nice shop & workbench. Wilton makes great stuff like that vise & hammers. I bought a 3 piece shop hammer set from them...indestructible handles....super heavy duty
Thanks for the video Mark! I’ve always wondered about those Wilton rubber faced jaw caps 🤔 but just thought they were too pricey. So I got some cheap ones from Amazon, which are “ok”, not great. I’ll make the purchase of the Wilton’s and see how it goes 👍
I wasn't too sure how much I'd like them when making the purchase. All I can say is I'm glad I did. Glad to help, keep me posted how they work for you.
@@MarkThomasBuilder They just arrived today and my first impression after opening the box was “wow these things are heavy duty”. I’ve already used them once and I think I’m going to like them alot! Thanks for the video!
Damn I have the plastic ones and they. They work I've never personally had issues with them falling or moving. I have to bring up.. natural rubber in a shop environment I personally don't think is the smartest idea but I also see the use of rubber if you unlike me vise wood or something compressible that'll imprint from the M/HDPE models. Tradeoffs.. tradeoffs. Which one do I pick!? 😳
This is coming from someone who uses acidic and corrosive liquids and gases - requiring me to store all of my natural rubber grinding attachments for knives in a completely sealed drawer with argon/CO2 for welding attached with simple food grade tubing and computer cooling equipment I had extra of. It'll hold 2psi constantly! It's hilarious when someone else opens it cause it does make a pretty decent pop explosion type thingy they're SO NOT EXPECTING 😄
Oh wow, that's interesting. At the time I bought the orange inserts, they didn't offer them the full width either, but I can live with that. I definitely used them a lot, but they always seemed to fall off.
@@MarkThomasBuilder Yeah I can see that especially with wood working. I know most people just screw a soft wood into the actual vise it's.. easy enough to drill being cast literal shit steel and relatively cheap. I have Beileigh vises that cost a shit ton that aren't cast and I portable Rockwell tested (not as accurate) it at freaking 51.5 Rc actually I'd guess closer to 53 based off prior experience with these testers sooo drilling was out. And yes I'm taking fully forged vises not just hardened steel on the jaw face and cast arms and base. They're older than me by a lot. I actually wish I knew what they were or when I'd assume late 60s early-mid 70s? So magnets make a little bit more sense and as long as you are not doing metal fab like me it shouldn't be an issue with natural rubber -- depends on where you live -- the ozone levels around me are actually relatively high in Pittsburgh here compared to the rest of the USA. ~80μm/m³. 😐
I also have a Wilton woodworker's vise which has wood liners. That's on my other workbench and is handy for clamping 2x lumber or other things. I find myself using the bullet vise more often. I often have some simple projects bending stuff or grinding something with the Milwaukee 3" cutoff.
@@MarkThomasBuilder wait. So am I getting this correct or.. a 3" cutoff wheel is. Smaller than I'm used to? We're not talking about a angle grinder correct? (I thought the smallest was 4.5"?) I got. A Dremel for anything else I'm trying to figure out what you do with said cutoff wheel cause as you know I'm not a cellulose lignin and water guy it's just a little bit .. boring to me* But I'm damn curious about said cutoff wheel now 😄
