My old post vise finally gave out on me last Tuesday, the main screw just snapped clean through.
I was working on a stubborn piece of 1/2 inch stock, leaning into it a bit, and heard a sharp crack that sent me scrambling to find my backup C-clamp so I could at least finish the heat.

Oh man, I used to think those old vises were unbreakable, but that'll change your mind fast!

Ever seen how thick the cast iron is on those old ones, @black.richard? They can take a real beating if you use them right. I still trust mine over anything new.
