Holy verses Batman, is that the new bat vice?

It's not very PC -
It's a bender,
Screwing machine,
Punching machine,
AND a stripper...

Guaranteed this gets removed....

I always wanted a Benjo. On declaring my need for one a mate piped up and said he had worked for Warsop making them.
I was amazed he had never had a go on one, but he did know how they worked. Two of us bounced one up and down but
we didn't knwo how to get it to fire.

Like the one in the brochure pic , the flat bar handle isn't present but a copy won't be hard to make, light refurb ti get it easy to use , probably won't paint it ,

Further exmination is that it is broken, the front moving jaw has been broken off the main shaft , grrr, needs a cast iron weld which is out of my skill set so it's just an ornament for the cave, unless someone wants a project, m

Here you go, interesting item , never heard of or seen one before, a collectors thing really, dissapointed that it is broken , as said needs a cast iron repair, beyond my skill and equipment ,

You need to take your phone out of your pocket a few minutes before taking pics....

Tempting for a project, but I have a stack to be going on with.

 

[rosinante]

Be tempted , it needs a good home

I was wondering if he was having a competion with TYA too.

Edit: But now, after mentioning pockets, you've got me thinking/hoping it is only condensation on the lense.
