you break the closed jaws of your vice while banging on a piece of thin aluminum with a RUBBER MALLET.  OK I know a vise is not a anvil, and yes it is the light duty from our chinese friends at Harbor Freight,  but I was just trying to straighten a piece of 18 gauge aluminum sheet.  I'm talknig maybe three thicknesses of window flashing!!!!! 

 

Time to upgrade to Taiwan........Oh well the beer is cold and tasty!!!!

Yup I was doing a little more abuse to mine but I broke it too. Replacement it from Menards and so far has done well. Lifetime warranty too.

Just curious: when they say a life time warranty - who's life are they talking about? If it's the life of the vise as soon as it breaks then they will say that's the end of its life. I don't worry about life time warranty - all that stuff will last longer than me anyway.

Did you not see what I did to the last vise???? I only got 2-3 summers out of that one.

last vice I broke was smoking...

 

I also busted one after about 25 years of hard use...it was a HF model..for the money did its job well..replaced it with another HF..this one look already rougher than the other one when it cracked..good forged vise is as much as a project car...

lets just say I left the Camel in the desert...and no longer go to  Pall Mall which is near Raleigh, just outside of Winston-Salem...it is no longer Kool to smoke and Benson Hedges of Parliament, headquartered in Chesterfield, on Marlboro avenue also does not look favorably on the habit.
