Snap on hand tools, if you use them every day and need them for a living absolutely. As a gear head in the garage, not so much. My dad is a mechanic, bought a snap on everything in the 70s and still uses all of them the original set to this day. Beating them pounding them, still going. I just use craftsmen and they work just fine, but I only use them in the garage and don't rely on them for living.
I bought quite a few Snap-On tools when I was working at the dealership, but now, many years later, I have an assortment of brands. Even Harbor Freight offers a lifetime warranty on most of their tools.
The Two more payments comment is funny ! I’m guessing this was a Wilton,Rebranded for Snap On ? Then marked up 300% yes I know. They come to you and Service it plus Warranty it !
I was very impressed to see you use only a modest and restrained amount of grease during assembly. Many people slather on enough to sink a battleship which just oozes out everywhere and makes a mess. It was a very careful and thoughtful restoration.
At first I thought, $400 for a vise, but then when you start tearing it down and you see the build quality of the part and the effort you put into it. I understand. What an amazing job you did!
I appreciate that you showed the majority of the sandblasting process, most restoration channels show a few clips then skips to the finished pieces. Love watching sandblasting.
Snap on is a good brand and has been here for a long time. I’ve always been an advocate of good quality tools. I recently at age 70 bought a $250.00 carpenter’s hammer. I couldn’t afford it till now.
I’m proud of the Wilton 8300 that I rebuilt, but wow! What beautiful work you did on this. (Which is identical to the Wilton.) Be blessed by the loving salvation of God.
Snap-On is worth it for sure. If for no other reason they were once at the Top of us mechanics for tool choice & quality . That Lathe is perfect for doing restoration work 👍
Not anymore, lol. Snap on used to have great manufacturing materials and great manufacturing partners like the one that branded their own vice with snap-on for them (this video). But not anymore. They have great tools, their ratchets are still phenomenal. But their sockets, especially the impact sockets have taken a steep downturn. I've had a Pittsburgh socket i picked up from harbor freight about 5 years ago because my snap on one broke and the truck hadn't come by yet. Grabbed a new snap-on socket from the truck. I've had to warranty that socket 5 times now, it kept splitting. My Pittsburgh is still going strong, and I've used it more than the snap-on. Been through more abuse too.
@@doodlecaboodle9298sounds like he didn’t come back because your cheap ass only paid him $10 a week. So why would he come back to warranty your socket? You say they’re not the best when they are literally the only tool truck brand to still manufacture their own tools here in the US. Mac damn sure doesn’t, and everything matco sells are rebranded harbor freight tools. On top of that, they’re so expensive as a result of using US materials and building here. There are some exceptions but there’s not a better tool around. I’ve had plenty of harbor freight tools, they’re all ass compared to my snap-on stuff. I like Milwaukee, but their power tools are lacking in power to my snap on ones. I’ve had plenty experience with both to know. If you can’t tell the difference, you aren’t using your tools enough🤷🏻♂️
These are so enjoyable to watch. There something so satisfying in seeing an item that has been used/neglected and watching the process of it being taken back to it's original form and redone. It puts me in such a zen state watching the transformation. The funny thing too is that looks very similar to my Wilton bullet vice. EDIT Just realized on the side it say 1750! That's the exact one my Wilton is! So nice. Saving this video for when I want to restore mine!!
Good work on the restoration. I really like the addition of the rubber O-rings on the main vice handle to help with the clinking when letting it fall. Always a great and satisfying watch, I look forward to the next upload!
