Comments:
I purchased this 5' Fixed Vise in 2025 for $25 in Attleboro Mass. Brought to Rhode Island and cleaned over 110 years of gunk, dirt, metal and wood shavings out of the body. The original screw and nut were in very good condition. I made a new stand for it from salvaged steel and a TT Brake hub. Filled the hub with 80# of concrete and added a new hammered black finish. I presented this Vise as a gift to a Quonset Point Truck and Trailer repair facility in North Kingstown RI as a gift for providing such great service over the years.
