... this is getting old and ruining an otherwise informative thread. I would 'ignore' both of you, but you both have useful things to offer when you're not flirting with one another.

I'll summarize the substance of y'all's argument so we can move on:

Ted hates Phillips head screws and thinks brand new Wilton (and maybe Morgan??) mechanic or machinist's vises are the only reasonable option. His Wilton vise serves him well in a number of capacities. He also hates Lowe's. And his 26 year old vise qualifies as brand new.

jOe thinks Ted's vise and pole are too shiny and he hates old bikes and ginormous machines that have bearings to be pressed. He finds the versa vise to be very useful for detail work and has no trouble with it being unstable (meaning that it is not unstable- not that he doesn't mind instability) even for larger gun work, despite the Phillips head screws. He also hates something called coon rapids.

Did I miss anything?
