Never heard them called that. But then, I don't get out much.

Are those used by polecats?

Well is does say they are "vintage" so maybe back in the day that's what they were called.

I need to go out and count how many of these vintage items I have...I may able to "retire."

Yes, another online auction site I visit often, they wear out the term "Vintage"    It isn't antique, it isn't new, it isn't old stuff, it's vintage.

I get a similar chuckle when I see things like Luxury Apartment, that I think means they just charge extra.

When I read the topic I figured you were attaching a vice to one of the support poles in your basement shop.

Or you were taking up Pole Dancing as a VICE.

Geeeezzzzzz........

I think my favorite was a Craftsman circular saw sitting on a WorkMate,  listed as "Table Saw;"    Hey, box said saw, and here was a table.

I remember that ad (the circ saw/workmate), all I could do was shake my head.

My sister asked me if my table saw would cut anything else.

My circular saw only cuts circles, my band saw only cuts bands, my scroll saw only cuts scrolls, and my jig saw only cuts jigs.   Anything else, I use a Sawzall.   It cuts anything.    Still trying to figure out why anyone would want to sand a belt!?

At an upholstered furniture factory where I worked, some jerk tried to cut a partial roll of fabric in half..... on a table saw!
