This is regarded as a serious workplace tool, not a toy. These have an extensive, interesting history and are highly valued, This original model series is difficult to find and is known to sell for much more.
Early edition, very well made with cast aluminum H-frame, better than later, cheaper stamped steel models. Very sturdy, capable of holding a couple hundred pounds
This is multi-position to allow easy storage, carrying and multi-usage heights. Crank handles have been replaced from B&D. Completely works, shows minor usage however no flaws that detract from immediate usage, clean, lubed and ready to go.
Key Features of the Original Design H-Frames: Early models (Types E through 5) famously utilized cast-aluminum "H-frame" legs that were strong, stable, and highly regarded for their design before transitioning to stamped steel. Dual-Action Vise: Dual handles operate threaded rods to open and close the two parallel wooden jaws.
Portability: The entire unit folds flat for easy storage and can be transported easily across job sites or stored in a small garage.
Versatility: Acts as a portable workbench, a sawhorse, and a versatile bench vise.
Original models (such as the 79-001) are prized by collectors and DIY enthusiasts due to their cast-aluminum frames and long-lasting build quality, built much better compared to whats currently available.
