    There stamps, used to number or letter things. I have a set just like them, but a bit newer mine are made in the USA, but have a plastic case.

    Line them up and hit them with a done deal.

    Back in the old days I used to number and letter shocks & forks to keep track of mods.

    Honestly, I didn't even get a chance to figure it out. I was gonna call you and get some info on it. It currently has a Jacobs chuck on it now so I'm sure it will work. I'll try to get to it once I get caught up on a few thing. Nonetheless, thanks for sending it. I will use it eventually.

    I think this may be a blacksmith's vice, but I am unsure. I hope to find out so I can sell it.

    Those are for punching identification numbers in parts. Wheter it be a name or numbering connecting rods on engine blocks to keep them in proprietary order during a rebuild. If you mix rods up in a rebuild the engine will not turn over if not placed back in posistion. They can be used on anythinh really. I used them on jugs with my name to make sure I got my parts back from the machine shop..


    I have been a mechanic for over 25 years. I have many older tools that I stiil use. And I have fun with the whipper snap youngings in shops stumping them with "whats this for" tests.
    I have a flock of carburetor and points tools that many have no idea wth they are for, and I have had a few 30 year olds ask me what my timing light was for..Man technology sure dumbs down people. And I dont mean that offensively. It is figurative. If these kids cant pull a code from a scanner they cant fix it, and even then most of em still cant fix it right the first time. They have little diagnostic skills cuz they never had to learn base operational theories of car engines. Pretty soon you will see us old farts die off and the next generation will have to take their 250R carb to a specialist or even a mechanic cuz their cell phone cant twist a wrench..Wth we already see that..

    I have a old cleveland vise. This thing is a frighin monster that is tough as nails. It may be the oldest thing I own and they dont make em like this these days. I would guess it as 50s. I also have an old John Deer oil can I would age at 1950s as well. It is still cherry found in it my basement rafters.

    I was very fortunate to go to an estate sale with Fabio, his brother had told him about it.

    Aside from tons of hand and machine tools I said, "How much for a chainsaw", she said any one 50$. It's an old Macculach made in 100% metal.

    I'll never need another one......

    My new 80 gallon compressor lasted 2 years before the belts died and the pressure/230V switch died. Everything new is a POS...

    You just reminder me of a 7" grinder my Dad has. It's a Black & Decker and it's at least 50 years old and completely metallic with a wooden handle, aluminum body I'll guess. Weighs ALL LOT and tries to take off on you when you pull the trigger, but once you get a grip on it and lay it into a piece of metal it goes to like a rabid beaver. Almost when through his knee once when it go away on him. That was freaky to see when you're a 9 year old kid. First time I ever had to run to the house and say; "Mom! Dad needs to go to the hospital!" but not the last.
    It sucks to get old

    FYI, El Cam, I googled 7" grinder, as well as rabid beaver. Oh, the things you can never unsee. This interweb thing is crazy! What's next? Phones that you can carry in your pocket? As if.
