This is a vintage blacksmith post vise. It has a 4-1/2" wide jaw, a VERY IMPRESSIVE 8" jaw opening, 41-1/2" long, and weighs 60 pounds. The vise has been fully tested, can be open and closed with one finger, and jaws close tight and parallel to each other. Last year I completely tore down this vise and cleaned every surface of rust and dirt, but I got busy and didn't oil it right away so it has a very mild surface rust on some surfaces. It has not been use...d at all since I cleaned it. SHIPPING: I have considerable experience shipping post vises, so feel confident you will receive yours well packaged. Some vises may be partially disassembled for shipping purposes. Please let me know if you have any questions.
