Wilton Electronic Vise
« on: December 04, 2021, 07:21:09 PM »
I found this at an estate sale.  They didn’t know what it was.  It was in a pile of marked junk. I found it in the 1967 Wilton catalog price list.

Where do the batteries go?  Just kidding - I never heard of an electronic vise.  The jaws are an insulating material?  I like it - it looks like it could come in handy around the shop.

Essentially a hobby vise.  The jaw covers are rubber an reversible. One side has a v the other is flat.  I've always wanted a Wilton vise.  For the price I can't gripe.   :grin:  Below is a screen shot of the 1974 catalog.

Nice find!! Probably would have made more sense if Wilton had labeled it "Electronics" :grin:

For gently holding circuit boards and suchlike things while working on them.  I didn't know Wilton made them.

I hope so.  For the price I think it was worth the buy.
