Newer ones are great too, this here one is going on 20 years old, I believe that they still sell the exact same one View attachment 159363View attachment 159364View attachment 159365

Great for holding everything, including your favorite cold beverage

These are by far the best vises for the money. They're called the Tradesman Bullit
vise. Not cheap but will out last any other. I have 4 of these that are 5.5 and 6 inch
models, one that's close to 30 years and still works like new. Keep an eye on ebay
as you can find them from wholesalers for half of retail brand new.

Those Wilton Bullits are what I had mounted on some of my tool boxes at work .Good vise . The big giant one is the pricey one at over a grand retail .All mine were freebies .

If you can pick up a used one at a reasonable price, then you really can't go wrong - they are a beautiful vise. However, I don't see $1000 worth of extra value in a new Wilton Bullet vise over a Yost ductile iron vise. Both vises will outlast us and likely outlast our grandkids as well. I know the Wilton is cheaper in the States, but up here they run anywhere from $1300 to $2000.

I got a used (old) reed machinist vice at a local business auction. Wow, what a great vice. I had used lots of vises, including wiltons, and this is the best vise (square, tight, smooth) I have ever used. Mine has smooth tool steel jaws that don't mar my bars or anything else and clamp down like no other. I took it all apart and gave it some tlc.

I picked this when cleaning out my grandparents home after they couldn’t live there anymore. Patent date sept 22, 1914.

I don’t see a makers name.

The screw part broke on it and my neighbor has a machine shop and they made a new one for me.

A few years back I was looking for a second vise to put in the garage. Could not find one. Then, the spigot opened and I started finding a bunch at garage and estate sales. Not Wiltons, but Craftsman and Montgomery Wards, and some 'antique' / collectables that I cleaned up and posted on CL to pay for the others. They are out there, depending on how picky you are.

I found another old vise to clean up, plan on giving it to my brother as a birthday gift.

Athol 614 1/2. In very lightly used condition for $60 on Facebook marketplace. I took it all apart and gave it some love. This thing cleaned up NICE, kinda wanting to keep it now!

You guys have so many old vices around, some real rippers in this thread. I ain't postin muh $30 china-cast hardware special, it wouldn't be right. But I too am on the hunt for a rusty heavy relic to tidy up for my bench.

I'll get picks of the monster vice at the old repair shop. It needs to move here, soon. Every vice I have owned broke. They were all junk. Broke one last fall bolted to a stump pulling nails out of 4x4s wtf...

Man I have vise envy. Don't hate, I have a tekton because I don't have a lot of space in my shop and it was the best cheap one I found.

Honestly I have a lot of tekton tools and they tend to serve me really well especially for their price.

One really nice vice was one you posted Phil when you set up the Temco auto chain grinder up at a GTG. It was off to the right in the pic on the same bench the grinder was set up on, it was a serious chunk of steel.

That would belong to @Ronaldo or @hoskvarna (or both!).

Yup that's the one, very nice. So many seek out the famously awsome Wilton bullets which are great but there are so many old US made brands out there that are true treasures.
