   Here is that weird aluminum vise I was talking about.   
      
   There is a lot in that picture.   
      
   The DeWalt radio is bluetooth linked to the cell phone in the vise.   
   Yeah, I use the vise as a "camera" mount sometimes when I am working on   
   that bench.   
      
   To the left are the old vise hold downs for that screwless vise.  I used   
   them for a number of years.  Still have a couple more screwless vises   
   using those old pin bridge mounts I want to eliminate.   
      
   Oh, that reminds me.  I knocked off that blue tap and die case.  I need   
   to go pick them all up and put them back in the case.  Low grade   
   Lowes/Kobalt stuff, but its the set I toss in the truck when I go to   
   somebody else's place to help them out.   
      
   Right now I am testing out the radio to see how long it will play on a   
   3AH 20V tool battery.  Almost 4 hours so far.  Last time I checked the   
   charge indicator it still indicated full charge.
