In reply to Tim LeForge. Sounds like a great garage sale find! It's a very useful vice. They are still made today, but are costly.

Very nice example of the Garfield Pow-r-arm. I recently picked up one at a flea market in Painesville, Ohio that was in very bad condition and rebuilt it. Mine was not as rusty as yours, but the hydraulics were a mess. After complete disassembly, I managed to find some brake cylinder cups (5/8″ & 1″) to repair the failed hydraulics. The unit now works as designed and is a pleasure to use. I painted the base of mine machine gray, but left the top the original red, as it still retained some of the original graphics. If you’re interested, I can send some pics of my Garfield Pow-R-Arm with Vise and also the original patent information.

Very cool work on the vice

Would you please contact me regarding your Bianchi Avanti Sport. I’ve come across a motor that I need help with.

Thank you.
