Wow, ive had this exact vise in my service van for almost 7 months now. and you just showed me the god damn handle moves! Things been in my way a dozen times i would never of thought to see if it pulls out like that. Thank you good sir!
Love the product reviews, I bought one of these a few years back and I love the convenience of it, it lives behind the seat in my pick up and it's so easy to fit for those roadside repairs that pop up, they also have a bracket that fits over the hitch section that you can bolt on a work bench or any solid mounting spot. I have a nudge bar that I made a 2'' hitch point for so I can use it on the front of the vehicle as well.
First and Foremost, Awesome T-Shirt👊 The VA and the USA government needs to help those who gave their services in every way a lot more than they do. Wilton is a reputable vice Mfg. My dad had one on his workbench in the basement and it couldn't be beat, I mean we tortured it and it held up. Very cool design, that should give you years of service without any issues👍
I have a small garage so I have this to mount under my Bench Solutions folding bench. It's been useful and dependable for years. The best thing is I don't bash my shins on it when the bench is folded down.
I took a piece of hitch reciever tubing and welded to my fab table which is 4x4x3eights square tubing 7ft sumx3ft sum on casters probably half a ton, anyway all my stuff is adapted to 2x2 tubing I mobile work also so everything is compatible from shop to truck
I've had this vise for about 5 years on the back of a work truck and it still works after the abuse. Wilton has separate bench mount clips and thats what i got to put on the bumper instead. Pretty sloppy but i shimmer it so its nice and tight. One time the truck was backed up and the vise hit a wall pretty hard and eventually the mechanism detached from the thread that turns it to open and close. I took it apart and drilled a 1/2" diameter nut to a 5/8" hole and welded it then welded a 3/4" x 1/2" drive socket to that and use a breaker bar as a handle or even an impact at times on slow speed lol. The threaded rod is bent some but it still works and been like that for like 2 years. Exact Replacement jaws were hard to find as well and i ended up getting irwin 5" jaws and the holes didnt match up so i drill and tapped 2 new holes although 1 was insanely close to the old hole but off so it didnt work well. Welded the sides of the jaws. Also the carry handle is a nice spot to vise grip things to it that is too big or something for a vise. I like the vise alot and would recommend and its convenient cuz i can take it home from work and throw in the hitch of my truck. O and the breaker bar handle provides great leverage and i actually prefer it lol
Fireball Tool did a vice showdown video a while back and this one was in it. If I remember right, it didn't fair too well compared to all the other regular bench vices, but he was taking them to their breaking point. Normal use likely won't take it anywhere near that far.
@@SomeGuysGarage i watched his video and i didn't see any rigging as you say. i bought his hardtail vice as a gift to myself. it just came in.the thing is huge. i was never impressed with wilton , ever. i always liked Record vice out of UK. really good vice. have a few of them in my shop.
At 6'3" I couldn't imagine having to do any work on a vice so low to the ground. That's the main problem I see with it. But it's also unique to tall people.
Sooo putting a pipe or something you need to cut on the vice.. is a bad idea ? just stand up and cut it.. better than stepping on the pipe on a curb with your feet
Pretty cool. I do fencing and we are always bending steel tamping bars back into shape after some heavy rock prying. This is alot better than slipping off a truck frame and falling on your ass in the driveway..
In this video you should have had you bare foot on the vice to give you proper leverage when demonstring the hammering of the steel plate. This is industry standard knowledge for all product demonstrators.
Hey Brother! I i really enjoy your short clips where you show the world the best lifehacks and your reaction. 😂 i really enjoy. Thank you! Greetings from Germany
Very cool vice I've never seen one like this before. I think my new service van will have a pull out toe bar Going to see if I can get them in SA Thanks Enjoy your content
Great review I love vice's whoever invented them good on you 👏 I have 3 in my small workshop different sizes in my defence my wife says I'm a bit sad 😂😂
I've seen them before but I didn't know about the ratcheting handle. If you did leave it in the hitch being able to move the handle so it don't hang down would be real nice. I could see that getting bent if it was dangling.
I love my vice identical to yours overall had it for 6 years does what i intend it to beat things with a sledge all day long things I don’t like - siezes up over time in road dust so once a year leave it in a pail of used oil overnight - handle i hated so i cut it off drilled a hole through surprisingly easy and made a sliding handle on it that cam mechanism seized up immediately on me
The Wilton Shinbuster 3000. More extension and more sharp edges than any trailer hitch on the market today. Walk around behind your truck today and enjoy the benefits. Better than any language software available for rapidly expanding your vocabulary. I love it!! 😂
I had one in a work van that I had once. Two things that I could not stand were how much it moves around and how low it is. Might think about getting a 2 inch receiver and mounting to top of bumper to make it higher.
I have a five inch Wilton bullet vise made in 1972. It’s a monster. Does everything I want it to do and has performed quite well over the years. On the other hand, I bought a 4 inch Wilton mechanic’s vise five years ago. Biggest POS vise I’ve ever owned. A year into using it I tightened down on it with just my hands and stretched the threads in the thread box. Sucks because the hardware store where I bough it went out of business. No prospect of refund, exchange or adjustment on a new one. 👎👎👎 for Wilton made vices these days. Whipple
Why don’t you contact Wilton for a warranty replacement parts? I’ve been hitting up every company that I’ve had problems with their tools lately and had good luck getting taken care of.👍
I just saw a short you gotta see, dude built a concrete retaining wall behind a house along a creek bank. but he didn't pour it ,he just stacked bags of concrete up and splashed it with water . He did look professional with his hard hat, and reflector jacket😂. Ps liked the advice on the vise , harbor frieght sells a hitch vise I wonder how the quality compares to this one ,thanks for the video .also they sell a rattle stop device but it's only worth it if your going to leve something in your hitch for long periods.
I love companies that try to reinvent the wheel. That half handle with the pull out cam seems like something problematic as it ages and gets abused. It's more complicated than it needs to be, with some internal spring loaded collar with teeth on it probably.
Looks like you need to fab up a riser bud, id raise it up 30 sum inches, whatever a ridgid pipe vice is would becmy preferance, little drilling an pin you could make it adjustable up and down
You can also use a piece of 2" stock to make a receiver for your workbench at home/shop. Oh, and we call those girls at the bar "cougars", cause it sounds better than washed up bar slut! Have a great day, Sir! o7
I’m sure if it was a sloppy fit you could easily make extra shims if you needed to swap the 35 year old from the bar for a 60 sixty year old sister of mercy in a penguin dress, just a thought. 🐧
I have a Wilton 4 pound Mini sledge it unbreakable according to the handle my uncle gave it to me last year after I broke my Handle on my 4 pound mini sledge I don't know how I broke Axa handle. But I did only time will tell if it truly is unbreakable or not I was forced to slow down last year do to surgery but I'm gaining my stem back every day
I learned something (and im smart ass) so kudos Wes thanks man I didn't know these existed and it looks pretty good quality aswel, the ratchet is pretty neat aswel I wonder if they did that to stop the bar jumping about when your driving around, probably, I think you will get a lot of use out of that little beast.. Thanks for making this video Steve

