What’s wrong with my vise - Wilton

[WoodburyZuk]

Hey guys. Idk what I did wrong. Am I missing something.

See my production quality YouTube short

i haven't had a wilton apart, but i had an old vice that did the same. It lost a clip/keyway on the shaft in the body of the vise. Once I took it apart it was pretty obvious.

Its fucked up

Lost the nut in the inside. Pull it apart all the way and you’ll see your problem.

Why would you have to ask this question without pulling it apart? Its a vise lol not anything difficult

 

[WoodburyZuk]

I gotta dig deeper I guess. I put that nut on the back. Seemed pretty straightforward when I took it apart initially. There’s like 4 moving parts, can’t be too hard.

isnt there a retaining clip/ring that keeps it in place?

On the plus side. I think your stupid video just got more views in a single day, than the other youtube stars that are on here have ever got

You guys got me. I just did it for the views and the likes. Pretty soon I’ll monetize and retire

I didn’t know Wilton built crappy harbor freight quality vises. Learn something new everyday.

The nut fell off of the very back.

my little wilton does the same thing. Mine has an E clip on the end of the threaded rod that got all fucked up

 

[WoodburyZuk]

I’m an idiot. It was missing a washer on the back by the nut that the cotter pin goes through. I found it on my bench, greased it, and back together.

As you can see, my bench is very organized and tidy so it’s silly I couldn’t find that washer
