7â Yost. Was holding a track link off of a John Deere 450D excavator in the vise and putting a pin in a link and the swivel base broke off. Being in the heavy equipment world itâs hard to find a vise that can withstand what we need to do. Having a vise is one of the biggest third hands we can have especially out in the field!
This old Holland 447 vise spent decades in a shop being pushed past its limits. It started out strong, clamping down on heavy steel and pipe day after day. Over time, the lead screw inside took the brunt of the pressure. With constant over-tightening and years of grit grinding into the threads, the screw finally snapped off inside the body.
Once the screw went, the jaws were never the same. The faces got beaten down, overheated, and scarred from holding hot workpieces and stubborn stock, until they were so chewed up they couldnât bite cleanly anymore.
To make matters worse, the main pivot pin seized solid from a mix of rust, old grease, and years without being broken down for service. What used to slide and turn freely is now locked tight.
Now the vise doesnât open or close, the jaws are cooked, and the screwâs busted â the old workhorse finally gave out.
