Vise vices

Gotta love Wilton using pillow packs and a lightweight cardboard box to ship a 62 pound cast iron vise!
At least they bolt it to a piece of plywood to protect the mounting ears.
Not a scratch! UPS needs to try harder, LOL. (it was still sort of taped closed)

So, I finally get a real USA made 4" Wilton Machinist vise that will last 200 years with about 20 years of my life left....:D More stuff for the kids to deal with....

Yep, I have one just like it, and it is an excellent vise, and well worth whatever $$$ it cost. Fortunately I got mine (used) when I had about 50 years of my life left.
 
Congratulations
Gives me goose bumps

LOL. It's an anniversary gift from my wife. She likes to buy me things I want, but can't justify financially. I've been using a sloppy old Craftsman for 30+ years. Let's just say that her gift fits in a MUCH smaller and lighter box, but costs 6x as much....
