VISE ID ??
« on: September 20, 2018, 10:26:56 AM »
I'm thinking of  going to an estate sale tomorrow, The only thing I'm interested in is the vise in the pic. Any idea of the maker from this pic ?

No telling the brand for me. That said I do think it is one of the good old ones and not a chicom POS. I would go if you are looking for a good old heavy one. That one shows promise. If I was going to guess I would guess a Reed.

2nd'd. The swivel lock lever is the give away. No one else used that style.

That, and the YUGE jaw support  :D
Good luck grabbing it Ken, I think Starrett/Athol are one of the best there are. I got a cute little Starrett 3" fixed base no 923 at a flea market for $10, and it is a serious little vise! I also have a Reed no. 23-1/2 utility vise similar in size, but swivel base...the Starrett weighs 1.5  times as much as the Reed. Starrett opens about 3.75" as it can hold 2x4 laid flat, it's a decent substitute for a c-clamp tbh, lol.

Depends on if you want it or want to flip it.

I would grab that for the right price but who know what that price is?

Here is my 4-1/2" jaw Starrett. I bought this one about 12 years ago from Rutland Tool. When Starrett quit offering them Rutland wanted this one out of their showroom and I was happy to oblige for a cheap price. It is a darker blue than the picture looks.

Now that you showed that picture of the Starrett vise there is no mistaking the lineage of the vise in the original picture!

Depending on condition, I would have it priced between $80 to $100 or so in my showroom

I got the vise. Are there 2 swivel locks on these or one ? The one I picked up has 2 holes , but 1 lock. The other pic shoes a plug in one hole.

Cool, that is a 924-!/2 just like mine but a little older. Glad you got it.

Oops, just realized that is a pic of Greyson's vise. ::)

I'll post a few pics tonight. It's raining sideways outside right now. I don't feel like getting wet right now.

Here are some pics. I noticed that the one jaw is a smooth replacement. This thing is really heavy too. I had to carry it from the basement and over a block to my car.

That vise is in very nice shape. Too bad it doesn't have both serrated jaws but still worth keeping.

Nice grab for sure.

This guy makes grade A stuff. $80 for jaws probably blows the budget.

That's a total YOU SUCK price. Fix that baby up and enjoy it for the rest of you life.

I paid $100 for mine from a friend, and it's missing the jaws.
