#Vise

The obsession with buying and maintaining quality tools starts in early childhood, usually beginning around the time you helped your dad (or mom) change the oil in the car or build a treehouse as they unleashed obscenities and crushed PBRs. “Take care of your tools and they’ll take care of you,” is something a sociopath would say. Me, I’d say my appreciation of quality hand tools has been an evolution of sorts. But I’m tired of buying subpar driver sets and wrenches, only to have them bend, break or rust. And no, I (usually) don’t abuse my kit. So, let’s all grow up a bit and invest in some of the best gunsmithing tools available, shall we?

For those who pack everything for the range including the kitchen sink comes what could be argued as a range “kitchen sink.” Battenfeld Technologies, Inc.,  a division of Smith and Wesson, has announced the release of their Tipton Transporter Range Vise. As its name implies it is a range vise; and more than it implies, a table-mountable range bag to handle any number of range necessities.
