    Cool A Stray snuck in the back door of my house!

    Just a FREEBIE!

    Grandson found it in a shed he was cleaning out. Think I should keep it?

    Does need a little fixing up, though

    The things have their uses. I use mine for spray painting outdoors, it's heavy enough to not be tippy. I don't know what the 'jaws' are made of - I'm pretty sure they're not MDF, maybe some high density version?

    I just got a similar freebie from my brother in law who wasn't using it and wanted it out. Definitely handy for some uses. Unless you are really tight on space I think it's worth keeping.

    If you don't want it I can give it a good home.

    I have at least 3 of them and they do come in handy many times. There are a couple of versions, the one in the post looks like the better model. One of mine the plastic threaded female broke but it still has its uses as is.

    I would keep it. Looks like it could be very useful and the price is right.

    That looks like the better quality model. I have one like it. Well worth keeping.

    I've got one just like it sitting out in the shop. I can't remember the last time I actually used it but it's always nice to have, just in case.

    Use mine to hold a fan for a knock down spray booth. Works great for that.
    Glad its my shop I am responsible for - I only have to make me happy.
