Never got round to buying one but realising I need one for all the odd jobs the wife has planned.
Looking at (the cheap) record 4inch and Draper, a thing else I should consider? Looked at 2nd hand on the bay but I'll be out on Friday in Edinburgh area so I might as well get a new one somewhere
Lidl had some kocking about last week for not much money
Not sure if they are any good or big enough but noticed one for sale in Lidl a few week ago
Edit - beaten too it.
I've got one of these...

If it's big enough for what you need.. it's a much higher quality vice than the price tag suggests.. And much nicer than the one my dad got from Lidl a few years back..
Have a look on eBay, search for Record vices, it's surprising what comes up. I've got a lovely big Record in good condition apart from the paint for £50.
Needs to be fairly local, really too heavy to post... 😉
eBay or gumtree, as above look for Record. There was a thread on here about them
I bought a 6" Stanley bench vice. Well made and lasts well.

About £50 online...

They don't mek' 'um like they used to...
Get on gumtree and buy an old one. Record are a name to look for, as are Woden and Paramo. They cost very little, even for big ones.
As above Gumtree should yield results.
I got a Record No.3 in lovely condition for £10 - admittedly that was a real bargain! But you should be able to get something similar for £20-30.
They're too heavy to post, so people will probably be willing to haggle if you can collect ASAP.
If you're in Edinburgh I might be able to help you out, not sure what sizes I have but definitely have a larger version kicking about.
I've got a Record No.1 mechanics vice if you're interested then give me a shout. Work in Edinburgh so can meet you somewhere.
