Here is that weird aluminum vise I was talking about.

There is a lot in that picture.

The DeWalt radio is bluetooth linked to the cell phone in the vise. 
Yeah, I use the vise as a "camera" mount sometimes when I am working on 
that bench.

To the left are the old vise hold downs for that screwless vise.  I used 
them for a number of years.  Still have a couple more screwless vises 
using those old pin bridge mounts I want to eliminate.

Oh, that reminds me.  I knocked off that blue tap and die case.  I need 
to go pick them all up and put them back in the case.  Low grade 
Lowes/Kobalt stuff, but its the set I toss in the truck when I go to 
somebody else's place to help them out.

Right now I am testing out the radio to see how long it will play on a 
3AH 20V tool battery.  Almost 4 hours so far.  Last time I checked the 
charge indicator it still indicated full charge.