Sweet, you got a metal lathe, and a nice vice better than new. I can't think of anybody that deserves it more than you. I like them tool restoration videos.
I immediately knew when I saw JOHN 3: 16 this was going to be a great video. Love the vintage 70’s Craftsman Bench grinder. I think it’s safe to say this Snap-on Vise is better than new. Beautiful job. I wish you the best with that VEVOR Lathe. I have an Atlas 10" Lathe a friend gave me and a few Wilton Bullet Vises, I can’t believe how expensive these Vises are. I love old machinery, Vises and Machinists Clamps. I have a miniature Starrett Machinist vise, it’s just beautiful too... Great Video brother.
I restored a Wilton 1750 a few years ago and then promptly put it back in service. It didn't take long to get it dirty, scratched, burned and dinged up. I always struggle with restoration of a work item, because they are beautiful until they are used the way they were intended.
Real nice! I restored a huge columbia a few years ago. I used a dry lube on the screw so it wouldn't attract dirt. Also used boiled linseed oil and set the parts out in the sun on a hot summer day. It has an aged metal look and no signs of rust. They don't make them like they used to, that's for sure.
That's some incredible restoration work you did. If I'd done that restoration, I would be hesitant to actually use that vise because it looks so beautiful.
Can't be sure if mine is Model 1750 or not, but seeing this makes me want to redo my vise. Mine still is in use and works pretty good. Thanks for sharing!!
This is an easy restoration. Someone that might be just getting into, or thinking about getting into restoring old items. should start with something like this.
Now I'm confused about where to keep the vise in the garage or in the kitchen Because this looks very much like the Kitchen Aid mixer 😂 Good neat job sir 👍
Always enjoy your restoration videos! I recently had found your channel and literally just caught up on all of your videos this past week! Was waiting for a New one and Voila!, here it is, another great restoration! I especially like your eye for detail in your work, it truly makes the difference! Thanks for always sharing and keep up the great work!
Superb vid & wonderful to watch the attention to detail you put into this project. I very much like the particular vice too, I`ve never seen one in the UK before & to my eyes quite unique in design.
Yep! From what I understand, Wilton made them, they were painted red and put a Snap-on name plate on the side. I actually bought the replacement name plates from Wilton. Have a great day!
I cleaned up and re painted and greased an old wilton C-1 with pipe jaws, casting marks had the body of the vise cast in 1947. Thissnap on shape looks a lot like the old wiltons
It is a wilton tradesman, I got lucky a few year's ago and found one in goodwill for $40 , but it had no tag and mine is the original wilton color, through research to find out what I had I learned they were also painted red and sold as snap off,
I usually skip to the end but I watched this video from start to finish. Amzing work bud. Instant sub! Looking forward to more videos. Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🤙
EASILY one of the highest level vise restoration videos I've ever seen. My favorite part was the "hard shell" looking paint job, and as always the smoothing the casting after full paint rust removal. Things I am curious about, not sure if they are flaws or not - 1. painting the ring on the base that the vise swivels on. 2. no film of grease on the large cylinder, 3 is the JB weld the best product to fill metal holes? it might be...4. the cold bluing - is that a one and done application or do you have to keep re applying over time?
Saw a journeyman toolmaker of 40 years loose a thumb using sandpaper on a lathe the exact same way. Clamp the ends of the sand paper in vise grips and keep the paper much shorter so it can’t wrap around the workpiece. Awesome restoration though!
Hi! After you filed down the rough Surface, what is the grit of sandpaper that you start to use to smooth things down? What are the different grits that you use? I see that you finish at 1500 grit sand paper. Could you please elaborate on the various grits of sand paper. Thanks!

