Very good condition . This vise works smoothly as it should with one finger . The crank bar is straight. There is no abuse. This is one of the finest 3-1/2 jaw vises I have ever seen . The quality is excellent . It opens a long way for a 3-1/2 in jaw also. This was never ment to be a home vise in my opinion more of a business vise quality. I got it from a barn in Massachusetts .
