It looks about as handy as a monkey trying to f--- a football.

It is actually a useable vise/ anvil combo... as long as you use it as it was intended.
I would consider it to be for light duty use only... any heavy hammering or overtightening is likely to break something. I don't have the drilling attachment with mine... and doubt that it was actually ever very useful. That may be why most of them have become seperated from the drilling attachment over the years.
It's like any other tool... you can get good use from it as long as you understand it's limitations...

Like most multipurpose equipment, it does it all but nothing very well. Drill bits of that era often had 1/2" shanks. Hence no need for an adjustable chuck. The 1915 Sears & Roebuck catalog lists their "improved" version of the above for $2.90.
I'm a newbie how do I find this post

What Did You Buy Today?
Ebay/India special, but a crappy RT is better than none at all and the price was ok. I really don’t have a need for the dividers, but I figure its another process I can learn and if I ever DO need them I’ve got them... I have a Grizzly version of that. It works well for the few times I want...
