Edgar good tips on the other brands. I have a original Versa Vise in Top condition. Mounted to a T shaped oak base out of 3 inch stock. Use it clamped into a big Blacksmiths Leg vise on my “mechanics” bench. Don’t use it for heavy work very well suited for detail cutting and filing.

If I bought the right Parker Vise would replace the bench mounted Leg Vise and move the Leg outside. Nice Parker or it’s equal that swivels would do most of what the two do now & could still mount the Versa when needed.

I have a soft spot in my heart for old vises, especially Reeds... They were built like tanks. Quality and durability that is no longer appreciated.

I have a 4 inch Parker vise in my collection. Figured any company that can build guns and vises can't be bad

For members looking for high quality American made vises, attend the farm shows in the rural areas near you. I counted 6 Parker vises at the Canandaigua farm show several years ago.
