Babco 140 Bench Vise 4″ Jaws Opens to 140mm or 5-1/2″ w/ Pipe Jaws Weighs 40 lbs

Good condition, clamps smoothly and easily, jaws are somewhat rough and could stand to be replaced. The main body has been spray-painted at some point, some paint chipping overall. Swivel does not want to turn, not sure if it’s stuck or if there’s a bolt that needs loosened. Wrench not included, I just needed something to weight it down for one of the photos. See photos for more detail. Feel free to message us if you have any questions. Thanks for looking!
