  • Condition: Very nice Estate find of an iconic Desmond Stephan 4" vise. Everything works as designed. The main screw turns easily and was lubricated (see photos). There is some paint left and would have that cool restored look once cleaned and oiled (or repaint it). It opened to 6.25" (I stopped opening because I didn't want to take a chance, but it had a little more to go). The jaws are 4 1/8" wide. The handle is bent but could be reworked to straight. It weighs approximately 47 pounds. and is 1`7" long closed. The base diameter without the attachment lugs is 7". It's a nice size for all general work. It has a swivel base with a tightening handle. This is just a great looking vise that will have a beautiful patina when finished. The raised lettering is strong and clear.
