with. All the hammer blows, the blood and sweat. Ok, maybe not a whole lot of blood but definitely lots of sweat. Lots of history. Lots of work. Keep up the rescue, repair and restoration of our shared history. It’s appreciated.
Nice. Another man suffering from the vise vice. Thanks for sharing!
Dude you’re videos make it hard for me to get any work done because I’m binge watching your awesome videos so please don’t stop them and keep up the awesome work
I collect vise's and have I have few. I use them in my leather work but this video was very helpful in telling me there true job. I am always picking them up at yard sales. Great video. Glad I came across it. Your a great speaker very educational . Thanks.
Every time I thought this video was over, you started showing more vises. And I watched the whole thing even though I don't need a vise. You explained everything very clearly, which I guess kept me watching. Well done.
I have a number of vises and have to say that was an excellent presentation of the benefits of each type, nice job.
Underrated! Thank you very much for that amount of info!
Great video and awesome commentary! I love the passion you have for the vintage stuff! I passed on a good wood table vise that I would have gotten for pennies. And at the same sale, 3 blacksmith vises I let go off cause they were not as ornate as I had hoped them to be! Well hopefully I find these again, I love vises and as much as I am a user, I am a collector of these and love them, reeds, Wilton’s (my fav) there are certain design and unique features on all of them that you fall in love and can’t just say and have the one vise that trumps the rest.
Very interesting information here. I guess I ended up here because I was looking for more information on a vintage vise I have that's made by American Red Seal. I'm surprised I didn't see any in your collection. Thanks for the videos!
Thanks for tutorial. Never understood the purpose of post vises, now I do!
Love the content! One critique is that the hole on the back of the mechanics vise is a pritchel, not a hardy hole. Hardy holes are square. Pritchels are meant for knocking out pins, etc.
I have that exact same Allied multi-vise you show at 3:45. I got it at Harbor Freight in 1991 and it's still going strong. Been thinking about upgrading to the Doyle version they sell now since it's made from ductile iron and would handle errant hammer blows better.
For anyone who collects vises, there is also a "saw vise", For sharpening hand saws. Pretty unique looking vise. Have a regular size one and a mini one.
Thanks a bunch now I have a few ideas to look for my first vice ~ beginner wood worker and general fixer of things. I love learning new skills so I really appreciate your videos.
I've got an 8 inch jaw Wilton mechanic vise that opens like 12-14inches and weighs like 130-150 lbs. Well worth the $1500 she cost. I'd buy another one in a heart beat.
I just realized I knew about 1% about vices, a great video, I learned a lot!
Thank you for the ad-vice
Great to see the variety all in one place. I have Just about every style you show here with an additional compound vice with X and Y axis. On my list is a rotary as well. Cheers! Zip~
AWESOME! THANKS! FOR YEARS I THOUGHT DOUBLE SWIVEL MECHANICS VISES WERE A GIMMICK TOO, BUT MY GUT WOULD TELL ME I NEED ONE IN THE SHOP FROM TIME TO TIME..... NOW IM SOLD, ILL PROBABLY USE IT FOR TONS OF STUFF LIKE YOU TOO ... GONNA BUY NEXT GOOD ONE I COME ACROSS!! THANKS GREAT VIDS...
Like the video. I collected a bunch of vises too. Mostly older usa made stuff. Thanks for sharing!
One of my favorite vises is the cross slide vise. I use one on my bench top drill press...allows me to do some basic milling without a milling machine. Good vid.
Right on fellow ghetto machinist! Me too, BTW!
I love everyhing i see. Great collection
just found your site, love it, very informative.
I bought a Brinks and Cotton 2.5 in. vise today...thanks for intro to different types of vises.
Excellent presentation. Keep it up!
I’m a sucker for a vise
This video is exactly what I needed. Thanks.
Awesome stuff Chris!
My father taught me to never use a drill without a vise and to clamp them down. That was over 55 years ago (I was 10 yo) and I always do it. I've never had a problem - Thanks Dad.
I used to never use a drill without a vise but some of the drills I have now are so damn big they wont hardly fit in the vise so lately I have just quit using a vise all together ;p
@@me3333 Is getting a bigger vise not in your budget?
One big enough to fit the drill press in is definitely out of my budget... I was just making jokes LOL
WOW very impressive with your collection i had 2 baby vices that i founf for $10 bucks at garage sales last week i got one for REED -little older than the one you have here- for $30 dollars best deal ever, i restored it and i uploaded it to my channel thanx for sharing man
Vises are your vise! Great video, I subscribed.
Amazing video explaining vises! Thank You!!!
