Yeah... I got what I consider to be the deal of all time-then ignored (note 
the base word there: ignorance) it when I thought it not so useful. What 
was it???

The deal was: 1)free shipping, and 2) some SERIOUS percentage off, like 
30-50% on their super-duper, incredible-hulk of a 5 inch vise... weighing 
(as I recall) 90 LBS!

Well... in the interim, I found the lost 3 inch'er I had for years ,but had 
misplaced after a workbench change. I hadn't even taken the big fella ought 
of the box!!!

So-o-o the other day, I finally decided to take the heavy son-of-a-gun out 
of that box, and see what it really looked like. Turns out it's awesome!!! 
The entire vise rotates, and the business end swivels, such that you have 
either a standard 5-inch bench vise head... or the other side is a 
multi-jawed monster thing for holding pipes. WOW! Net cost was under $50 
(as I recall)!!! Such a deal it was... all that functionality, a discounted 
price, AND free 90 LB shipping!!!

By the way, I dug it out because I needed to put 8  5/8 inch holes and one 
1/4 inch hole in a piece of *thick* aluminum mast. Would those special jaws 
hold that pipe!

And oh yes... I almost forgot the 4 inch square, flat anvil surface on the 
center/top.

Totally awesome!!!
