My latest find, small clamp on vise
« 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.

I have several small clamp on vises and for some reason the washer part of the clamp is almost always missing. My favorite little is a Brink & Cotton. Besides clamping on, it has a place to use four wood screws to also mount it.

Yeah it is. And I don't know why the little pads like to go missing. Happens a lot on c-clamps too.

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

You could drill that quarter out and it could be your new pad.

And that would up his investment to $4.25.

Electrical box knockout - free on any commercial job site, when the electricians are going through (and on some residential job sites, if the electricians are as conservative as my son and I are, and still use metal boxes).
