Thread: Heads-Up: PEC Combination Squares (blem)
Post: RE: Heads-Up: PEC Combination Squares (blem)
I got mine today.. the blemish was that the blades were scratched, but the scratch did not affect the measurement markings, so I am extremely pleased with them. Thanks for posting this |

Thanks, I ordered one big one and one smaller one.. They also have PEC squares with the protractor and center finder attachments if someone is looking for those. |

Thread: Tucker...lee valley
Post: RE: Tucker...lee valley
I am just curious.. why is this vise so expensive .. I am asking due to ignorance, not attacking the price.
What does it do that other vices can't do , which makes it so desirable? |
