New Tools for the Cruiser Shop (1 Viewer)
Nice!
Very nice. I have that same Wilton Vise. Take it apart, clean and grease it and it's ready to go.
Excellent score on some fine shop tools.

Yes sir, $50 for the press, $50 for the Wilton vise, and $20 for the pipe vise. Could not pass them up. I had been looking for a deal on an original bullet vise for a while.Excellent score on some fine shop tools.
$50 for the bullet is indeed way too good to pass, seller did not do due diligence, and especially so with the swivel. You can get a feel for how old it is from the molded city name. But there may also be a year actually stamped inside.
you deserve a beer for the find and quick move. Enjoy!

YOU SUCK!
Great score indeed.
Wow, what a score! What size is the Wilton? My dad has an old 6" in great shape, they really are solid, smooth, quality made pieces.
Date code is stamped on the bottom of the slide. Unscrew it all the way and flip it over.

Will report back this weekend when I tear it down for cleaning and lubrication.

I believe it is a 400S model based on pics and video online. Will confirm this weekend.

I'm not a beer guy but I may celebrate this weekend with some Black Sambuca over ice while I tear it down for cleaning. I have only had about a 1/2 can of beer over the last 50 years. That 1/2 can is total combined from people saying, "try this one, you'll like this one" or "those others are garbage, this is what you need to have"......it all tasted like pee would taste just different vintages of pee, IMHO
I paid $150 for the same model but probably quite a bit nicer example around 5 years ago. $50 is a great price. You need new jaw pads but those are still available.