I thought the only vice I needed was vodka. Now I realize I need like 4 different ones. Great video bro. Thanks for the ad"vise". (God I'm brilliant.). Honestly, you answered all my questions I had regarding types/quality. Great video, much appreciated. I'm officially vise shopping now that I have more info.
Can you tell me the difference/pros/cons between a vice that has a screw type opening and closing mechanism and one that looks like a metal beam or bar? Also, these vises are beautiful and I love that you're totally geeking out on them.
Hi just obtained a vise with 2 rear jaws which can swivel and lock into place. Its a Noveto 4 1/4in with a swivel body also
it's a cast steel vise.
I have never seen one before from the 1930'S I think . Wondering if it might be a rare vise.
Cheers Rob 😊👍
An excellent video, Very informative.
I'm suprised not to see a Zyliss Aluminum vice in your collection
Interesting video!
Cool collection 👍
Magnificent explanation...
Thanks for the info! 👍👊
20 jerk offs gave you a thumbs down. 🤦🏻♂️ Great video my man. Had no idea we had this many vices in the world.
Damn that’s a lot of vices dude! Very informative tho! I need to make a kinda post vice, something I can move around the shop for them times when you need an good strong vice
Take up smoking. It is a strong portable vice.
Thanks you. Very educational.
Good job, Sir!
Excellent video.
Very informative video.. thanks a lot for this outstanding effort.. [LIKED]
Panavises were designed for electronic work, the make different heads that interchange, multiple heads to hold circuit boards by the edges.
I just picked up today a miniature vice for £3 at my local market. I had no idea what it was for. Now that I have looked on the internet I find it is a watch/jewelers vice. which is worth a lot more than what I paid for it. I have to tell you a story of a time I worked on a farm in Ireland. One Friday the farmer came home with a vice that he paid just over £50 pounds for. Now I am going back over 30 years plus ago. The minute I set my eyes on it, I told the farmer that it would not last long. It was a big one, but made of cast iron. I told him that cast iron is very strong but cannot take heavy banging or major stress and I was right. I went to work that Monday to find that the vice had snapped where the long screw opens the vice. Back then it was an expensive loss. The farmer did not say too much about it but I bet he was not happy with all that money down the drain.
Holy workholding Batman, that's a lot of vices!!
Thanks for the info ! i hope to own a vise (someday)
Good vid mang.i love yer collection of vises.very informative.what auctions do you buy from?
Learned a lot 🖖👍
I just bought a Colombian mechanics vise made in the U.S.A with a swivel base at a flea market to replace a no name vise that had a cracked base that someone welded back together it did its job but the Colombian is much nicer and better build/quality so I am in the process of restoring it.
You sir, are the vice master
I inherited my Great Grandfather’s Mercury 4 vise. It’s a solid, heavy American made beast. I treasure it and use it every day.
That was made by Morgan in Wisconsin. They aren’t too common and you can still get replacement parts for them if needed.
@@Freakingstang really?! Wow, thank you for the information, I’ll look them up.
I have a Paramo and a Brockhaus Heuer, especially the Heuer vices are very popular in the Netherlands.
Indiana Jones and the lost city of golden vises priceless!!!vises are forever!!
great video thanks sir for that
Nice collection Chris! I just picked up another Chas. Parker yesterday brining my vise count up to 12. Yeah, it's a problem. Lol. It was great meeting you at the LIATCA tool swap last month.
That pano vise is used to hold circuit boards. Nylon jaws.
While Panavise makes circuit board holders the model 303 head is not made for that specific purpose. Although if you have a board small enough it fits in the jaws that tool will hold a board. The 217 and 315 are specifically made to hold circuit boards for work. I prefer a dedicated station like the 333 for production work myself.
That is only one thing they can do, and that isn't actually the head they use for holding circuit cards. It's a general-purpose vise head. See the link: www.panavise.com/index.html?pageID=1&id1=1&startat=1&--woSECTIONSdatarq=1&--SECTIONSword=ww
Bolt two mill vices on the mill table. Put flat sided drill press vises in the mill vises. Cut a block of wood to thickness and place between them. Now sheet metal can be milled precisely.
Awww yeah! I have an old Joland metal vise for Australia. It looks old as the brand Joland is a round bit of lead with the name stamped on it. A blacksmith friend of mine told me it is definitely worth restoration? It is heavy duty. Have you heard of the brand? Any reply appreciated cheers from Australia 🙂👍👍👍. Informative tutorial
I needed this!
Very interesting.
