FPU Bison Vise Resto'. Cause Baby I'm Worth it.

Welcome back, or thanks for dropping by! So we have a 1950's-1970's FPU bench vise. This really is a fantastic vise. One of the smoothest vises I have ever used. The price tag on one of these ranges from $75-$200 (obviously used) depending on condition. I paid about $130 for my Yost, and I like it. However, there is NO comparison between the Yost and the FPU. They are in totally different leagues. The Yost is a good functional vise. The FPU is also a good functional vise that's more substantial, more precise...more expensive feeling....hence, the title to this video. The image of Doug DeMuro makes a cameo in this video to give a Doug Score...( please don't sue me Doug....Buddy!) Not sure who he is? Love cars, or just great YouTube content? Check out his channel here. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiCgbT8xIXwAhWCKM0KHel_DPwQFjAAegQIAhAD&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fchannel%2FUCsqjHFMB_JYTaEnf_vmTNqg&usg=AOvVaw1D3-MgscGmvFscCuWcrdaA And most importantly....Thanks For Watching!
