I was browsing the 24hourcampfire forum and found a thread describing this little vise. It looks like it would be very handy for fixturing dovetailed front and rear sights or Weaver style scope bases. The sides are flat so once you have clamped your part in this vise it would be easy to set up in a milling vise for example.
It is a vise used for the old style hose clamps made from a piece of steel wire with the little ears sticking up.
Because of curiosity I had to take a look at this little tool. My NAPA had it but it took a little searching. The part number is 77-4017 and they are selling today for the low, low price of $19.98. It is called a Small Hose Clamp Vise and is made in the USA.
I checked the NAPA website and this is listed as a Vise but it is out of stock. Anyway I hope this information is useful for others. I bought the one they had in stock. I may never get the chance to use it but I'll have it in hand if the opportunity arises.
