I saved these vices from the scrapyard several years ago. It’s time to clear some extra stuff out of the garage, and bring in some cash. They’re good old school American made vices, from Wilton and Columbia. Oppo discount applies,  if you’re in driving distance of O’Hare airport and want a vice. I’m not shipping these monsters!

I bought a new one when Amazon was running a big sale last year (free shipping!) but I’m sure those old ones are much better quality.

Oh man. I've actually been looking for a bigger vice. If only shipping costs weren't so bad.

I just had a thought. These might fit in those prepaid priority mail boxes ... Let me check into that tomorrow.

I’d take one - you’re pretty far  south right?  I may be working in South Holland next week.

I mean, if it really meant something to you, I have a PO box in the USA. I could bring it across and pop it back in the mail.

probably $$ though

I do appreciate the offer, but I suspect postage from BC to here would still be brutal. I should keep my eyes open for one around here.

Did you find out if any fit in a priority mail box?

Crap, I knew I forgot something. I’ll try and swing by the post office today.

The only ones I have left are two of these Columbian vises. They don’t have the fan base that the Wilton bullet vises have, but I used these a ton at my old school and they’re very good. They open to 7" too, which is more than the Wiltons I had.

No dice. I'd have to split it into 2 boxes, and then it would cost $35 to ship.
