Snap on hand tools, if you use them every day and need them for a living absolutely. As a gear head in the garage, not so much. My dad is a mechanic, bought a snap on everything in the 70s and still uses all of them the original set to this day. Beating them pounding them, still going. I just use craftsmen and they work just fine, but I only use them in the garage and don't rely on them for living.
I bought quite a few Snap-On tools when I was working at the dealership, but now, many years later, I have an assortment of brands. Even Harbor Freight offers a lifetime warranty on most of their tools.
The Two more payments comment is funny ! I’m guessing this was a Wilton,Rebranded for Snap On ? Then marked up 300% yes I know. They come to you and Service it plus Warranty it !
I appreciate that you showed the majority of the sandblasting process, most restoration channels show a few clips then skips to the finished pieces. Love watching sandblasting.
I was very impressed to see you use only a modest and restrained amount of grease during assembly. Many people slather on enough to sink a battleship which just oozes out everywhere and makes a mess. It was a very careful and thoughtful restoration.
Wow! Really well done! Love the attention to detail. Not only did you clean and paint but also polish, fill, and remove some of the rough casting, so well done. Also love that you are not afraid to show you love Jesus! Keep it up brother! Glad I found the channel.
At first I thought, $400 for a vise, but then when you start tearing it down and you see the build quality of the part and the effort you put into it. I understand. What an amazing job you did!

Snap-On is worth it for sure. If for no other reason they were once at the Top of us mechanics for tool choice & quality . That Lathe is perfect for doing restoration work 👍
Not anymore, lol. Snap on used to have great manufacturing materials and great manufacturing partners like the one that branded their own vice with snap-on for them (this video). But not anymore. They have great tools, their ratchets are still phenomenal. But their sockets, especially the impact sockets have taken a steep downturn. I've had a Pittsburgh socket i picked up from harbor freight about 5 years ago because my snap on one broke and the truck hadn't come by yet. Grabbed a new snap-on socket from the truck. I've had to warranty that socket 5 times now, it kept splitting. My Pittsburgh is still going strong, and I've used it more than the snap-on. Been through more abuse too.
@@doodlecaboodle9298sounds like he didn’t come back because your cheap ass only paid him $10 a week. So why would he come back to warranty your socket? You say they’re not the best when they are literally the only tool truck brand to still manufacture their own tools here in the US. Mac damn sure doesn’t, and everything matco sells are rebranded harbor freight tools. On top of that, they’re so expensive as a result of using US materials and building here. There are some exceptions but there’s not a better tool around. I’ve had plenty of harbor freight tools, they’re all ass compared to my snap-on stuff. I like Milwaukee, but their power tools are lacking in power to my snap on ones. I’ve had plenty experience with both to know. If you can’t tell the difference, you aren’t using your tools enough🤷🏻♂️

Good work on the restoration. I really like the addition of the rubber O-rings on the main vice handle to help with the clinking when letting it fall. Always a great and satisfying watch, I look forward to the next upload!
Real nice! I restored a huge columbia a few years ago. I used a dry lube on the screw so it wouldn't attract dirt. Also used boiled linseed oil and set the parts out in the sun on a hot summer day. It has an aged metal look and no signs of rust. They don't make them like they used to, that's for sure.
This is what I’m looking for. I need a vise, but want an older one. My dad had a Rock Island vice and that’s kind of what I’m looking for. Something that takes whatever you throw at it. I recently saw a Snap On one for sale, just like this one and was thinking about jumping on it. The one you just did came out wonderful. Thanks for the video.
Sweet, you got a metal lathe, and a nice vice better than new. I can't think of anybody that deserves it more than you. I like them tool restoration videos.
I immediately knew when I saw JOHN 3: 16 this was going to be a great video. Love the vintage 70’s Craftsman Bench grinder. I think it’s safe to say this Snap-on Vise is better than new. Beautiful job. I wish you the best with that VEVOR Lathe. I have an Atlas 10" Lathe a friend gave me and a few Wilton Bullet Vises, I can’t believe how expensive these Vises are. I love old machinery, Vises and Machinists Clamps. I have a miniature Starrett Machinist vise, it’s just beautiful too... Great Video brother.
I’m proud of the Wilton 8300 that I rebuilt, but wow! What beautiful work you did on this. (Which is identical to the Wilton.) Be blessed by the loving salvation of God.
These are so enjoyable to watch. There something so satisfying in seeing an item that has been used/neglected and watching the process of it being taken back to it's original form and redone. It puts me in such a zen state watching the transformation. The funny thing too is that looks very similar to my Wilton bullet vice. EDIT Just realized on the side it say 1750! That's the exact one my Wilton is! So nice. Saving this video for when I want to restore mine!!
Snap on is a good brand and has been here for a long time. I’ve always been an advocate of good quality tools. I recently at age 70 bought a $250.00 carpenter’s hammer. I couldn’t afford it till now.
That's some incredible restoration work you did. If I'd done that restoration, I would be hesitant to actually use that vise because it looks so beautiful.
I restored a Wilton 1750 a few years ago and then promptly put it back in service. It didn't take long to get it dirty, scratched, burned and dinged up. I always struggle with restoration of a work item, because they are beautiful until they are used the way they were intended.
I cleaned up and re painted and greased an old wilton C-1 with pipe jaws, casting marks had the body of the vise cast in 1947. Thissnap on shape looks a lot like the old wiltons
I usually skip to the end but I watched this video from start to finish. Amzing work bud. Instant sub! Looking forward to more videos. Aloha from Hawaii 🤙🤙
Always enjoy your restoration videos! I recently had found your channel and literally just caught up on all of your videos this past week! Was waiting for a New one and Voila!, here it is, another great restoration! I especially like your eye for detail in your work, it truly makes the difference! Thanks for always sharing and keep up the great work!
Superb vid & wonderful to watch the attention to detail you put into this project. I very much like the particular vice too, I`ve never seen one in the UK before & to my eyes quite unique in design.
This is an easy restoration. Someone that might be just getting into, or thinking about getting into restoring old items. should start with something like this.
Nice video and good job! I've got an old 1760 Wilton bullet vice on a shelf somewhere. It has not been restored but is in good shape as is. I've got a pretty decent vice on the bench now, but I should pull that out and give it a quick restoration and paint. I've heard they are the best vices out there.
Can't be sure if mine is Model 1750 or not, but seeing this makes me want to redo my vise. Mine still is in use and works pretty good. Thanks for sharing!!
Yep! From what I understand, Wilton made them, they were painted red and put a Snap-on name plate on the side. I actually bought the replacement name plates from Wilton. Have a great day!
Now I'm confused about where to keep the vise in the garage or in the kitchen Because this looks very much like the Kitchen Aid mixer 😂 Good neat job sir 👍
Saw a journeyman toolmaker of 40 years loose a thumb using sandpaper on a lathe the exact same way. Clamp the ends of the sand paper in vise grips and keep the paper much shorter so it can’t wrap around the workpiece. Awesome restoration though!
Debate: Is Snap-on worth it?
Let me know below! 👇
Thanks for watching and have a Blessed day!
Snap on hand tools, if you use them every day and need them for a living absolutely. As a gear head in the garage, not so much.

