A broken old leg vise

The problem was tht it was so rusty on the inside where springs are so it had too much friction from the sinde-plates that it didn't move. Some sandpaper and oil made it better.

Thanks. The spring was actyally there, I cleared away rust and put plenty of oil. Now it works :)

ya i agree with them to...just put in a new spring

I agree, looks like a new spring would fix it right up. That and a good clean...

Looks like you are just missing the leaf spring in between the 2 halves. That will keep it opening evenly and give pressure to stop the pieces from wobbling.
