Repairing and restoring a Powr-Kraft 84-5434 bench vise. I bought this old broken vise for $5, unaware of just how many problems it had in store for me. It's made by Milwaukee Tool and was manufactured in Japan but I'm not sure what year. This is my first attempt at vise restoration. See the links below for the parts and tools I used:

Wow! You did a wonderful job on that mess of scrap iron ( vise ) ! I don't know what else could have been wrong to start. That hyd press will come in handy much more often than you might think.

Thanks! I've used the press on some more recent videos and, while I don't use it every day, there's no substitute when you need it. :)

Job well done! You can get many, productive years out of that vise.

Thanks, I appreciate it! The restoration was a lot of work and ended up taking much longer than I first thought.

Yeah, this one probably wasn't worth the effort, but I don't care because I enjoyed the project. :)

I have a powr kraft wood lathe I'm going to clean up a bit and I was wondering what paint you used on this vice?

@Mikeattempts Жыл бұрын

It was some Ace Rust Stop Gloss Safety Blue spray paint, from Ace Hardware, left over from a previous project.

What is that washer/cotter pin think called that you removed at 1:32? I have an old vise that’s missing one.

I had to look it up, but it's called an E-Clip.
