I’ve been looking for a new vice for months. Now I know why o can’t find any. You have them all.
I found one 5.5" Craftsman at a garage sale in like new condition for $15. Don't give up but make sure you check out garage sales, This vise wasn't for sale but the lady called her son and he said $15 was ok as long as I removed it. Her husband had passed away. I also picked up a 6" bench grinder for $10.
@@denniswhite166 I hit yard sales every week. It is the law of large numbers. Look enough and you find stuff. The trouble is it can take a while to find whatever you're looking for though. It usually takes me a few years to run across any specific tool I may be looking for. In the meantime though I always find something I buy.
Along with eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Mercari, Antique shops, Flea Markets, Swap Meets, Surplus Auctions, School Auctions, And, on very rare occasion, places like LumberJocks. I can guarantee you: give me specs on a vise and I can find one for you in 20 minutes, to spec (barring some of the really esoteric ones). May not be the PRICE you want to pay, but I promise you: they're not that hard to locate.
I love thinking about the work that those tools helped with. All the hammer blows, the blood and sweat. Ok, maybe not a whole lot of blood but definitely lots of sweat. Lots of history. Lots of work. Keep up the rescue, repair and restoration of our shared history. It’s appreciated.
Dude you’re videos make it hard for me to get any work done because I’m binge watching your awesome videos so please don’t stop them and keep up the awesome work
Underrated! Thank you very much for that amount of info!
Every time I thought this video was over, you started showing more vises. And I watched the whole thing even though I don't need a vise. You explained everything very clearly, which I guess kept me watching. Well done.
I collect vise's and have I have few. I use them in my leather work but this video was very helpful in telling me there true job. I am always picking them up at yard sales. Great video. Glad I came across it. Your a great speaker very educational . Thanks.
For anyone who collects vises, there is also a "saw vise", For sharpening hand saws. Pretty unique looking vise. Have a regular size one and a mini one.
I have a number of vises and have to say that was an excellent presentation of the benefits of each type, nice job.
Nice. Another man suffering from the vise vice. Thanks for sharing!
I have that exact same Allied multi-vise you show at 3:45. I got it at Harbor Freight in 1991 and it's still going strong. Been thinking about upgrading to the Doyle version they sell now since it's made from ductile iron and would handle errant hammer blows better.
Very interesting information here. I guess I ended up here because I was looking for more information on a vintage vise I have that's made by American Red Seal. I'm surprised I didn't see any in your collection. Thanks for the videos!
Thanks a bunch now I have a few ideas to look for my first vice ~ beginner wood worker and general fixer of things. I love learning new skills so I really appreciate your videos.
Love the content! One critique is that the hole on the back of the mechanics vise is a pritchel, not a hardy hole. Hardy holes are square. Pritchels are meant for knocking out pins, etc.
Thanks for tutorial. Never understood the purpose of post vises, now I do!
Great to see the variety all in one place. I have Just about every style you show here with an additional compound vice with X and Y axis. On my list is a rotary as well. Cheers! Zip~
Like the video. I collected a bunch of vises too. Mostly older usa made stuff. Thanks for sharing!
I've got an 8 inch jaw Wilton mechanic vise that opens like 12-14inches and weighs like 130-150 lbs. Well worth the $1500 she cost. I'd buy another one in a heart beat.
I love everyhing i see. Great collection
I just realized I knew about 1% about vices, a great video, I learned a lot!
This video is exactly what I needed. Thanks.
AWESOME! THANKS! FOR YEARS I THOUGHT DOUBLE SWIVEL MECHANICS VISES WERE A GIMMICK TOO, BUT MY GUT WOULD TELL ME I NEED ONE IN THE SHOP FROM TIME TO TIME..... NOW IM SOLD, ILL PROBABLY USE IT FOR TONS OF STUFF LIKE YOU TOO ... GONNA BUY NEXT GOOD ONE I COME ACROSS!! THANKS GREAT VIDS...
Awesome stuff Chris!
One of my favorite vises is the cross slide vise. I use one on my bench top drill press...allows me to do some basic milling without a milling machine. Good vid.
Right on fellow ghetto machinist! Me too, BTW!
just found your site, love it, very informative.
Amazing video explaining vises! Thank You!!!
I bought a Brinks and Cotton 2.5 in. vise today...thanks for intro to different types of vises.
An excellent video, Very informative.
Excellent presentation. Keep it up!
Vises are your vise! Great video, I subscribed.
I thought the only vice I needed was vodka. Now I realize I need like 4 different ones. Great video bro. Thanks for the ad"vise". (God I'm brilliant.). Honestly, you answered all my questions I had regarding types/quality. Great video, much appreciated. I'm officially vise shopping now that I have more info.
My father taught me to never use a drill without a vise and to clamp them down. That was over 55 years ago (I was 10 yo) and I always do it. I've never had a problem - Thanks Dad.
