That's a good score there - Not too many reasonably-prices antique vices around anymore.

I have my estate-sale junkie neighbor looking for one for me.

That is very true. If a decent Wilton comes up for a good price…they always go really quick. But most are overpriced. I just wish this one had an anvil pad on it.

New old stock little bar for one of my Huskies.

 

[HumBurner]

Probably would've been smarter to leave it alone, but sometimes I just can't help myself. $30 for both. Figure the bar and sprocket on the saw are worth that. Disintegrated fuel line, but is overall surprisingly clean. Rock bar is still good for pushing on trees or defending myself, lol.




Oh, and some gopher plants for the garden and some refrigerant for the truck.

That's a good price if the spindle is in good shape. The older Wiltons are great vises. The newer ones, not so much.

That's 10x than what I'd pay. It's obviously listed by someone who doesn't know what they're doing.

People see something stupid on the internet and then run with it:

For sale is a huge 150 LB Wilton #03-600 machinist bullet vise with 6" jaws and 12" capacity. Price is $900.00

That's what I figured. There was another one that was half rust, probably a 5-7", that they were asking $600 for. Can't find the listing, thought it was in Mendo.

Seems insane to me, but that's not my world.

What do you expect in the land of over priced everything. Cali shenanigan's, I'd say.

My dad has one similar to that, it's a very stout unit and has taken a lot of abuse over the years. Now I have a 125# Morgantown vice on the bench out front to take the big stuff and the Wilton gets a little easier life.

Bought $325.00 worth of Amsoil, a deep transmission pan and filters for my GMC AT4 so I can service the drivetrain. Good thing I had two kidneys.
