If you see someone misusing tools, appliances or small children apparently unaware of how stupid they're being, please tell them. And write it up here, '''at the top where new entries will be read''', in the hope that someone else will learn, too. No need for names (unless, of course, you want to). | If you see someone misusing tools, appliances or small children apparently unaware of how stupid they're being, please tell them.

Is not a consumable, it's part of the tool. Please don't drill into either the jaws or the base. You can avoid this in a number of ways : | |||
* Be careful. Don't overhang the jaws, place your work at the top, and the bit will go nowhere near the vice. | |||
* Place a piece of scrap wood below the work, so that the drill enters that when it passes through. | |||
* Set the depth stop so the bit can't reach the vice. This is inadequate if the vice metalwork is directly below the work as a drill bit has to come through the work to complete the hole. So use care or scrap wood as well. | |||
Lest you think that damage to a vice is just inevitable .. it's not. The vice we have isn't enormously expensive but a [http://www.mscjlindustrial.co.uk/CGI/INSRIT?PMPXNO=1609817&PMORGN=SEARCH:CATEGORY&backtosearchpage=null good quality industrial vice] is very expensive. Treat this like it cost £1700 too - it's the right way to keep tools in good condition. | |||
