More or less brand new too - from Marktplaats! :cheer:
Did some research and then asked eddrick for his opinion on this Wolfcraft...
His additional sign of approval made me go ahead with it of course.

Yey! Have you used it yet?
Yes the Wolf version is a lot better than the others, more rigid & better made.
They can also be used for light pressing operations (Keep the workpiece close to the ram/rack though).

Have you looked at a small drill vice & a box of assorted drills yet?
- the boxed sets of drills 1-13mm in 0.5mm increments are quite handy, but for toy car stuff, I've found my other 2x sets a lot more useful (1-6mm in 0.1mm increments, & 6-13mm in 0.1mm increments), but they are relatively expensive if you're not doing that sort off thing all of the time.
A small drill vice should be cheap enough (about 15gbp) & are quite essential at times.

You'll love it, I'm sure! - suddenly drilling straight holes &/or holes in difficult materials (eg Stainless) will be so much easier & you'll wonder how you ever managed without it!

Cheers, eddrick. Thanks for the advice! :y:
It just got in so I haven't tried it out yet...
Put some WD-40 on it here and there - I don't think it was ever used but it deserved some TLC from being in a shed I think.
Definitely gonna look out for a matching vice!

Yes! Had to wait on it for two months to arrive but I finally have that digital caliper! :woohoo:
Nice heavy quality, I have to say...
If it hadn't found it's way here, I would have bought one that Aldi has for sale next week for a tenner.
