The odd thing is a friend just last week loaded it into my car and saying that I got it at a garage sale and left behind at his house. I have have no recollection of ever seeing it before. I was about to throw it out, when the Brownell's flyer came today in the mail with a picture of the $220 Multi-Vice. Now I think I will keep my old treasure. The swivel locks when the jaws are tightened. Sometimes old designs are worth copying. Sometimes old tools are worth keeping.
