So, while I thought I had settled on buying an Eclipse 10" QR , I found myself noodling around on E-Bay. Very dangerous.
I have been running across several vintage 10" QR vises.
I'm particularly interested in the Columbian and also their sibling Craftsman vises. Mostly because of their heft, and also that they were made in Cleveland, where I am from.
Does anyone have any info on these vises? Anything at all would be great. Especially if you own one and can tell me a bit about the care and feeding/real world use experiences?
Thanks all!IMG_20150725_29566.jpgIMG_20150725_54496.jpg