I have restored big machinist vices and they can be expensive and hard to find replacement jaw plates, I found a guy in Colorado that makes jaw plates for just about any vise and he had a set of Vise Jaws for mine and they were less money than original's made out of Air Force machine tool steel hardened and annealed, Said I would probably never have to replace faceplates I have made other plates with the milling machine to hold certain items some soft, work very well, that is a $650 vise not the most expensive but a nice vise
dostum harika ve özel bir insansın. insanlık için gerekli bir kişiliksin. kutluyorum seni.
Ever come across a FIXIE E6? Fascinating vise - removable half jaw on the slide that can be swapped left to right & a quick release.
Super helpful! Thank you. But I'd sure like to know how you found those Kurt vices at auction for $10. I'm having a heck of a time finding auction steals like that.
I have a sawyer tool co vice exactly like the one you had in the back that you did not mention. Wondering if you could give me any info on it??
Muito bom mesmo valeu amigo obrigado por compartilhar 🇧🇷👏👍🙋👀
You gotta come down to mongers market with me so you can buy some more haha
Nice overview of range of vises! Very helpful. Do you happen to know where I can get replacement jaws for an old Charles Parker 974 I picked up at an yard sale. It is missing one of two jaws otherwise works. You have to be a machinist to fix which I am not. Arggh.
What an instructional video should be!
I can't believe how cheap you got some of those nice old vises for!
Brilliant
my uncle just gave me a vintage mighty brand multi purpose vise, i'd love to figure out the year it was made, i think its about 5 to 7 inches, its quite heavy and in great shape
You must have misheard the quote, It is "you can never have too many CLAMPS" not Vises. I want the Wilton Bullet All the best.
Someone call the vise squad!
Came here to get an idea of what how the hell they used the lil tiny anvil on an 1886 jewelry vise. Informative. Not about my vise though.
Oh I have a wood vice I thought it was made from a old vault door lock cause the little thing that pops up and stuff
Could you tell me about the Parker 33 1/2 Vise O.P. Co. I would truly appreciate it if you could help me, thanks. 🙋☺
Everyone has a vice... some are self destructive, some are used to cope with the pain. Some are literal.
What was the little vise handheld beside the drill press vises for? It had a wing nut on it. I have one and am not sure what it is used for. Thanks for a good video!
Next time put a time stamp in your comment so people might see what you're talking about. Any number with a colon CZcams converts into a link to a specific second point in the video on which page you're commenting on. Which is kind of annoying if you want to use a number with a colon in it. There may be a way to escape it, I don't know. But this will take you to the 2 minute mark in this video 2:00 This is 30 seconds :30 etc.
wow you have a lot of vices yeees
What information do you have for the big light green swivel head mechanic vise? I actually just posted a video a few days ago asking for any information about it. I recently inherited one and don't really have any idea as to how old it is or who made it. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I bought an all aluminum body for my truck that looks like it was used for fire, rescue and welding. There are 4 holes on the 800lb flat steel bumper that aren't square. Two are wider apart. I would love to replace that vice. I just don't know what vice is good for all weather.
Have a 5" Schiller Park Wilton Cadet missing the casting nut the lead screw screws into. Any suggestions for me to find one, make one, etc.?
Just bought an open end pipe vise for restoration. I can't figure out how to get it apart. Can you help!?
Very nice and unique claction from karachi Pakistan
Talk about pipe vise, standard c clamp, heavy duty c clamp and parallel clamp
They need to put more vintage vises for sale anywhere I can not find them ! Are collectors hoarding them!!!
Awesome ad-vices I just got a very heavy, huge, old vise It looks great but it is made in China should I worry about it? I know when you buy a pipe wrenches you want to avoid the cheap China made and go with made in USA so I don't know if I should try to sell it, thank you
Where do you find vises that normally go used for 100 or more for 10 bucks
Hi, i bought a big vice at a estate sale and was wondering the maker, it looks like the mechanics vice gray in color
What about the magnetic "vise" on your surface grinder?
Sorry, but your Charles Parker is perfectly able to take a hammer blow. The only vise that is better for hammering in the collection is the post vises, because they are forged, not cast like all the rest.
I didn't see a corner vise being used -- do you have a video that shows how to use them? What is a Wilton 7 x 7" model 13025 in good condition worth?
I have a vice to restore, a RAE machine toolworks but I can't find the correct color I'd appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.
I am looking for a great mechanic's vise for my home DIY workshop. Which brand I need to try?
Record vices from England are great. As he says, get an older one.
The unknown milling vise looks very similar to a Bridgeport branded vise I have seen.
Jackson Kelley thanks!!!
I have the same vise and mine is a Bridgeport tho mine is yellow but that doesn't mean crap. Mine does have the Bridgeport name cast into it so I would say it's a clone of the BP style vise
I know I’m almost a year late, but I also have that unknown vise and mine is branded with Bridgeport on it as well.