@BrokenMachine7230 disagree wholeheartedly, if i was a billionaire i still wouldnt buy strap ons
I bought quite a few Snap-On tools when I was working at the dealership, but now, many years later, I have an assortment of brands. Even Harbor Freight offers a lifetime warranty on most of their tools.
remove cast lines.
How much to restore mine? I have the same vise, pretty sentimental and I’d love to have it redone
Legend has it, the original guy who purchased the vise only has two payments left!
Excellent restoration!!! Beautiful!!
Poor guy! Literally 😁 have a great week!
😀
If you bought the Wilton version....$150. If you bought the identical snap-on branded Wilton made vise....$500
The Two more payments comment is funny ! I’m guessing this was a Wilton,Rebranded for Snap On ? Then marked up 300% yes I know. They come to you and Service it plus Warranty it !
@@craigmonteforte6111 I sure hope you are kidding about coming to you being a justification for their indentured servitude business model.
No crappy music to cover up this labor of love. I’ve come to the right place
I Appreciate it!
And no blabbering, no novice intro, no watching someone make their espresso. Just smartly edited, pure restoration. It calms my overstressed nerves. 😂
@@brianrosenlof388 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thanks ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,true...................
I appreciate that you showed the majority of the sandblasting process, most restoration channels show a few clips then skips to the finished pieces. Love watching sandblasting.
Im a sucker for vise restorations. I brought back to life an unmolested 1947 Wilton HD 4" bullet vise. Ever since then, im hooked
I'm curious. What is the average prison time for molesting a vise these days?
Sweet! Good work!
Unmolested 🤔
@@CaptainPudwhy, did you get caught with your pecker stuck in a vice? Lololol 🤣
Narrow understanding of words.
I was very impressed to see you use only a modest and restrained amount of grease during assembly. Many people slather on enough to sink a battleship which just oozes out everywhere and makes a mess. It was a very careful and thoughtful restoration.
Thanks much! I appreciate it! Have a great rest of your week!
I would have welcomed a different colour grease like blue or red. The black one looked dirty
Me when greasing my penn 70z.
Snap On wants their vise back now. It wasn't that good looking when it was new off the Line. Bravo Great Work!
Wow! Really well done! Love the attention to detail. Not only did you clean and paint but also polish, fill, and remove some of the rough casting, so well done. Also love that you are not afraid to show you love Jesus! Keep it up brother! Glad I found the channel.
Amen
Yes - a Snap-On vise is just a rebranded American Made Wilton Bullet Vise painted red. EXCELLENT vise though!!
I’m pretty happy with it. It’s probably the nicest vise I will ever own! Thanks for the comment and have a blessed weekend
Somebody still paying monthly for this vise😂
Probably lol
Weekly and if they defaulted, Snap-On put a garnishment on the paycheck and a 1099 for undeclared income.
It is a Craftman. See at 4:00.
I have never ever once seen this joke before….. ever…. Thanks for the comment!
😂😂😂
Its nice to see a restoration vs throw away and buy new stuff
Or the ones who say "This screw is to worn. I'll make a new one!" And then he spends hours making a new screw to show off his expensive lathe.
At first I thought, $400 for a vise, but then when you start tearing it down and you see the build quality of the part and the effort you put into it. I understand. What an amazing job you did!
yeah and that is still for the super used version of it, they can go for 1-2k new!
You ain't getting that vise for 400. It's 200 bucks for an arbor freight cheap vise now. You couldn't touch that vise for under 1200 bucks.
My father was a Snap-on Tools field manager (#1 in eastern US) for 30 years. This vice looks identical to the vice he has in his garage.
I picked one up for free from a retired mechanic . A good find, it will serve me for many years
Great find! It will last!
It's refreshing to see someone actually using "paint" vs. powder coat.
Thanks! Someone else said they would have powder coated it. We all have an opinion and that is good! 👍
To take something that's old and beat up and make it look better than new is a person who has appreciation for his toys...

