@@scruffy6151 whats funny is we've all been there and done that but we keep doing it over and over cause hand tapping is painfully slow and most of the time drill power tapping works.
I like this restoration because it reminds me of your earliest work, simple and short, but Lamp chain? Come on man you’re better than that. Definitely a specialty tool.
I inherited one of these from my Grandpa. Such an interesting piece of equipment. Mine is missing the drilling pieces, but the vice parts still work. The rail on mine is also bent, haha. I'm guessing they didn't design it to handle angry-farmer-at-2am-during-harvest ft-lbs. Nice job on the restoration, it looks fantastic. With the vice bolted to a table the drilling would at least make a little more sense. It seems like a big design oversight though that you can't clamp something in the vice and then drill it...I guess that would have required another set of threads and an extra crank, making this even more of an unwieldy Frankenstein's monster.
My thoughts exactly.just clamp your material and use a brace and bit to drill your hole being in the early 1900s a brace and bit is what you would use to drill anyway . So why incorporate it into the vice where you have to keep tightening the material with each turn of the drill? Seems like a laborious way to drill a hole even in the 1900s . But beyond that it’s a fantastic restoration of a redundant tool.
Hey, mr HandToolRescue, I just want to say that we at home love your content. I watch your content with my mom because we love repairing videos, we love when stuff gets fixed or gain new life, but we particularly love your videos because of your humor. It is special because my mom doesn't like to watch much english content because the doesn't know the language (we are non-native speakers of english, we are from Brazil), but you are one of the few channels in english that she actually likes to watch. Simultaneous translation kind of became part of the routine for translating your jokes to portuguese... hahahaha Love your videos. Your humor makes you special.
I have a theory... The drill part is not intended to be used by one person only. It needs two: one person holds the work piece while the other spins the drill and, at the same time, applies constant pressure with the vise screw. It's pretty pointless with wood but if you put a steel work piece in there it starts to make a bit of sense. I don't see why it would make sense as a regular drill. The vise bit is just a "handy" add-on then since it has a lead screw and all.
@@AnttiBrax I was thinking what you were, we also take things like battery powered tools nowadays for granted so If something was being done away from town/power you’d have a mini drill press available even if it took two people, tools weren’t exactly small or light back then, just judging by the way things are pinned and chained the idea very well might have been “portable”

There wasn’t much he couldn’t do using that, as it was HIS preferred vise. Awesome to see one again, and as usual you’ve done an outstanding job bringing her back to life, I especially like the brazing scars, they give it some more class😉!

