That's interesting, flip it over to use as a v-block.A nice wee eclipse vice to use on my centec:
Perfect size to clamp to bed.
Not bad for £25 I think.

Original spec:
Thought I’d seen that before. Nice find.
(I had to make an instrument vice to drawings, and design 3 different means of holding it in any position 360, updown, 180 and clamp to the bench, and NOT be a direct copy of the Eclipse. Then build the better of the 3. For my EWTP exams)
I've replaced my Makita drill twice now, plastic gearbox packed up both times, the batteries were good which is why I bought a replacement body. They're obviously not designed very well as the same thing happened in the replacement, they have done me good service to be fair.
It was time for an upgrade though, much better and worlds apart in quality.

The missus is starting to worry me.. package arrived at her mums. She says it feels like a 'nameplate', what have you been buying ?? I am racking my brains trying to think 
When i get my hands on it and open it up all becomes clear..
@doubleboost has shipped a pressie to me
. Three of his finest 3MT tooling racks. So the afternoon was taken up cleaning them up by removing a bit of plasma slag.
Task two was to bend and then get them wipped over with some thinners.
On to primer and some satin black.
Much appreciated John, will post in all there glory once affixed and loaded with Drills

The text says that it has interchangeable jaws (the upside down one in the picture has a different moving jaw), so you might find or make one of those too.

Battery is AGM so maybe that's why...won't leak if it's dropped maybe?
Careful there laddie they ( West Auckland ) once won the world football cup.
