This came in today's mail ... thanks Russ.
While looking thru the local FreeCycle site I saw an offer for a metal duct crimping pliers. It was free and on the way home so I asked it it was available. It was so I stopped by and picked it up.
While I was talking the the fellow he asked what I would be doing with them and I mentioned that metal working was a hobby. He asked me if I would be interested in a vice. I thought "Why not?" so we went into the garage and he showed me this ...
I asked how much and "We're selling the house, moving to a much smaller place, I can't take it with me so why don't you just take it out to your car?" was the response. I silently thanked my mother for not raising a complete idiot and took the vice out to the car. As I was walking out of the garage he mentioned he had some other things is the basement that he wanted to get rid of and he'd be right back.
This also ended up in the back of the car.
I thanked him profusely and then drove home.
