Anyone have a wall mounted vise?

[johnsayen]

Was wondering if something like this park tools wall mounted bike vise would work well to hold a saw for sharpening and maintenance?

Most of us just use a bench vise.

looks like something to clamp a bicycle in.

It does but the head swivels - I thought it'd be an interesting idea.

I have that bike stand, let me see if it holds a saw

I'd be more interested in a lifting and lowering platform for mowers, generators, and such.

mine is hinge mounted on the wall, for sharpening freehand

I think the idea would be to use the clamp to hold the handle.

Harbor Freight has some options. Sad to say, the one I bought 4 years ago is now about $100 more expensive. Were I to consider it today, my wallet would grumble but my back would scream "YES!"

I made this one in my shop to grab the bar while I work on the saw -- chain sharpening, carb and filter, plug work, clutch, chain brake, etc. The bench vise holds it secure:


The vise can mount in either direction. Sometimes I get mad at myself for not using it.