WOW.... I REALLY LOVE THAT SUPER OLD CRAFTSMAN GRINDER. glad to see it still in good working order..
..............................................the thing looked rarely used , and kept indoors....................like new...............
You no doubt made that old vise look better than it did when it was new. It was an amazing job.
Good work on the restoration. I really like the addition of the rubber O-rings on the main vice handle to help with the clinking when letting it fall. Always a great and satisfying watch, I look forward to the next upload!

I put o rings on my woodwork vices to help protect my grand children's fingers

your work and attention to detail is incredible!
Thank you very much! Have a great week!
Wow that drill chuck adapter thingy is amazing
It is pretty cool!
Great restoration! The chrome with the coulours realy makes the vise POP. It is a good vise having the other inner jaws for round section clamping.
Thank you very much! I think it will be handy to have around the shop!
Absolutely beautiful. Not just some quick paint job like in other videos on this subject. Attention to detail was excellent.well done. Paul from 🇬🇧 uk

Usually the base is broken from not properly clinched down snap on makes awesome tools totally worth it
You should really look into using bottoming taps to chase those holes

Brilliant work, well done. It looks great. Keep up the excellent work. I look forward to more videos 👏
What a lovely vise ! Sand blaster is a Priceless machine...👍, excellent work..🌟👌
Thanks 👍 I appreciate it!

Very cool! That is a great gift. Thanks for sharing and have a great day!
Excellent work, congratulations

Wow! Beautiful restoration!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I would not use it again. Instead it would become the centerpiece on my China cabinet 😊! Well done!
Thank you! 😊 it would make a nice paper weight 😁
Very, very well done. I usually don't care for red, but that is impressive.
Thank you very much! Red was the original color but another color would have been nice as well. That being said I do like the red. Have a great week!
Had to go look at the snap on vise in my garage! It never looked that good when it was brand new out of box?

Hello mister beautiful restoration beautifully restored good job well done
Thank you very much! Have a great day!
Exceptional work! Truly remarkable!
Thank you very much!

You went out and bought a brand new vise to fool us - admit it. I watched @ normal speed front to back. (rare for me) 10/10
Beautiful restoration. Excellent
Thank you very much!
I would be afraid to use it, it looks amazing…well done 👍🏻
That was a beautiful restoration!
Thank you very much!
Can't be sure if mine is Model 1750 or not, but seeing this makes me want to redo my vise. Mine still is in use and works pretty good. Thanks for sharing!!
Better that when it came out of the Wilton factory. Great job.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Jako!
It looks great and you did a wonderful job restoring it as well!!!!
I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up
Thank you very much!
If it wasn't for the Snap-on nameplates on this, I'd have assumed it was a Wilton bullet vice. They are so similar.
It is
Yep! From what I understand, Wilton made them, they were painted red and put a Snap-on name plate on the side. I actually bought the replacement name plates from Wilton. Have a great day!
They probably made this one!
This is of a trade man’s vise then an actual bullet vise.
Trademen yes. And wilton likely did make it. P.S. i just read above comments. Don't roast me please
I like that little lathe chuck for your drill motor.
Beautiful restoration. Nicely done
Thanks much! I appreciate you watching. Have a great week!
Nice job🤌 i love old vises... I would've been a little bit more generous with the grease though
perfect work.
too good to work with
I appreciate it! Have a great day!!
It's just amazing how well it all polishes and shines so well😮
Wow didn't know Snap On made vises back in 1750. A true American original.
They didn’t. That’s the model number.
Too nice to use. I'd put it on my desk and use it as a paper weight !
Lol I’ll be using it. Might be painful though….
Now I'm confused about where to keep the vise in the garage or in the kitchen
Because this looks very much like the Kitchen Aid mixer 😂
Good neat job sir 👍
Beautiful restoration!

Saw a journeyman toolmaker of 40 years loose a thumb using sandpaper on a lathe the exact same way. Clamp the ends of the sand paper in vise grips and keep the paper much shorter so it can’t wrap around the workpiece. Awesome restoration though!