I used to never use a drill without a vise but some of the drills I have now are so damn big they wont hardly fit in the vise so lately I have just quit using a vise all together ;p
@@me3333 Is getting a bigger vise not in your budget?
One big enough to fit the drill press in is definitely out of my budget... I was just making jokes LOL
20 jerk offs gave you a thumbs down. 🤦🏻♂️ Great video my man. Had no idea we had this many vices in the world.
Cool collection 👍
WOW very impressive with your collection i had 2 baby vices that i founf for $10 bucks at garage sales last week i got one for REED -little older than the one you have here- for $30 dollars best deal ever, i restored it and i uploaded it to my channel thanx for sharing man
Thanks you. Very educational.
Thanks for the info! 👍👊
Excellent video.
Magnificent explanation...
Good vid mang.i love yer collection of vises.very informative.what auctions do you buy from?
Learned a lot 🖖👍
Thank you for the ad-vice
Very informative video.. thanks a lot for this outstanding effort.. [LIKED]
Can you tell me the difference/pros/cons between a vice that has a screw type opening and closing mechanism and one that looks like a metal beam or bar? Also, these vises are beautiful and I love that you're totally geeking out on them.
Good job, Sir!
I’m a sucker for a vise
Hi just obtained a vise with 2 rear jaws which can swivel and lock into place. Its a Noveto 4 1/4in with a swivel body also
it's a cast steel vise.
I have never seen one before from the 1930'S I think . Wondering if it might be a rare vise.
Cheers Rob 😊👍
Damn that’s a lot of vices dude! Very informative tho! I need to make a kinda post vice, something I can move around the shop for them times when you need an good strong vice
Take up smoking. It is a strong portable vice.
I just picked up today a miniature vice for £3 at my local market. I had no idea what it was for. Now that I have looked on the internet I find it is a watch/jewelers vice. which is worth a lot more than what I paid for it. I have to tell you a story of a time I worked on a farm in Ireland. One Friday the farmer came home with a vice that he paid just over £50 pounds for. Now I am going back over 30 years plus ago. The minute I set my eyes on it, I told the farmer that it would not last long. It was a big one, but made of cast iron. I told him that cast iron is very strong but cannot take heavy banging or major stress and I was right. I went to work that Monday to find that the vice had snapped where the long screw opens the vice. Back then it was an expensive loss. The farmer did not say too much about it but I bet he was not happy with all that money down the drain.
I have a sawyer tool co vice exactly like the one you had in the back that you did not mention. Wondering if you could give me any info on it??
Thanks for the info ! i hope to own a vise (someday)
Just bought an open end pipe vise for restoration. I can't figure out how to get it apart. Can you help!?
I'm suprised not to see a Zyliss Aluminum vice in your collection
Interesting video!
Have a 5" Schiller Park Wilton Cadet missing the casting nut the lead screw screws into. Any suggestions for me to find one, make one, etc.?
Nice overview of range of vises! Very helpful. Do you happen to know where I can get replacement jaws for an old Charles Parker 974 I picked up at an yard sale. It is missing one of two jaws otherwise works. You have to be a machinist to fix which I am not. Arggh.
great video thanks sir for that
Very interesting.
I inherited my Great Grandfather’s Mercury 4 vise. It’s a solid, heavy American made beast. I treasure it and use it every day.
That was made by Morgan in Wisconsin. They aren’t too common and you can still get replacement parts for them if needed.
@@Freakingstang really?! Wow, thank you for the information, I’ll look them up.
I have a Paramo and a Brockhaus Heuer, especially the Heuer vices are very popular in the Netherlands.
You sir, are the vice master
What information do you have for the big light green swivel head mechanic vise? I actually just posted a video a few days ago asking for any information about it. I recently inherited one and don't really have any idea as to how old it is or who made it. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Super helpful! Thank you. But I'd sure like to know how you found those Kurt vices at auction for $10. I'm having a heck of a time finding auction steals like that.
Could you tell me about the Parker 33 1/2 Vise O.P. Co. I would truly appreciate it if you could help me, thanks. 🙋☺
What about the magnetic "vise" on your surface grinder?
Where do you find vises that normally go used for 100 or more for 10 bucks
Holy workholding Batman, that's a lot of vices!!
Ever come across a FIXIE E6? Fascinating vise - removable half jaw on the slide that can be swapped left to right & a quick release.
I didn't see a corner vise being used -- do you have a video that shows how to use them? What is a Wilton 7 x 7" model 13025 in good condition worth?
I have a vice to restore, a RAE machine toolworks but I can't find the correct color I'd appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.
What do you call the vises with the really high clearance jaws?
What was the little vise handheld beside the drill press vises for? It had a wing nut on it. I have one and am not sure what it is used for. Thanks for a good video!
Next time put a time stamp in your comment so people might see what you're talking about. Any number with a colon TH-cam converts into a link to a specific second point in the video on which page you're commenting on. Which is kind of annoying if you want to use a number with a colon in it. There may be a way to escape it, I don't know. But this will take you to the 2 minute mark in this video 2:00 This is 30 seconds :30 etc.
