Title: SOME FACE BOOK FINDS
Post by: ken w. on May 13, 2019, 09:50:41 PM

I went to buy a Mantis tiller off Face Book and saw a Athol No. 114 L vise on the floor next too the trash. I have a thing for these Athol vises. There pretty heavy for the size of it. The Mantis I bought as is. I figured it most likely will need carb work as it hasn't been run in a few years. It had no gas in the tank , so that's a good thing. I'll try to fire it up tomorrow.  So, for $ 75.00 I got a Mantis & Athol vise.

Really that Athol vise was sitting with the trash? The handle looks like it has been beaten on but the jaws look fine. Does it open and close OK?

I opened it up about an inch and closed it. Other than that I didn't look it over yet. That will be for tomorrow.
