Tolman Tool - Self-Adjusting Speed Vise

What happens here

Mark visits the Tolman Tool booth, featuring their self-adjusting Speed Vise. Pip Tolman, Marketing Director, introduces the bench vise (Model 105), explaining that it was originally invented in 1924 but production stopped in 1970. Tolman Tool has brought it back with modern manufacturing. The key feature is a quick-release mechanism: lifting the handle allows the jaw to slide freely and quickly adjust to the workpiece size, eliminating the need for constant spinning. The vise is 100% American-made with US steel. It's available in 3.5-inch and 4-inch sizes, with a 5-inch version planned. Different jaw types are available, including V-groove, serrated, and brass for delicate materials. Mark reiterates the heavy-duty construction, capable of withstanding significant force, making it suitable for demanding workshops like diesel repair shops.

Goal: Showcase a heavy-duty, quick-adjusting bench vise.
