Default And I thought some tools would not break..



After 5 years of good servcice my vice broke! I has tightened a miata spindle into iit and was using the impact wrench to try take the axle out.. Well It kept slipping so i would crank it down harder and harder.. Well it no longer held..

What i saw shocked me!

I guess its time to break out the welder and probably make this a secondary vice.. RIP good tool..

I guess even tools made in america break..

Whoa that is pretty crazy. Everything has its time tho. Especially sand castings such as that are more opt to break rather than a billet one. But hey give it a proper buriel.