Please can anyone identify the vise from 2:51 to 2 :56 I have that vise in dark blue, there are no marks or identifiers on it. down to the rotation locks its my vise been wondering for years who made it and how old it is.
where do find space for all of them.
do you have any brass vices? my friend has one we cant tell what it was used for....... ..
Panavises were designed for electronic work, the make different heads that interchange, multiple heads to hold circuit boards by the edges.
Hi, i bought a big vice at a estate sale and was wondering the maker, it looks like the mechanics vice gray in color
Muito bom mesmo valeu amigo obrigado por compartilhar 🇧🇷👏👍🙋👀
Nice collection Chris! I just picked up another Chas. Parker yesterday brining my vise count up to 12. Yeah, it's a problem. Lol. It was great meeting you at the LIATCA tool swap last month.
Brilliant
I just bought a Colombian mechanics vise made in the U.S.A with a swivel base at a flea market to replace a no name vise that had a cracked base that someone welded back together it did its job but the Colombian is much nicer and better build/quality so I am in the process of restoring it.
I have restored big machinist vices and they can be expensive and hard to find replacement jaw plates, I found a guy in Colorado that makes jaw plates for just about any vise and he had a set of Vise Jaws for mine and they were less money than original's made out of Air Force machine tool steel hardened and annealed, Said I would probably never have to replace faceplates I have made other plates with the milling machine to hold certain items some soft, work very well, that is a $650 vise not the most expensive but a nice vise
I bought an all aluminum body for my truck that looks like it was used for fire, rescue and welding. There are 4 holes on the 800lb flat steel bumper that aren't square. Two are wider apart. I would love to replace that vice. I just don't know what vice is good for all weather.
That pano vise is used to hold circuit boards. Nylon jaws.
While Panavise makes circuit board holders the model 303 head is not made for that specific purpose. Although if you have a board small enough it fits in the jaws that tool will hold a board. The 217 and 315 are specifically made to hold circuit boards for work. I prefer a dedicated station like the 333 for production work myself.
That is only one thing they can do, and that isn't actually the head they use for holding circuit cards. It's a general-purpose vise head. See the link: www.panavise.com/index.html?pageID=1&id1=1&startat=1&--woSECTIONSdatarq=1&--SECTIONSword=ww
Got an old vise, stationary (non-swivel base) where the rear jaw moves (front jaw is stationary, "part of" the base). Rear jaw moves on top of the base like a wagon on a railtrack shape, with a bolt and outer nut through a 6-7'ish gap in the "track" of the base. While the jaws are normally high, the entire length of the base is almost flush with the bench, and has a nub underneath about 2/3rds from the rear so it clearly has to hang over the bench edge. Jaws are about 120mm wide but the body is quite slim.
Any ideas? Have not been able to identify it, no clear markings.
FPU. Polish.
how do you find the auctions
Everyone has a vice... some are self destructive, some are used to cope with the pain. Some are literal.
Is the YOST 465 a good vise for a home garage for restoring cars that will occasionally see some abuse?
Yeah those yost vises seem pretty good!
Awww yeah! I have an old Joland metal vise for Australia. It looks old as the brand Joland is a round bit of lead with the name stamped on it. A blacksmith friend of mine told me it is definitely worth restoration? It is heavy duty. Have you heard of the brand? Any reply appreciated cheers from Australia 🙂👍👍👍. Informative tutorial
I needed this!
wow you have a lot of vices yeees
Bolt two mill vices on the mill table. Put flat sided drill press vises in the mill vises. Cut a block of wood to thickness and place between them. Now sheet metal can be milled precisely.
I am looking for a great mechanic's vise for my home DIY workshop. Which brand I need to try?
Record vices from England are great. As he says, get an older one.
Indiana Jones and the lost city of golden vises priceless!!!vises are forever!!
my uncle just gave me a vintage mighty brand multi purpose vise, i'd love to figure out the year it was made, i think its about 5 to 7 inches, its quite heavy and in great shape
What mfg. is that gray/green multi purpose vise in the back drop? Are multi purpose vises a good choice if looking to do some heavy duty work, or are they limited to more medium duty work? I have a chance to buy an old Columbian multi purpose vise that looks to be about 100lbs for $80, but I see these multi purpose vises selling for $100-$200 new. Any thoughts on typical vise quality when buying new or used?
Get a quality old one, Colombian Howe are great.
You gotta come down to mongers market with me so you can buy some more haha
How about the fractal vise ?
What an instructional video should be!
dostum harika ve özel bir insansın. insanlık için gerekli bir kişiliksin. kutluyorum seni.
Oh I have a wood vice I thought it was made from a old vault door lock cause the little thing that pops up and stuff
Someone call the vise squad!
Very nice and unique claction from karachi Pakistan
