    Very cool. I just finished restoring my grandfather’s 1941 or 42 Wilton bullet vice that he used in his auto repair shop since he got back from WWII. It’s still smooth after all these years... until you use it, you can’t appreciate how much better it is than the Chinese vice I’d been using for the last 10 years.

    I found a Wilton 1755 with 5 1/2" jaws in a dumpster at work. I asked my boss about it and he told me to take it if I wanted it. It was complete, nothing missing at all.

Not only is that background light nicely soft (and slightly warm) but you have an excellent broad light on the benchtop. All that shiny metal could have had a bunch of hard hot spots but it looks great. The shot where you hold up the screw was just luscious -- nice soft highlight along the entire length. This video is technically very well done.

    When I pulled it free and seen it was flawless the sky opened up and the sun shine hit it . One of the best finds ever. All is true except the sun part😁. My dad has the size up from mine. Used it as a kid and knew it was the vise to have. Great video Cody, if you ever get a chance stop by, I'm repairing a shop

To use them to weight aircraft they have to be certified every year. One was broken. I contacted the manufacturer and they said they had one guy who was still around who could work and certify them. When they sent them back to me the guy thanked me for sending them in, that he had forgotten how great those old scales were. This was in 2005 I think. It’s been a while.

Matter of fact it was in such good shape the NAPA we got it from displayed it with their other wilton hammers.

    Very Nice Vise... I bought a 5 or 6 inch unbranded vice from a scrap yard and restored it, and have used it for a lot of work. Would love to get a nice Wilton, just need a real shop to put it in first LoL

    Unless tools are a little dented, chipped, even a little rusty, I can't use it. That Wilton I would feel belongs under glass. I beautiful piece of machinery is a work of art. Or maybe I'm weird.

      I see it as a privilege to use an immaculate piece of engineering and see the character and patina grow on it. You and your tool walk the journey together, it tells the tale of skills being learned and art being honed.

    Kearney & Trecker provided their apprenticees with this size Wilton Vices for mounting on their Tool Boxes back in early 60's.
    I have a very Large Wilton , a bit beat up, and the jaws are a bit rounded off, but it works Very Well, and I think 20 + years ago I bought it from a guy for $40.00. It was exactly what I was looking for.
    I also have a couple of Large Columbian Vices, they are well made also. The Columbian vices we had mounted everywhere around the plant at Kearney & Trecker

    My father gave me one of these and my son and I restored it this past spring. It is so smooth that I had to track down some new models to see if they were just as smooth. Sadly they are not.
    Someone correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that the earliest versions of this vise came with acorn nuts for locking the vise on the base.

      Exactly! The Made in Czech Republic York Vice is the original, the man who found the Wilton company, worked in the York factory, then vent to US, and foud his own business. York is the original, Wilton is basically a copy.

    I dont think any other country has produced a vise as beautiful as the wilton, especially the early ones. Its both beautiful, precision and lead screw is hidden away from the elements. Its THE vise to have in the workshop, will put a smile on your face every time you see one! I have the baby bullet, on the hunt for a vintage C1 wilton and of course a 3.5" or a 4" as well 🙂.
