Record Vice bites dust

[DickDastardly40]

I'm not sure of their standing if any anywhere else in the world but in the UK, Record is considered a quality bench vice(vise) manufacturer. I was rather to stunned to see the outcome of trying to straighten an aluminium deck cleat. I was not even present, let alone the person providing the motive power, but was surprised to see a vice fail in this way. In the two later pictures you can see where the cleat was peeled from the deck sheering the weld by an impact and the bent cleat.

Well, I have broken a couple of Records myself, different styles. Both during tighting. The good part is you now have cast for cylinders.

Hey Al,
Typical navy rough a*** devils for you.
How long was the pipe they used on the handle?

But as Kenny says, engines for years to come.

Grind out the cracks and weld it back up. It can have more life in it.

Never hold with welds. Trash it and find a good Columbian.
