(in waterboy voice). That's some low quality FE!



I busted my vise and had to find another in a hurry.  Vises seem to be a bit hard to come by around here.  I wound up getting this Irwin from Lowes, but I had to drive to get it.  Yes the old vise came from hf.  Yes it was cheap.  It actually served me pretty well for about ten years.  It replaced an old old vise that I tore the jack screw up on.  This Irwin seems like it's the same casting, but one difference is it actually has a lifetime warranty on it.  I figured it's the best compromise on short notice.   Anyways wondering what broke the central forge?  An ice cream cone!  No seriously.





I ground some flat on the lug nut to give the new vise something to bite to.  I had to drill off three lug nuts with one being the Mopar version of Mcgaurd lock nuts.  Someone tightened them crazy.  I hate it when people don't understand one uga Dugga will do on lugs.



Finally, I took the lug nut tool and milled the cribleys off with the hope that there is enough meat left to remove the other three.   That is how my week is going!
