      @Knight_Kin 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah the contrasts are pretty awesome. You can see the value in both products since they both work for different needs. I just honestly don't see much value in the really cheap tools even if they're a lot less cost, because the value isn't there. If it breaks after not much use, then they are kind of worthless imho.
      I respect he isn't doing product placement so there's no 'bought' reviews. Just like any of us using them.

      @@Knight_Kin agreed. You get what you pay for. If this YOST lasts 5 years on average (replacing every five years) it’s a pretty good deal-you’d get 55 years of use for the same money as the SnapOn. If you had to replace every 2 years, not so much.

If you love tools you can buy " snap on quality" for way less usually. I bet you if wranglerstar was to read this, if he pulled the movable jaw assembly out and looked at the square key on the bottom that it WILL have a date code, meaning it is in fact a Wilton bullet vise made for snap on.

    Restoring an good old vise is a cheap option as well and it makes very good practice. I am a beginning maker at 18 years old and restored 5 vises by now. It's nice to find an old Heuer vise or blacksmiths vise and to restore it. Besides that it's a real joy to see an rusty vise turn into a like-new one. I recommend an angle grinder with a wire wheel, this will do a lot of work for you.
    I also think it's good that old tools get a new life instead of buying new things all the time. Old tools which are not broken or something like that are also made of a much higher quality that new, cheap tools these days. So for the long run restoring an old tool might be the best option

    • @Steven-gv1ke
      @Steven-gv1ke 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I personally would get the Yost 855 or even the ADI-4 as both of those are stronger and also have a lifetime warranty, as opposed to the 750e 1 yr warranty. The steel is 400% stronger on the Yost ADI-4, and 200% stronger on the Yost 855. If you need a big vise, the 855 is the best deal @ $135, but if you can get by with the ADI-4 (4"), its so strong it will last multiple generations for $109.

    I've had experiences with different yours of vises. My first two were from harbor freight. The first was a big one with vertical and horizontal swivel capacity and pipe Jaws. It was a good vise but the lock screw to keep the jaws from rotating stripped out after one year. Stupid as I was I put it on the curb I should've taken it back they'd have given me a new one. Anyway the other one was a 6 inch woodworking vice it's worked like a charm since I got it. My other vises we're found on FB marketplace or acquired for free. The free one is a real classic. It's a huge Morgan Chicago. Probably 100 years old and we'll maintained by it's owners. It was left on a bench in the basement of the home my friends recently bought. It's not a Wilton but for sure my sons and their sons will use it.

    Hey Cody, can you tell us about your main steel work bench behind you in this video? It looks like warehouse racking. What did you use for the top and how is it attached? If you've talked about that in a previous video, can you point me toward it? Thanks!

    5" swivel with both straight and pipe jaws. Love it. Choose what you buy from HF carefully. $70

    I feel lucky, I picked up a 5.5" IRWIN swivel vise for $5 canadian at an estate sale.

    Guessing a lot of that cost is cast iron VS forged steel?

    If you want to save a few hundred dollars on the “snap-on” vice you can get the Wilton. Same vice that Wilton rebrands for snap-on.

      I broke my Wilton a couple months ago. It wasn’t that hard. I had bought that one in the mid 1990’s. I got an Irwin from Lowe’s (also has a tag that says- Rocord since 1909 on it). So far so good and it does get used a lot.

    You guys should check out the Fireball tool fixture table vise. 120 bucks and he tests it to 10000 lbs of force before it broke. It’s very impressive for the money. It’s forged to not cast iron.

    Any history and opinions on rebuilding chainsaws? Just got a free Stihl pro series 044 and I'm rebuild the engine with all OEM Stihl parts and I'm looking forward to getting it running and cutting and I was wondering if you ever had experience with this side of running saws

    Does anyone know if they both cast or is the snap on one forged?

  • @KurNorock

    I just got the Yost ADI 4in vise off of Amazon for $115 or so. It's made of austempered ductile iron which is MUCH stronger than cast iron, cast steel, and even forged iron. The jaws open wide and have a lot of clamping force. Plus the pipe jaws and all internal part are also replaceable.
    The Fireball Tool channel tested a bunch of vises to destruction, including the 5in version of my vise a few days ago. It held up extremely well, beating most of the other more expensive vises. The only failure point (after absurd abuse) was a soft iron strap that holds the vise body to the swivel base, (the vise in this video has the same swivel system) but after looking at it myself, that part would be extremely easy to upgrade by replacing with, or welding on, a small slab of 3/8 mild steel.
    They tested impact resistance, clamping force, and maximum durability by tightening the vise to failure. The adi placed in the top 3 in all categories out of 10 or 12 vises I think. And the first place was a home made behemoth made out of half inch plate and square tube.
    Great video, I highly recommend it.

    You say that the jaw inserts are replaceable, but are they reversible? Knurled on one side and smooth on the other?

  • @xtemptatixnx8176
    @xtemptatixnx8176 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just a tip for anyone looking for a good vise or good cheap tools, go to an auction or estate sale, they don’t care about that kind of stuff and I managed to buy an old but heavy and functional vise for around $35. I’ve bought snap on wrench sets for $10-$25, yes the WHOLE SET.

    Are there any other pro-grade vice brands that you would recommend that are made in the USA as an alternative to Snap-On and Yost (I believe you said early on that they had a pro line)?

  • @TXSuburbanHomestead
    @TXSuburbanHomestead 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for the advice. I'm curious why you chose the 455 over the 855.

    • @Steven-gv1ke
      @Steven-gv1ke 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The Yost 855 also has a lifetime warranty (his here only has 1 yr), and the cast is TWICE as strong as the one here. Also the 855 is ductile iron, which can flex a little rather than break like the cast iron his 455 is made out of. If you look on Amazon at the reviews, there are many people who have broke the 455 series he has here. The 855 is made of better steel that won't crack.
