How Strong Are These Bench Vises



Pretty Sure I Hate Jason @ Fireball Tool.. The guy has every cool tool known to man... He uses his Shaper to do one to the main shafts then later uses a knee mill to do the same machining operation on another main shaft just to show us he has both... Clearly he has a liquid cooled wallet... Yup, I hate him.... LOL..

Wonder what that cost to build and what it will sell for very nice :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

If your liquid cooled wallet is big enough he might build another but mostly he just builds really cool stuff for himself & has a small line of specially tools that he sells... The stuff he sells is very nice... Not in my budget but very nice....
 
I can’t believe this guy didn’t build his own hydraulic jack!
 
Found this animal in the in-law's basement the other day behind never used boxes of 6" ceramic tiles. The shaft end up, I thought it was a prybar. Turns out it's an old Indian Chief post vise.........

so last week I learned my Quincy 325 compressor was kind of a legendary a thing......

now I come across this thread; and get curious about the vise my Dad had on a bench in his basement.... it became mine when he passed and I mounted to a bench about 20 years ago. to me, it was just a vise; who knew they were a thing?....... it's a Rock Island 94. I never even cared before today, and had no idea who made it.......it gets used, sometimes abused......Lord know what the old man put it through or where it came from.......I'm gonna research it out a little more
