I see Zoro's marketing plan is working quite well.

Not well enough: I miss the twice a month 20% coupons: now they send a 15% by mail then several 1 or 2 day 15% each month.

I took a chance and ordered one of the chucks mentioned in post #6 of this thread:

It is a CME 6" 3-jaw adjustable with a D1-4 backplate for $299.00. Ebay listing here

I hope it is as good as it sounds!

Picked up a mark VI bomb hoist off marketplace. Did I need it? No. Is it cool? Absolutely! The guy said it was NOS but by the corrosion on the tag and the rest it’s been out to sea. It has a few US navy markings and is a 1/2 ton capacity, two speed ratcheting. I will try to find some photos of one in use. The handles are drop forged by Williams!

You never know when you're going to need to hoist a 1000-lb bomb, just sayin'.
