rrmccabe Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Great buy. I know some wiltons are highly sought after based on the kind of iron. I have two different wilton vises but neither are high dollar ones. Some of those old bullet vises command big money. Lets see the after pictures 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 Looks like an older 745 Mechanics vise. It's imported, but it's one of the nicer imported vises and typically runs around $200 new. You can still get parts for it too. Old vises are are a lot of fun. I've redone several, and I have 2 more awaiting restoration as we speak. Can't go wrong with a $20 Wilton. I'd have snatched it up in a heartbeat ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 If it has cast pipe jaws it's considered a Utility Vise, though there's very little difference between the two. My daily user is a 1755 Tradesman and I love it. Great deal on a 1755 and a bash hammer is you got the cash. You'll probably never get on cheaper. It's basically cyber Monday cheap with a free bash. Sweet looking special edition black too! http://www.usatoolwarehouse.com/usatoolwarehouse/WIL-63200A.html?gclid=Cj0KEQiA5bvEBRCM6vypnc7QgMkBEiQAUZftQB7RvocFB0LFYhXZYXCyIT9D7I2ChcGOQ9apUkwVj4waAnXH8P8HAQ If I had any earthly need whatsoever for another vise, I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
