"Gotcha!" SCORE: Evil Vise (2) Nuts (0)
Vise handles provide three serious hazards.
- Swinging loose and striking one standing beside the vise.
- Pinched fingers or web between thumb and forefinger especially when handle drops.
- Locked handles (when not in use) being an obstruction hazzard.
Nothing can protect one from a swinging vise handle other than being careful where one stands and try not to let the handle swing loose.
Pinching (and noise) can be reduced by placing two rubber electrical bushings (rubber grommets) on the shank of the handle under the knobs.
Prior to doing this the hole in the vise screw should be dressed with a file if there is a sharp upset edge.
The rubber bushing will also prevent further upsetting of the hole edge. - guru
A locked handle is a simple problem, don't tighten it when not in use.
Bumping against a loose handle is less a problem than bumping against a tightened handle. - Tom H.

"YOU HAVE TO CUT IT INTO SHORT LENGTHS, DUMMY!"
This comic is quite dated and some may not understand the humor.
Most welders today never arc welded with bare wire and would not recognize it in rolls.
But "The Old Welder" turned 90 in 2009 and remembers a lot of things most of us never heard of.
Besides the bare rod the old motor generator DC welder appears to be a WWII SAE welder.
I had to rewire one of these from 480 to 240 volts once.
While these were a VERY standard welder they did not come with marked terminals, wire pairs or voltage change instructions.
It took a good bit of electrical detective work to figure it out.
The "Old Welder" man be old but much of the equipment he cut his teeth on is still in operation.
