I just received on of these in great condition from my workplace. We were cleaning out some cabinets of things that are no longer needed. I think this will help me on some of my small engine projects. It will be great in my home shop. Also, love the 1020 in the back!

Cleaned up real nice. Great addition to shop. Thank you

Pretty sweet! You can hold things six ways to Sunday now!!

Coming along nicely Thanks for sharing. 👍

That is a sweet vise. Nice job on the clean up too. Looks like brand new!!

What an awesome vise

Nice clean vise James. Good score

James, be careful. If Abom sees it he may make an offer that you cannot refuse. It is a VICE!! Bad double entendre.

It looks Like a good vice!

It looks like a really well made vise and is worthy of some TLC.

It was made about 11 miles from my house. They went out of business quite some time ago.

So what's the name of the manufacturer? I also have one that came without a tag or label. Be nice to know!

Keith Rucker's Vintage Machinery.org site has a short write up on the company: Universal Tool&Vise, Parma, MI. Also one photo that looks just like Jay's. Apparently this company had a number of names over the years.

Funky looking vise, but man, is it a versatile one. Pity it's not in production anymore, but good that it wound up in your hands, i'd hate to see it ruined by someone with no experience or chucked in the scrap bin.

James, I have two of these and rebuilt both. You are missing the retention springs on both sets of gybs. Do you need the specs for those? They keep the gybs from moving and binding when the axis is loose. Also provides a little resistance so the vice is easier to adjust without going completely loose. Universal Vise Co.

Gee, you get all the cool toy's James.

Nothing but luck my friend. You have to come to these events! See you at the next GOTL!

Awesome Vise! Just curious, did you ever finish the rebuild?

I have the same vise. Came in a lot of things i got at a sale. Now its oiled waiting for me to do what you did. Im a vise nut like mr pete.

I really like the music you use.

That vise will hold dreams and ambitions without crushing them.

I have one just like it in my shop I oiled her up good but I bet she's got rust all over her. Along with every other to o l in the shop. I became unable to get out of bed about three years ago. Keep hoping ill heal or a new pain Dr will kill the right nerves in the right spot. Nothing worse then pain puts a big strapping man of 265lbs and 6'4" tall. Nerve Nerve

Don't take this the wrong way Sillverbullet, like James I hope that you make a full recovery and soon, but it sounds to me that you may be somewhat over weight. 210 pounds would be a lot better, and it may also help your pain issue.

@@jtkilroy Sounds to me that your shop is really high in moisture content. Maybe that is why the big strapping man has some problems ??? Dampness is proven to cause all sorts of ailments. Good luck and heal fast.

Whatever you paid for it, you got a good deal.

You just bought that welder this past year and it looks like you have been collecting clamps all your life except they look brand new.

Oh, I have a Mig setup that I have had for 20 years, and those clamps are not new either. They are the best clamps I have ever had, Bessey. The finish, I guess powder coat, is tough as nails. Drop them on the floor, throw them across the table, no chips, scratches, nothing. Only downside is they are expensive.

No paint just oil works for me.
