7" or 10" jaw? This business of a minimum message lengrh is becoming annoying
Thanks, Curt

It's the smaller 7" one. The wider one is the 79a.

For anyone who is not familiar with Wilton vises they are an excellent heavy duty vise. I have the 10" model and I especially like the pivoting face. However, the pivoting face can be removed in seconds if you want a rigid jaw.

I don't use the pivot jaw on the vice I use. I'm not even sure where it is now... Unfortunately these vices are as hard to sell as Ford parts...

$50 before it hits the scrap pile since it seems these vices have no value or demand?

I'm quite sure that they have value - to anyone building a budget bench. It will just take a while to find that someone.
Thanks, Curt

Can this vise be used as a standard bench vise? Mine just broke.
