In this video I go through my collection of nearly 40 vises and show the difference between types. I enjoy collecting antique vises to use in my shop, but you can still buy high quality vises new online. Below are some links to some of the specific style vises I use most:

I’ve been looking for a new vice for months. Now I know why o can’t find any. You have them all.

@denniswhite166 5 лет назад

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.

@1pcfred 5 лет назад

@@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.

@grumblycurmudgeon 2 года назад

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.

@stansbruv3169 2 года назад

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.

@LooseOrangeJuice 3 года назад

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.

@joenadeau4419 5 лет назад

I have a number of vises and have to say that was an excellent presentation of the benefits of each type, nice job.

@jurpo6 2 года назад

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.

@BellaRocko 7 месяцев назад

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 for tutorial. Never understood the purpose of post vises, now I do!

@skysurfer9655 9 месяцев назад

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.

@EdieBabeMonster 4 года назад

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.

@rafaelverastegui7611 3 года назад

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.

@me3333 5 лет назад

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

@denniswhite166 5 лет назад

@@me3333 Is getting a bigger vise not in your budget?

@me3333 5 лет назад

One big enough to fit the drill press in is definitely out of my budget... I was just making jokes LOL

@carpentryfirst3048 2 месяца назад

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.

@TheGuidedSharpeningGuide 2 года назад

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.

@20mcarroll02 5 лет назад

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.

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 😊👍

@michaelodwyer5305 2 года назад

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.

That pano vise is used to hold circuit boards. Nylon jaws.

@1pcfred 5 лет назад

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.

@mechanician7735 5 лет назад

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

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

Next time put a time stamp in your comment so people might see what you're talking about. Any number with a colon RU-vid 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.

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.

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?