I like the idea of the ratchet handle.
I agree.
That is cool. I didn’t even know about till opened the box 😁
I whole heartedly love that feature never seen a ratcheting one before
I’ve seen guys weld on anvils to make it ratchet.

I might get that bench mount. It might be helpful to have it up higher.

You could also use a 12” drop-down hitch receptacle in conjunction and flip it for added height.

@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 It really just depends what your doing and if your doing it once or for 8 hrs.
They make a fold out mount that sits at a nice height
A vise? Alls you need is a cinder block and a hairy big toe to secure your work!
Nice to see Wilton is still making some good products, and according to the website they are even assembled in the US.
I have one of those. I love it. Back the truck in the shop and use as needed.
Pretty cool. I do fencing and we are always bending steel tamping bars back into shape after some heavy rock prying. This is alot better than slipping off a truck frame and falling on your ass in the driveway..
I love your vids man, I’m not in the trades and still find your tool reviews and shorts entertaining as hell.
You're going to appreciate it the first time you use it. Nice one.
I was just thinking you sound like a smoker today then you coughed 😂 looser than a 35 and settle down , absolute gold man 😂😂😂😂😂

I'm really glad you made this video. I've been thinking about getting one for my work van and this set me over to get it
Very cool vice
I've never seen one like this before.
I think my new service van will have a pull out toe bar
Going to see if I can get them in SA
Thanks
Enjoy your content
I'm kind of disappointed, i taught in a truly channel fashion you were going to have the guy on sandals with the toe nail fungus installed the vise
Great review I love vice's whoever invented them good on you 👏 I have 3 in my small workshop different sizes in my defence my wife says I'm a bit sad 😂😂
It's a vise. A vice is what I have that I'd rather watch this video than work. ☺
Nice 👍🏻

I mounted mine on top of the bumper so it’s easier to work off
I did not know this existed. I need that.
You da man funk whoop whoop
😎👍🏻
I didn't know they made those....
The ones I've seen were all homemade by welding people.....
Nice job.
That ratchet handle is brilliant. Just what the bar girl needs..
LoL 😝
Wilton sledgehammers are by far the best. Ive used them in deep sea welding for the duration of my career and currently use them in my concrete career
That's a good looking vice. I need a new one. If yours is 35 and single, mine is 55 and thrice divorced. Lol
This is for those king of all shin shots.
I have one of these on my company truck, it is super convenient and good quality.
With your van having a two and a half inch hitch this will give you the chance to build a hitch riser to get the vide up to working height
I got one of those on the back of my service truck they're awesome 👍
The Wilton Shinbuster 3000. More extension and more sharp edges than any trailer hitch on the market today. Walk around behind your truck today and enjoy the benefits. Better than any language software available for rapidly expanding your vocabulary.

