an old retired joiner gave me one of those vices a while back, i'd better buy him a pint next time i see him, i had no idea they were that expensive :o

yourweb if you can't figure out how that works them maybe you'd be better off on http://www.simplyknitting.co.uk or something similar.

there are 2 radial arms with teeth one each side
the clamp sits on the joist the toothed arms are concentric so as they rotate the gap between them gets smaller as you turn the mechanism the clamp pushes forward the body pushes back and forces the toothed arms to grip the joists

Just sounds like what someone would say on this for no reason at all. You got others on this site that might be asking the same thing and your trying to scare them away to a different site. From what I understand from Chez is he wants more users on this site and not less.

yourweb, my point was that given the photo and descriptions already given, it was blatantly obvious how the thing was used.

i appreciate that you are trying to help visitors to the site, i'm just not sure that asking pointless, obvious questions is actually helping, or just giving people masses of crap to wade through when they are searching for the answer to something.

owen I have never seen that type of tool before. Do I have an idea as to how it works, yes. But I would rather ask how it works than assume that it works one way when in real life it works a different way. Most of the tools that you guys post are ones that you use in the UK. I have not seen some of them. I love tools and if I had my way I would be buying all kinds of tools. But it is not the case. Not everyone can tell how that tools works unless you have used it before. So by me asking how it works might help some one else that has never used that tool before or seen one before.
