This 4" Wilton Bullet Vise was recovered from a antique car garage. It was used and abused for 4 decades and certainly lived a strenuous and productive life. Follow along as I rebuild and make over this classic American bench vise.

I have a Wilton Bullet that I acquired when someone was throwing a work bench away. I asked about the vise that was attached to the bench and they said I could have it if I wanted it. 3 bolts with a crescent wrench and it was in my pickup. I just got my paint and it will be done this weekend. I am looking forward to it. Nice videography and it was good help with my project. Thanks.

I recently bought a new vice (vise for you Americans, but us Brits like ours vices), when I see videos like this I think I could get twice the vice for half the money. They are practically giving them away on eBay. Then I remember, you need at least some idea what you are doing. A great video as always with your brilliant sense of humour.

Is there such a thing as a Wilton bullet vice that isn’t pretty? Even pre restoration they blow most other vices out of the park. A great clean up and paint job, I really like the 'natural' look. Great production and editing too, you certainly made me smile. Personally I find the videos like yours that don’t have the 'after' in the thumbnail far more satisfying. Thank you.
I think you covered everything in the description except the color paint that you used on the vise..i would love to know the brand of paint and color.. thx for bringing us along..

Cool restoration. I just picked up an old wilton and am going to take it apart and clean it up. Mine is massive though, on the lookout to eventually get a smaller bench vise like this one. What size are the jaws? 3 inches?

Also, your acid etch primer should go on as a dust coat only.. it works better this way - instructions say so. Nice resto though Sir!
