OK, here I am now, cruising the tool section of craigslist. I do need a new vise. Does this seem good? I can see it still comes with the box, and that makes me fear it's a cheapie. I suspect the old vises are better than the new ones.

That weird adjustability isn't something I'm looking for specifically, but I suspect it will do no harm and could come in handy.
