5" Record Vice going spare.

Ok, the Underground railway is passing this weekend, and I have a spare
engineers vice [1]

It's not pretty, and could do with a splash of blue hammerite, but it's
not overely rusty, and the screw isn't buggered on it.

I've given it the once over and was going to ebay it.

Any takers for the right beer tokens ?

RRP on these is about <fx: checks> bloody hell, £200

Cheers,

Paul.

[1] Well, several, but this is made of cast iron and steel.

 

Mine was from B&Q and cost about £20 and it's blue as well.

Likewise. What's so special about that one that makes it 200 notes?

 

How much?

And does the Underground get as far north as Worksop?

Tsk, wash your mouth out, that's a woodworking vice.

Just checked, mine is a mambo, err Record no #5.

Cheers

Paul.

 

I revise my estimate actually. It's a mechanics vice

Heh, but will it last as long as this one ? I've seen these abused all
day long in garages.

I was waiting for one to come up, got fed up and went and bought a
sealey monster. Then this came up for sale the week later :/

Record No23 - £200 new - £40 on ebay

What's the difference?

Quite easily ime, if one's a little zealous in the tightening
department. And when they go, you'd better hope you're not in the
firing line.

I've done it. Several times.

Mainly due to their unsuitability as a press or anvil. I've also managed
to weld one shut.

My current one has lost it's quick release which is a PITA.

 

I've done for more than one trying such stunts as straightening
forklegs with a blowlamp and sledge hammer...
It helped that I had a huge FOAD Victorian metal workers bench, about
a quarter ton of wrought iron and hardwood

'Hog

 

<fx: narrows eys> What are you saying here?

 

I want to hear the story behind this.

It sounds like fuckwittery equal to my managing to set my speedo cable
on fire.

 

Indeed, the cheap vices chew up the screw really easiliy, as I use the
vice for pressing stuff in on occasion rather than just gripping
IYSWIM.

Record is the best make, like cheap OEM vs Ohlins. Have a look at the
price of their G-Clamps.

Then fall over.

Cheers

Paul.

 

You don't work on cars so don't have the joy of pressing bits of
oversized rubber into undersized suspension parts.

 

Well I think big Dave pipped you to the post [pun intended] by 4
minutes

But I feel your enthusiasm

Well, clearly ! Still, first stop on the underground is Bedford. Why
not take a look at it and let me know.

Cheers

Paul.

Ah well, fair enough.

My existing vice(s) will suffice for some time to come.

Nah, Big Dave won fair and square.

The ****.