@BrokenMachine7230 disagree wholeheartedly, if i was a billionaire i still wouldnt buy strap ons

remove cast lines.
How much to restore mine? I have the same vise, pretty sentimental and I’d love to have it redone
Legend has it, the original guy who purchased the vise only has two payments left!
Excellent restoration!!! Beautiful!!
Poor guy! Literally 😁 have a great week!
😀
If you bought the Wilton version....$150. If you bought the identical snap-on branded Wilton made vise....$500
The Two more payments comment is funny ! I’m guessing this was a Wilton,Rebranded for Snap On ? Then marked up 300% yes I know. They come to you and Service it plus Warranty it !
@@craigmonteforte6111 I sure hope you are kidding about coming to you being a justification for their indentured servitude business model.
Snap On wants their vise back now. It wasn't that good looking when it was new off the Line. Bravo Great Work!
I was very impressed to see you use only a modest and restrained amount of grease during assembly. Many people slather on enough to sink a battleship which just oozes out everywhere and makes a mess. It was a very careful and thoughtful restoration.
Thanks much! I appreciate it! Have a great rest of your week!
Im a sucker for vise restorations. I brought back to life an unmolested 1947 Wilton HD 4" bullet vise. Ever since then, im hooked
I'm curious. What is the average prison time for molesting a vise these days?
Sweet! Good work!
Unmolested 🤔
@@CaptainPudwhy, did you get caught with your pecker stuck in a vice? Lololol 🤣
Narrow understanding of words.
At first I thought, $400 for a vise, but then when you start tearing it down and you see the build quality of the part and the effort you put into it. I understand. What an amazing job you did!
yeah and that is still for the super used version of it, they can go for 1-2k new!
Que. Elegancia de restauración mejor que nueva 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌
Somebody still paying monthly for this vise😂
Probably lol
Weekly and if they defaulted, Snap-On put a garnishment on the paycheck and a 1099 for undeclared income.
It is a Craftman. See at 4:00.
I have never ever once seen this joke before….. ever…. Thanks for the comment!
😂😂😂
Yes - a Snap-On vise is just a rebranded American Made Wilton Bullet Vise painted red. EXCELLENT vise though!!
I’m pretty happy with it. It’s probably the nicest vise I will ever own! Thanks for the comment and have a blessed weekend
WOW.... I REALLY LOVE THAT SUPER OLD CRAFTSMAN GRINDER. glad to see it still in good working order..
I appreciate that you showed the majority of the sandblasting process, most restoration channels show a few clips then skips to the finished pieces. Love watching sandblasting.
I would be afraid to use this vise, it's so beautiful.

It's a Wilton 1750 with a snap on badge thrown on it
Nice job🤌 i love old vises... I would've been a little bit more generous with the grease though

I’ll stick to harbor freight.
I am sorry but I had to watch this again
It is awesome
I appreciate it!
It's refreshing to see someone actually using "paint" vs. powder coat.
Thanks! Someone else said they would have powder coated it. We all have an opinion and that is good! 👍

I put o rings on my woodwork vices to help protect my grand children's fingers
You no doubt made that old vise look better than it did when it was new. It was an amazing job.
My father was a Snap-on Tools field manager (#1 in eastern US) for 30 years. This vice looks identical to the vice he has in his garage.

@@RachealJacobs-e2i AMEN, Sister.
Great job on restoring that vise. What a beautiful thing. Very much worth the time and care put into giving that a new life.
Wow! That’s it-just WOW! Wonderful job on this restoration. Please keep cranking out these videos.
More to come! Thanks for the support! Have a blessed day!
Very Good job 😊
Thank you!!
Great restoration! The chrome with the coulours realy makes the vise POP. It is a good vise having the other inner jaws for round section clamping.
Thank you very much! I think it will be handy to have around the shop!
Very impressive restoration. Beautifully finished! Thanks 👍
I restored a Wilton 1750 a few years ago and then promptly put it back in service. It didn't take long to get it dirty, scratched, burned and dinged up. I always struggle with restoration of a work item, because they are beautiful until they are used the way they were intended.
I just kept saying wow. Every detail is perfectly restored. A fantastic job!
I've rebuilt several large vises. They take a lot of time to degrease, paint strip, prime, paint, and oil....but the satisfaction is wow.
Thanks much! And yes it does take some time!
Absolutely beautiful. Not just some quick paint job like in other videos on this subject. Attention to detail was excellent.well done. Paul from 🇬🇧 uk
Thanks so much Paul! I appreciate it. Have a great week!
The vice is better than it left factory. Amazed at the minute details, Greetings from India
Thanks much and greetings to you!
Real nice!

