Show us your bench vice(s)

[MattF]

It'd be worth keeping. That will take pretty much any grunt you can throw at it.

 

[arther dailey]

Ok, and thanks, I do expect my tools to earn there keep, so will keep it untill I get sorted for sure.still have another heavy vice stashed ready....

 

[Barking Mat]

I've just acquired a big vice like Arthur Daleys, a French monster, I will post a piccie when the internet at the house returns.

Picked up a woden 3/b today for 4 quid, pretty chuffed as it's in pretty good condition, not any hammer marks, were a couple of bits of spatter that I knocked off and a small cut on one of the jaws.
Will upload a picture when I remember but in the mean time does anyone have any info on this model, can't seem to find any mention of it online?

Google search is your friend: http://wodentools.com/snjhhistory.html

Your model number sounds incomplete, they usually go like 189 B/3. I wanted a big woden to match my 7" woodworking vice but they were far too expensive, so I settled for my record.

 

[harryb94]

I did Google it but I couldn't find any mention of a b/3 which is all that is says on the vice

Gonna hazard a guess and say this is a 186B/3 late model, 4 inch jaw, 1/4 turn anti-clockwise QR. Nice! Looks like it's never worked a hard day in its life...

We could do a swapsie. I bought two leg vices only to discover they're a bit small. Would swap one (really nice one) for that big one on top.

Assuming it's not actually a mini pallet and they're all action man size...

[rosinante]

Impressive ,but also a bit sad, to have that many vices, and all on a pallet, I can't put my vices on a pallet but I could make long list,

This is what happens when you spend 40 years collecting metalworking tools... He taught me well (or badly depending on your view on hoarding), I remember as a 10yr old dragging a leg vice back from the auto jumble at the gdsf back to our marquee. Seemed like a bloody long way to carry a leg vice.

I see you've put your 634 up for sale Screwdriver Good luck with the sale.

I may need it!

LOL

But seriously, how much would a gigantic vice cost these days? They don't make 'em any more do they?

 

[CwazyWabbit]

Well you only have to look at the prices of the 112/114 or 36 none of which weigh as much as the 634 but all cost in the £800+ range. As I've heard many times before "if you don't ask you don't get"

That pole shoe screwdriver looks interesting, never heard of them before but looks like it's for assembling old motors. Everyday is a school day

 

[arther dailey]

I agree with the pole shoe screw driver, would make easy work of removing or fitting the field coil/iron on starters etc.we used to use impact driver.Arther
