Ask and you shall receive. For years now I've wanted a bench vise. What I didn't want was the Chinese made garbage at Lowe's.
Walking up to the gym of all places. I noticed a decent sized chunk of iron laying out in the parking lot. Being inquisitive I check it out. Well SOB. It was a vintage 6" bench vise. Rusty red. Made by 'The Ridge Company' out of some place in Ohio. Below that it had what I wanted to see. 'Made in the USA.'
Figuring it to be busted. Like a cracked base, broken screw, or missing a jaw. Nope. Nothing at all wrong with it. Threw it in the trunk and now I have a genuine American made vise. Just what I needed and in the size I wanted. My guardian Angel slid me a Winner. For free.
I got One Thing From the Toolshed of my wife’s Grandpa when he passed away; a 6” Sears Roebuck and company Bench Vise.
