A friend gave me this because he did not what it was or how to work, and I said I knew just the group to ask.

Anyone know what it is? Amd equally important, does anyone want it?

If I am not mistaken that is one of those be all end all products hawked in a TV info commercial years ago. I am 95% certain of it.

It is a Zyliss portable vice.

Just searched it and you are correct.

Anyone have any use for it?

I can make use of it. I sold mine about 6 years ago, and have regretted doing so on more than one occasion when a portable vise would have saved a lot of labor.

Neat! I'd have a use for it, executing kitchen table luthier projects.

First in gets it. Send me your info and I'll ship it to you.

It’s a combination can opener and cat neutering device.

I have one, have rarely used it. Recently saw a video of a British woodworker, Peter Parfitt, who has a YouTube Channel “The New Brit Workshop”.
He considers them extremely useful for woodworking, but apparently hard to come by now.
Yes, I bought mine at a Cal Expo home show probably 30 years ago; it’s in fine shape and I look forward to using it now that I am finally getting a decent workshop in order.

BTW it’s cast aluminum, so it will actually buff out nicely.

It's a Binford 1260 Master Clamper knock off.

Yeah , it's a quarter of the price,
But when you need titanium ,go Binford.

You are missing the soft jaw pads...
maybe he has them and didn't realize they went with it?

I swear, the knowledgeable folks here, always amaze me. I looked up the zyliss portable clamp, guess there is one on eBay for $50 right now. Plus shipping.
Had never heard of it before this post.

And I was going to guess it was a Rubiks Clamp.

Poacher: Thank you!

You have email from me.

WOW. I forgot I have one. I was in upstate NY in the Navy back in 1976. Went to the state fair and bought the entire kit. I still have in the box. Pretty handy and have used about a dozen times.

Wow, an NIB Swiss aluminum-frame vise! Keep it in the safe, man! You don’t want any marks on the faces! Lucky bastard.
