So. I was kindof impressed with the veritas vice for surviving the wallop the way it did. I mean, "Must survive having 500lb of bench and idiot dropped on the handle by the idiot" can't have been on the design specs after all, and yet it managed it. So I wrote off to veritas to say nicely done lads, that's a nice bit of kit.
They're posting - unasked for and free of charge - a replacement screw shaft thingy for the vice, so it'd look its best.
I mean, I know, cheap marketing and so on, but still. Deserves a bit of a thumbs-up I thought. Can't see Bosch doing that because I dropped a drill and the casing survived the impact. And it's kindof, not to be too much of a leftie pinko commie hippie about it, but it's kindof nice when a manufacturer does that sort of thing.
So there it is. A nice little postscript to the build.
