I've been trying to find a braking vibration on the Scooby, so need to get the disk off, which obviously requires the calliper off.

Got one bolt off, the the second was stuck solid. Finally it sheared, balls!

No worries, I'll get it hot stick the stump in the vice and it'll go. Well it might have done if this hadn't have happened!



This was after I had to lay out £100 on a new rad for the TT after I discovered that the crank sensor connector that broke put a hole in the rad.

Things come in threes, so no wank tonight incase my knob falls off!!

If you've got a grip strong enough to break a vice, I'd lay off wanking for quite some time!

I broke the threads in a vice not long ago. Now I've bought an old one as I couldn't find a decent one for sale anywhere. Didn't see a Record, but they might be just the thing.

I've done this in the past too; I'd try and find a good second hand one in place of some of the new cheap stuff

How sophisticated can a vice get?

As with anything you get what you pay for. Spend the money and you will get a good vice. But I am happy for one to break every ten years and save my money. I won't be saying that when it breaks just when I need it most....

I cannot find a picture on google, but a mate of my Dads used to have a vice with a foot operated pedal- so you could use both hands to hold the workpiece and then clamp the vice with your foot. It was a pure genius device. Never seen another mind you.
