Very old vise grips
« on: November 19, 2014, 11:47:54 AM »
I ran across these while looking for something else.  Wish I had a pair although these seem a little pricey to me.

Just a touch!

The Seller should have someone who knows how to operate a camera take the photos for him!

The seller location in the listing is Kearney, NE -- the asking price is about 4X what an example in fair shape would fetch (maybe 3X a really nice one ).

I had one exactly like the one pictured. It brought $405 on ebay less than a year ago. My 2nd edition brought $315. So hes not far off.

Before the listing disappears from ebay - can I please ask anyone posting such a listing to also post an image (or two) - a few months after the event the eBay listing is deleted so the link no longer works...

Thanks!
