Item Description
Up for auction is a highly collectible 1982 Wilton 3-inch "bullet" style bench vise. If you know vises, you know the reputation of these American-made Wiltons. I run a working fab shop and have two other heavy-duty vises that I use daily, so I’m passing this one along. I’m a user, not a collector, and this piece deserves a spot on a bench where it will be appreciated.
Condition & Known Issues (Please Read):
The Good: It looks great, operates well for most tasks, and the jaws are in solid shape.
The Issues: The handle has a slight bend to it. Also, the vise gets a little tight when you go to close it all the way down. It works great for most stock, but binds up a bit if you are trying to clamp something under 1/8-inch thick.
The Fix: I suspect the internal nut needs to be removed, cleaned, or replaced. Replacement nuts for these are readily available online for around $10. Selling AS-IS as a very easy weekend project for a tool restorer or a great secondary shop vise.
Specs:
Make: Wilton (USA)
Year: 1982
Jaw Width: 3 Inches
Style: Bullet Vise
