I'll start .... This is a steel(looks plastic)Stanley 360° multiangle(it uses a ball joint and is very stable when clamped) soft grip vice I use for holding peices while I cut them with a dremel so I can change the angle of the peice so I'm not using the dremel at funny angles thus getting better cutting control.£21 brand new off eBay :-) steal! https://youtu.be/9GzJ189WSfg YouTube vid is in Russian or something but you can see how it works.

My garage is no good at winter since its not insulated -- But this will be remedied later this summer -- Next winter it will need to hold 5 bikes .. (3 of my own + 2 belonging to a friend) Two of them are Italian, and really do not like the cold and damp - The others are German and Danish steel .. No problems there .. "Sapere Aude"... Dare to KNOW! The written word is the only truly efficient vehicle for transmitting a complex concept from mind to mind... 103% of all people do not understand statistics... Do not adjust our mind, theres a fault in reality :-)
