Oh it will be fine... I have restored Wilton's in much dire condition.

It appears to have barely been used and is no older then 1998 it appears. Theres even grease still around the slide so I can't imagine it's too bad. I will need a new retainer for the leadscrew as someone mangled this one trying to unstick it by backing it out.

Picked up this Wilton 1765 vise off CL today, the movable jaw is frozen but seems to have little use. Figured for $75 I couldn't go wrong.

Hopefully a good soaking and it'll free up.View attachment 585007View attachment 585008

I had to google the model number for that Wilton. You are right about not going wrong!

Good score.

That's pretty cool, any idea on the vintage?

Picked up this older Williams 1/4” socket set recently. On a lil Williams kick, so to speak.

Pretty cool!

I don't know if that is a rare item; all I know is I've never seen one. Neat!

Seems most tools marked "Made in U.S.A." are rare these days unfortunately...........

Those really work good for removing 3/8, 1/2, 3/4 square plugs....like for checking fluid levels. Just use the appropriate extensions or adapters to use the back end of the extension to fit the plug.
