I found an old cigar box that was my grandpas with some nice chisels (still sharp) and a few hex wrenches and this item that I don't know it's purpose.  Does anyone know what it is? A clamp? A mini-vise? What would I use it for? | ||

It's a hand vise for holding small parts for cutting ,filing, grinding etc. Regards, Kent j You can learn something from everyone you meet, If nothing else you can learn you don't want to be like them It's only racist to those who want it to be. It's a magazine, clips are for potato chips and hair | |||

It's obviously to clamp or hold something from moving, and not very tightly, since only a wingnut is used to tighten it. But what, I haven't the foggiest. | |||

It's a hand vise. Also known as a Gunmaker's or Rifleman's Vise. Grandpa a gunsmith? (That could be worth a few coins as an antique btw. As high as $100?)   This message has been edited. Last edited by: kkina, | |||

Looks like a pre-60’s roach clip. We will never know world peace, until three people can simultaneously look each other straight in the eye Liberals are like pussycats and Twitter is Trump's laser pointer to keep them busy while he takes care of business - Rey HRH. | |||

Sometimes known as a jeweler's vise, I think. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

I've seen them from time to time at antique shows, and are usually called a "pin vice". Unhappy ammo seeker | |||

If you are working with a sharp tool, much better to hold the part with a hand vice rather than with the hand. Ask me how I know (8 stitches if I remember, but that is not as bad as the look I got from my wife  )."Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.

Ah, that would explain why it was in the box with the chisels. | |||
