Got one probably older then that every time I loan it out I have to chase it to get it back. you can dress those jaws with a fine triangle file, make them like new
I dressed up the jaws in my Pops Ridgid pipe wrench with a thin die grinder cut off wheel. I don't use it much, and wanted to keep it like Dad had it, but more serviceable when I needed it while replacing my furnace and replumbing the gas lines.
The Great Hacker has always been so smart to find the best equipment there is. I used one just like that on in the 1970’s doing electrical work . Every hole has a use if you research it ! Great find, the American Pickers have nothing on you. Use it with great care, it is an antique !!!! Your teeth would be wore out if you were that old .
Every hole does have a use, many tools can be hung, conduit and copper bent. I enjoy collecting old plumbing and electrical tools. One of my go to 14" pipe wrenches has to be 70 years old and teeth are still good. Ridgid tools always outlast whoever bought them. Today I was working in a church and a 48" aluminum ridgid with patent numbers was on a table. I wish I could of made an offer to anyone for it. Teeth looked brand new other than some rust.
just got one of these, it's a Reed R450+. mine is real wobbly where the legs hook up to the work surface. when that woman's dad's plumbing company switched over to the power threader, the dad brought it home
Sweet score. A couple years ago I picked up an Armstrong brand tristand with a yoke vise, circa 1920's from a junkyard. Made in New Britain Connecticut. Only 20$, nothing wrong, in great shape.
Nice Score!! Spray it down with Gunk Engine Brite. Get a small Triangle File and touch up the jaws, paint the chain with Marvel Mystery Oil, and your good for another 50 years. Best of luck.................
Great Find You can find parts for it from Ridgid. We use their pipe thread machine for making anchor bolts which is hard on it so we needs parts for it all the time.
Very awesome! I would say i love to get that from a customer also.. Once in a attic.,i found some gauges old yellow jackets,4 boxes of 6" duct new and a new 30# of R12, the lady said her husband was a maintenance / hvac jack of all trades in the day.. Well she said to please take them.,i offered her 100 ..she said no because i fixed her ac system and did a couple extra things for her.. So i would say she pretty much made my day...the R12. Im assuming is worth 1000..and the gauges were in good shape except the hoses.. So yea..great find ( hvav hacker),. And until the next find... Awesome pipe bending tool... Keep up the good videos. Thx for sharing...
It's always nice of a customer to allow us to take away whats trash to them and gold to us. I had a similar situation there was an old NYE Tabletop Pipe Vise, A tabletop regular vise, A few really old Ridgid pipe threaders, and conduit benders. Only the tabletop vise have I used yet. This was a few years back. The NYE pipe vise is right behind the table I take my tools out of my bag in my everyday carry video
That loop on the leg had a few links of light chain and a snap connector like on a dog collar to hold the three legs together in transport. You will put it to good use. New ones are several hundred bucks by now.
You're lucky it was in a basement and stayed dry; I just got one from a lady who let her father's old tri-vise sit outdoors, and now it is all rusted up.
I like old tools. they were made with virgin steel unlike todays tools with recycled steel. Plus the history some tools have experienced. This one was used by a large outfit. Ridgid tools will outlast the person who buys them
BILL THE ONLY TOOLS ON MY VAN ARE RIGGID AND MILWAUKEE !!!!!! GREAT FIND CANT WAIT TOO SEND U A SHIT LOAD OF TOOL MY CO I HAVE 25 OF EVERYTHING FROM OVER YR S AS U KNOW AM A 4TH GEN PLUMBER !!!! AND ALLWAY UP GREADING TOOLS TALK SOON EDBONJOVI AKA LEAK MASTER
Ridgid are the best. No other brand builds tools that are almost indestructible, unless you put a 5 foot steel pipe on a 14” wrench. Yet that’s just pure abuse to the little wrench 🔧
Nice old find but the first six minutes is just watching him spray water. Wire brush, brake cleaner parts cleaner followed by compressed air and WD-40 on all moving parts that’s all you need
I been using evaporations rust in my ultrasonic. i been cleaning up a lot of rusty steel pipe and fittings. 1"- 2". Didn't want to throw money away. Only downfall they no longer look like black pipe. The evaporations rust took the color away. It speeds up cleaning in the ultrasonic
@@thehvachacker from what I know and here, they were all assembled on site from pieces, so residential likely was just a few guys at once and much a single

That was a nice find. I have a bench mounted Rigid pipe vise, but the stand you have is nice and portable. Mineral spirits would degunk/de-grease it.

Same deal with me it was my dads now mine and now my son has it. It will never die LOL
Ridgid makes tools to last forever. Unlike many other companies. I will try filing the teeth on the jaw. Thanks for the great idea👍
quit loaning that thing out
Sometimes customers give the coolest things to us. They have no idea what they have sometimes. Those are the ones I go the way extra mile for.
Even if they new have no use for it. I figured I could buy it for less than 50 yet a gift is even better
Thats how my stuff is gonna end up, given away to the handyman

Hacker that was an awesome find. Only if I could be that lucky. Peace brother
It really was. I offered money and instead the homeowner was happy I was just removing it from the basement
That loop on the leg had a few links of light chain and a snap connector like on a dog collar to hold the three legs together in transport. You will put it to good use. New ones are several hundred bucks by now.
All the ones at my shop have the chain, Its one of the parts I will be ordering to fix this up.
nice dinosaur score :)
Time for this tool to come out of retirement.
Awesome video. Thanks
Thanks for enjoying, This was an awesome gift
Cleaning out the house of my in-laws and found three of these. Looking to sell all three. Any idea on a price?

80 bucks

New tools are good... yet old tools are the best. They tend to outlast everything!!

Nice
WD=Water Displacement. I guess I can look forward to a video of you using this soon
Yes this tool will get used before I get a chance to restore it.
I have one just like it nice vice
It has some history yet I will give it a new life
don't need a new handle either. take it apart and gently clean up the welds with a grinder

Use it well!
I will. This vise was built to be used not collecting dust in someones basement
How much

Evapo rust makes a gel that works good

@@thehvachacker Can you put that in and ultrasonic cleaner
@@thehvachacker Yes it's Going to doll the finished that's why you have to Polish the metal afterwards
If it's aluminum it can't be too old.
Also, I wouldn't call post-WW2 "Antique".
what that ES1 or ESI? maybe the guys initials?
I will have to take a look later on. Whoever originally owned it used this a lot. I don’t think I will ever thread up that kind of steel pipe
@@thehvachacker I pretty much always thread one pipe end per water heater install. I hate flexy noodle tubing and they're always off an inch or three
It’s ES1. Could be companies initials, vise 1 of 2. Yet I doubt anyone could do boilers alone back 40-70 years ago
@@thehvachacker from what I know and here, they were all assembled on site from pieces, so residential likely was just a few guys at once and much a single
you don't need a new jaw brother. dress it with a file if you want, but it'll grip pipe just fine
Lucky dog.
Yes this was a great gift
А у меня почти такой же есть. Можете поздравить с приобретением.😃
