I've got a Chas Parker that was welded up yrs ago. I've had it 35+ yrs of abuse and it has held up admirably.

The old dude that repaired my vise knew what he was doing. unlike the guy who "welded" on this one.

I want to know who is the scrapper who will give him $30 for that vise? I will send him loads of scrap if he is paying that much a pound.
