TerryB Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Ok, no secret here that it’s a small hobby vise. The question is its origin; was it some type of Chevy give-away item for a mechanic or sales award? There have been one or two on eBay but none have had any background story on it. Any info would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
54vicky Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 the way the jaws are lined up(not) I would think that it came from the orient.low quality junk I am sure no company would put their logo on it probably a chevrolet fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30DodgePanel Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Looks like an old Craftsman vacuum vise with Chevy sticker. Guessing the jaws are off due to the poor lightweight design, probably an import as suggested. Can you post a photo of the bottom ?

TerryB Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Several just like it have shown up on eBay so I don’t think it’s a one off creation and with the vacuum base it’s not old. My son uses it for his hobby projects and we both were wondering if it was a Chevy give away item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30DodgePanel Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Try "Vacu Vise by General" looks like a hit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
