Freewheel vise where to buy

Where can you buy a good freewheel vise, not cassette? They used to be available at most well equiped shops. Now everything is cassette oriented. Thanks

Try Loose Screws or Bike tools Etc. They have all kinds of obsolete items.

What is a freewheel vice for? I have heard of an axle vice but not one for freewheels.

A freewheel vise clamps onto the bottom of a freewheel. Then you mount the vise in a bench vise so you can unsrew the individual cogs with a chain whip. You can accomplish the same with 2 chain whips but it's much more difficult. The vice makes life so much easier.
