I dont even know the brand of mine. Not super large 4" jaws but built heavy.
On the H.A.M.B. There is a couple shop built vises, some pretty nice stuff.
Edit:
The home built tools thread is crazy! There are some pretty cool diy tools.

When we were mining the river bottom, every now and then we would get souvenirs from the narrow gauge railway that ran through the valley. If we got lucky, as the longer chunks of rail went through the jaw crusher, the crusher would sorta bend it like a tubing bender 
Not always that lucky and wound up fixing 10' long rips in the conveyor. The short pieces of rail that got stuck on the magnet over the conveyor made excellent anvils.

I have maybe 100 feet of rail in my back yard. Put it up for sale,$100 and no bites at all. Getting questions like what numbers and letters are cast into it. Will list it again in spring.When we were mining the river bottom, every now and then we would get souvenirs from the narrow gauge railway that ran through the valley.

Except for one piece. Im building a heavy metalworking bench. Pipe and rail welded up to form panels from sheet metal.
They’ve skyrocketed in price recently for some reason
I know guys collect those tack they put in the wood, they are usually 2 digit with the year, some go for serious money.
I think the one I have at home is a Milton...Pretty nice 6"
Wilton Tradesman Vice is the best. Yes they are expensive. I sold quite a few. Still out there being abused. LOL

My son had a bitcoin account, but lost his phone with the info in it... It would be in the triple digits now...
Wilton, Milton I haven't had my coffee yet. My phone went off at 4am with some robocalls and I got shortchanged. LOL
I have a few vices... Or is it vises... Which one is the bad habit, that's the ones that I have.... Ok, actually both...
