My friend and I are putting together an auto restoration shop and we are looking for a really nice (REALLY nice) bench vise. The new ones that we have seen so far are crap. There is a huge difference in quality. The cheaper ones are rated at 35,000psi and the more expensive are rated at 65,000. One weighs about 20 pounds, the other about 65-70 pounds minimum. One costs about $50, the other about $700. The good vintage ones sell for around $200 or so on ebay when you can find them. Thanks!