That is a very interesting tool? I completely thought the drill portion would have advanced by itself while drilling but upon realising that I did remember the spindle is held in place with washers and no screw mechanism. To crank the vice then drill then crank the vice and vice versa is a bit of a pain, but it's definately an incredible piece non the less so great job!
I can hear the guy selling this from a cart just yelling, "Do you want everything you do in the workshop to be fractionally harder and more frustrating? Well get rid of all those dull old 'designed for the job' tools and buy our unidentifiable homonculus of three of them"
I've got one just like this. So far all I've done is derust it. It's missing the drill base but otherwise in decent/well used shape. Great job on the restoration.
Well, that is definitely one of those, and definitely the first one of them I've seen. I can't help thinking "but, why?" And now I want one for no other reason than the sheer wtf value
Magnífica restauración - mejor que cuando era nuevo - y coincido contigo: Como herramienta, es muy RARA y poco práctica, además de mostrar ser poco resistente. Como pieza antigua de patente, una belleza exótica. Ahora entiendo los pocos años que estuvo en el mercado. Saludos desde MÉXICO¡.
Pretty sure you are supposed to lock the wood in place with the vice and then drill. If you were drilling a lot of the same hole e.g. in wooden droppers for wire stock fencing, this thing would be a massive boon over just a hand crank drill.
I have never seen a vice like that before, and you made a great job of the restoration as usual. Some suggestions, you could really benefit from a hand press and or a fly press, Perhaps you could find one of each to restore? Also, using hand taps in a drill or machine is always going to end in disaster. Use machine taps if you are going to tap holes using a power tool - they don't break, especially if you use some lubricant. Always tap at a low speed.
Thank you for saving this rare oddball tool. I've never seen one. The brazing and straightening of the beam would have stopped me. The job looks really good.
I guess if you want to drill a straight hole horizontally this is the vise for you. Seems like quite a bit of work though. Very nice restoration, keep up the great work Eric.
Thanks for a great video! I have two of these that I bought several years ago but they do not have the support for the drill press attachment. I didn’t truly understand the function of the vise until I saw your video. Now that I know how it is supposed to to work it will be my next project.
Wait for it...wait for it....yes! Quick face plant at the sand blaster! Night made!👍🏻😆 Versatile little vice..even has an anvil on it! Nice resto! Good job!!
@@Sjackson2369 Best way I've found to break taps is to flex and bend them. The best way I've found to NOT break taps is insure they're never flexed or bent. I.e. use a "tap press" or if you're in a mill, chuck up a dead-center and place it in the centering divot of the tapping tool. I also prefer to do 50% depth threads in steel instead of 75% threads. Way less tapping torque and holds well enough. (oh, and use TapMagic. cuts the torque in half)
I seriously can't wait to see your next videos! I have watched every video on this channel and I am always amazed by the work you do! Thanks for preserving history.
Unusual old vise that must have had a very specific job. Nice job restoring it but I think I would have cleaned up the jaws and left them as original. I like the Japanning.
Why, this is a fabulous gewgaw, a wonderful whatchamacallit, dare I say a spectacular oojamaflip. I bet the original owner had to pay three easy payments of $9.99 for it.
That's an amazing device. You did a terrific job. Don't be offended when I criticize the concept. In my view, this kind of thing is just awkward in the sense that anyone who could afford something as complex and thereby expensive as this thing could and should have every other tool that this device was meant to substitute for. In other words, limited use, which is probably why it didn't become a 'standard' tool found in every workshop, barn or garage. Same reason I never bought one of those Cub Scout pocket-knifes that have a fork and spoon attached.
I'm starting to think that his true goal is to scare off as many people as possible by incrementally making the intro more and more trashy with every new post. …pun intended.
This one looks like it was filmed with a camera placed on a flimsy stool or something while someone is breaking up the concrete floor around it with a jackhammer.
I'm still not sure we know. The only way it would make sense, as a tool, is if the vice actually held the item to be drilled, and it doesn't do that, like, at all. It makes you wonder if a piece is missing or backwards or something's broken. what an odd implement.
Swivel vice solution to keep it from drifting - is take apart, but mark before hand where vice position is facing forward. Drill on the rim where the swivel clamps live. Take vice apart and drill I would say 1/4" holes, which will lock down the vice in that position. You can also drill holes around the rim, 45 degrees on each side. Worked like a dream for my unit.
I kept yelling this at my screen. Plus the fact that he keeps tapping holes with a drill...that terrifies me. Doing it by hand not only makes for better video but it's way less likely to snap taps
It's funny. I watched this video immediately after watching Adam Savage talk about how you can never use too much tapping fluid and how much of a PITA a broken tap is to remove.
There are a lot of vices that has a small anvil portion, but this is the first time I've seen one with a drill. And after seeing that drill being used I understand why I've never seen one before... It's very uncommon for a combination tool to be really good at all the things it supposedly can be used for. At best they are handy to have when you just don't have the space or the money for real tools, and some combos are not all that bad. A small anvil portion on a vice can be handy if you are just doing some light tapping, but are usually not strong enough to take a lot of abuse. Thing is they don't make the vice worse to use. That drill function on the other hand was just painful to watch. If what you were going to drill could be clamped in the vice jaws and then drilled it would just be strange and very limited in use, but how it worked now it was just painful to watch. But this proves that useless bullet points on a spec sheet was a thing even back in 1915 or whenever this was dreamt up.

Had me going with that second tap drill on the handle....was waiting for it to break too!
Essa eu nunca tinha visto muito top👍👍👍
That beginning had me laughing, ACTUALLY LAUGHING and not just breathing harder through my nose! THANK YOU! I NEEDED THAT!
They're called TAP HANDLES!! Please for the sake of God and humanity use a tap handle! Now I'll never get to sleep tonight!
That was the plan buddy
Maybe he should restore a Tap handle next... Watching him tap these holes hurt my brain.
There are a lot of vices that has a small anvil portion, but this is the first time I've seen one with a drill. And after seeing that drill being used I understand why I've never seen one before...
It's very uncommon for a combination tool to be really good at all the things it supposedly can be used for. At best they are handy to have when you just don't have the space or the money for real tools, and some combos are not all that bad. A small anvil portion on a vice can be handy if you are just doing some light tapping, but are usually not strong enough to take a lot of abuse. Thing is they don't make the vice worse to use. That drill function on the other hand was just painful to watch. If what you were going to drill could be clamped in the vice jaws and then drilled it would just be strange and very limited in use, but how it worked now it was just painful to watch.
But this proves that useless bullet points on a spec sheet was a thing even back in 1915 or whenever this was dreamt up.
Not going to lie, I’d have laughed if that second tap broke.
Great intro. Looking forward to see more of your work!!
Top muito bom incrível cada vez melhor!
Nice! Hand Tool Rescue time! Need a break from Drain Addict. Just for now. Excited.

Hello there! Seems like this is the place to be.
@ItsYaBoi ErrSkinnYP3n15 I was simply amazed to find both AvE and Rinoa in the same comment section. Channels I have been in contact with for a number of years.
I am the missing link! Haha
It needs to be more things.
@@HandToolRescue The missing link! Yes that's it. You obviously are completing some kind of very strange mosaic right here. (mumbling:) Riddles in the dark...
THAT REMIX KILLED ME, thank you HTR. I needed that.
Wasn't expecting the die grinder to sound like a screaming woman!😂
You've done a really nice job of that, the japaning is stunning
Thanks!
I'm more confused than a homeless guy under house arrest.
Have one in the basement on my workbench. I may have to follow your lead and give it a facelift. You did a fantastic job.
I like the "Its a boy" Pencil : D
Its a secret hint.. theres a mini handtool rescue coming
Gives adjustable feed rate a whole new meaning. Love that finish Eric👌
