what became of Record becnch vises?

[Kurt]

Hi,

No one seems to sell Record bench vises anymore. I googled "record vise" and got a lot of threads. I saw some mail about getting close-outs. Did Record discontinue their bench vises? If so, does anyone have recommendations for a substitute for a 53E?

Look under woodworking, special buys if the link breaks. IIRC the company

Rubbermaid, Record (destroyed), Nooitgedagt tools in Holland (destroyed), all part of the Irwin tools beast. Alex

I checked two Toronto local retailers and both say that Record is not making the "quick release" woodworking vises anymore. Lee Valley still sells their "permanent vise" which does not have the quick release feature.

All this has to do with Record's new owners of course...

bought this one (watch the wrap), and have been happy with it.

Anybody know a shop in the Toronto area (or mail-order for Canada) that carries this Groz quick-release vise?