Work smarter not harder!

Nice 😜👍🏻
You get a 10 on the hitch hack! Looks good, there you go.
I'd like the jumping action 😅
"looser than that girl at the bar ...." --that's classic!
Wes harbor freight sells an adapter sleeve for 2" to 2-1/2" hitches. $20 is what I paid about 2 years ago.
Showing that thing off, this video needs an NSFW label.

I not sure about the HF hitch stuff. I am sure you can get the same thing from Amazon cheaper like all their stuff.
Man it'd be awesome if I had a set of those pipe wrenches that you were using
I’ve this vice or at an identical one for my truck for about 8 years. I’ll have to check brand. Looks exactly the same.
Great tool!
I love companies that try to reinvent the wheel. That half handle with the pull out cam seems like something problematic as it ages and gets abused. It's more complicated than it needs to be, with some internal spring loaded collar with teeth on it probably.
Might have to get one myself
Loose 35 year old from a bar or an All Terrain Vice...
Difficult choice after few beers
They make and or there should be a sleeve in the truck possibly for the 2.5 to 2in hitch receiver to take up most of the slop
A Wilton made in China?!?!? Wow, that’s a sad day. I have several old Wiltons made in the USA, I think they are maybe the finest vises ever forged.
Honestly, im into it.
I would like a video of how it does in the future too see how it holds up
Good video.
The Shin Destroyer 3000
I would maybe make a riser out of box with gussets to save you bending as far
I might buy a bench mount for it and put in on the floor at the back door 👍🏻
“She’s as loose as the 35 year old girl sitting at the bar” 💀
Nubs can probably help you fashion a spacer to keep it tight in the receiver.
It’ll only cost me one finger 😂
I'd use that for the drives that like to tailgate you in traffic. Guaranteed more damage to inpatient drives. ^-^
Bud, use that welder of yours and lay two vertical beads to the receiver. It won’t get stolen and won’t wobble.
The only problem with that is I’ll walk into it at least once a day 😁
@@FunkFPV I promise you won’t. Muscle memory. I had one similar on my 550.
Add a dual hitch extender for different height positions.
That's awesome, I had no idea it existed. I wonder if it wiggles less in a regular two inch receiver. Thanks funk.
I bit it does wiggle less. There’s a good bit of slop in the adapter.
Looks like you need to fab up a riser bud, id raise it up 30 sum inches, whatever a ridgid pipe vice is would becmy preferance, little drilling an pin you could make it adjustable up and down
You could mount it with a locking pin harder to steal.

Oh, and we call those girls at the bar "cougars", cause it sounds better than washed up bar slut!
Have a great day, Sir! o7
Haha 😜👍🏻
I might get some of that 2” stock. It’s probably cheaper than the bench mount they sell.
Use it once and it will pay for itself.
So the vice is worth the squeeze. 🤭
😁😁
I'll take that 35 year old girl at the bar.........
We all do 🫡
I’m sure if it was a sloppy fit you could easily make extra shims if you needed to swap the 35 year old from the bar for a 60 sixty year old sister of mercy in a penguin dress, just a thought. 🐧
Take 10 plastic bag soak them and gasoline and rap the vice in it then mount it to hich. Poke out the pin hole it not going anywhere then.
Next time you work outside, BE BAREFOOT. I dare you.
I have sensitive feet 😊
I have a Wilton 4 pound Mini sledge
it unbreakable according to the handle my uncle gave it to me last year after I broke my Handle on my 4 pound mini sledge I don't know how I broke Axa handle. But I did only time will tell if it truly is unbreakable or not I was forced to slow down last year do to surgery but I'm gaining my stem back every day
Amazon has a 2" to 2-1/2" adapter for $16.
I just looked it up, and they only have 5 left in stock.
Nice
1:35 Oh my!! 😳😳🤭🤭
A year later, how do you like this? Does the wobble in the receiver drive you nuts?
I think that if you need to manipulate a pipe bigger than the mating of your car you might need to invest in the truck before attaching this vice.
I would hate to bash my shin on that, damn!
That would make me say bad words 😜
A riser is available
You're cool
What if you took a drop down hitch adapter and reversed it? You could pick up 6 or so inches in height.
I’m going to look into that 👍🏻
hello my friend loved that pipe wrench !!! was that a robo jaws pipe wrench ?
That was a SnapOn I bought 20 years ago. Probably paid too much but it’s a great wrench.

Keep the adapter and vise tube lubed with lanolin or grease. A small amount of rust in between will drive you nuts. Sounds like sex advice too.
I'd want to shim it so it's not wobbling while I work.
Love ya, Brother, but I gotta say it...
_vise*_
😘
You should put receiver tube on the bumper. Your backs going to be killing you bending over that low to use it.
Bend at the knees, not at the back. Words to live by and you won't have back issues, just knee issues 😂.
Interesting
🎉thin shims will help with the wiggling
