Title: My latest find, small clamp on vise
Post by: Nolatoolguy on March 25, 2015, 10:46:54 PM: I saw some good stuff at the flea market, but only bought this. I wasn't going to even go but my addiction kicked in. I only spent four bucks on it so it didn't set me back to far.

I didn't see any markings on it. I know it looks like it's missing the little pad thing that would be on top of the screw.

Weak joint that is abused by being overtightened I.E. weakest link of the clamp
