Garage Shop: Tools

interesting, maybe just the strength of the pallet/packaging, or maybe how the shipping company or fellows in the back of the store move around and treat the boxes. Perhaps it's purely luck of the draw. I'm batting a 1000 with 72" box, top chest, and mechanics cart.

 

Could be. I was thinking the larger stuff may require more attention when handling just because the size of the box and pallet.

The pallet my 44” box came on was about the sorriest piece of shit excuse for a pallet I’ve ever seen.

 

Got this about a month ago just mounted it today . I’ve wanted a nice heavy duty vise for years .

 

Is that table solid steel?

 

No it’s 18 gauge broke on all 4 sides on top of a solid wools bench . It 4 ft x 8 ft .

 

Ah cool. I was gonna say, that’d be a hell of a welding table if the top was that thick.

 

I made it from full dimensional 2x6 from a local mill it all rough cut solid wood it’s pretty solid and it’s on casters .

 

It makes a very good all purpose bench , it large enough I can layout a good size welding project on it . But most of the time it’s my catch all . Lol

 

This is the hydraulic 3roll bender I built I currently have my 12 inch shear mounted where one or the rollers go .

 

Sexy vice

 

If you can only have one vice in life, this is not a bad one at all

 

At home I’ve used several cheap vises in my life and I finally decided it was time to make a lifetime investment. I will most likely not buy another one like this in my lifetime, my son will most likely inherit it when I’m dead and gone . I could have got the none snap_on version of this Wilton vise for cheaper but I decided “why the hell not” . You only live once .

 

I have to ask...........ball park price?????

VERY nice

 

$950

 

Thanks. I thought it might actually be more. Beautiful.

 

Hell of a vice.

 

I could have gone one or 2 steps bigger but , I figured this was the best for the things I do .

 

Looks like a Wilton Bullet.

 

It is , they made it for snap on. It’s actually a Wilton tradesman.