Absolutely beautiful job! I’m sure it didn’t look that nice when it was new!
Thank you! 😊 have a great day!
I reckon Snap-on would be amazed at how good their vise looks. Fantastic restoration!
High quality restoration, 10x better than a new snap on vise.👍👍
I would be afraid to use it, it looks amazing…well done 👍🏻
your work and attention to detail is incredible!
Thank you very much! Have a great week!
Usually the base is broken from not properly clinched down snap on makes awesome tools totally worth it
Awesome job, young man; I enjoy your videos very much. May the Lord bless you. Warm regards from Mexico.
Thank you very much! I appreciate that. Warm regards from the USA. Blessing on you and your family!
That's some incredible restoration work you did. If I'd done that restoration, I would be hesitant to actually use that vise because it looks so beautiful.
I know what you are saying but as painful as it is to me, this one has already went back to work!
Damn it! I never like sponsored ads, but I’m going to click on the link afterwards. Thanks Vevor.
Молодец, дядька.
Thanks much
You are a repair genius, thank you for letting me know about your work❤🎉
Thanks much!! Have a great week!

Very, very well done. I usually don't care for red, but that is impressive.
Thank you very much! Red was the original color but another color would have been nice as well. That being said I do like the red. Have a great week!
What a fantastic job of restoration, that would look good on the end of my work bench. Well done sir!!!!!
Thank you very much! And I bet it would lol thanks for the comment and have a great weekend!

Superb vid & wonderful to watch the attention to detail you put into this project. I very much like the particular vice too, I`ve never seen one in the UK before & to my eyes quite unique in design.
Too nice to use. I'd put it on my desk and use it as a paper weight !
Lol I’ll be using it. Might be painful though….
To take something that's old and beat up and make it look better than new is a person who has appreciation for his toys...
Bet your pieces look better than they did new!!! Good job!!
Thanks much! Have a great week!
I bought my son a 4 inch mechanics vice for a birthday present. Not quite as expensive as that one when new, but a very gratefully received present.
Very cool! That is a great gift. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
If it wasn't for the Snap-on nameplates on this, I'd have assumed it was a Wilton bullet vice. They are so similar.
It is
Yep! From what I understand, Wilton made them, they were painted red and put a Snap-on name plate on the side. I actually bought the replacement name plates from Wilton. Have a great day!
They probably made this one!
This is of a trade man’s vise then an actual bullet vise.
Trademen yes. And wilton likely did make it. P.S. i just read above comments. Don't roast me please
Wow! Beautiful restoration!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I would not use it again. Instead it would become the centerpiece on my China cabinet 😊! Well done!
Thank you! 😊 it would make a nice paper weight 😁
Работа проделана титаническая, итог превзошёл все ожидания. Дерзкий братан дальше, видосы и реставрации у тебя интересные. Спасибо и лайк🙏.
Thanks much! I appreciate it! Have a blessed week!
You went out and bought a brand new vise to fool us - admit it. I watched @ normal speed front to back. (rare for me) 10/10
Better that when it came out of the Wilton factory. Great job.
Thanks 👍 have a great week!
Brilliant work, well done. It looks great. Keep up the excellent work. I look forward to more videos 👏
Beautiful workmanship

Hello mister beautiful restoration beautifully restored good job well done

Nicely done. Looks great.

Hi!
After you filed down the rough Surface, what is the grit of sandpaper that you start to use to smooth things down? What are the different grits that you use? I see that you finish at 1500 grit sand paper.
Could you please elaborate on the various grits of sand paper. Thanks!
Beautiful job, I'd be too scared to use it after putting all the effort into making it shine like that. A work of art!
Agreed. However I did use it quick on my up-coming project. A bit painful I might add! Lol
Beautiful job! It’s better than new now.
Thank you! 😊
Very satisfying to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it! Have a great day!
The job you did there is fantastic
Incredible job as usual, better than new.
I appreciate it! Have a great weekend!
Wow didn't know Snap On made vises back in 1750. A true American original.
They didn’t. That’s the model number.
Beautiful result! It looks too pretty to use now, LOL!
Im going to use it but I’ll feel bad the first time I put a ding in it… it’s bound to happen! Lol have a great week!
