GUNNYSACK TRAIL D-VISE T Roy Huntington he word epiphany commonly means “A moment of sudden revelation or insight,” among other things. When I saw the Trail D-Vise I had one of those, and knew you needed to know about it as well. My aging forehead is getting more of a slope to it the older I get, due to me slapping it with my palm saying things like, “Oh, that’s how it goes!” or “Oh, NOW I understand,” or “Gee, why didn’t I think of that?” So that slapping sound you heard was me, making my forehead even more Neanderthal-like and repeating that last line — again. The Trail D-Vise (catchy name if you ask me) simply slips into your truck’s receiver hitch, pins in with it’s own pin, and the handy vise handle slips off the side and goes over the nut-like head. You twist away and lock whatever the problem at hand is in your now, rock-like vise and go to work. It has toothed pipe jaws, and even a little anvil to pound on. It opens to just over 8" wide (to press most u-joints) and the main jaws have “Slip-Not” material so you don’t lose your work. The shaft going into the hitch is crossdrilled so you can change it to 90-degrees if you need to, and it works in any common 2" receiver. Now honestly, how many times could you have used this while off-roading, in the pasture, at the cabin or in our case, maybe at the range to fix or install something on a problematic gun bit? Use it to repair, fabricate, weld, file, hacksaw or just about anything you need a vise to do. Hell, it even has a built-in bottle opener, if that doesn’t beat all. I put it on Suzi’s Ford F-250 Super Duty beast and tried out a DMT diamond sharpener on my battle-weary kindling splitter right after taking this picture. It worked just fine. About $150, and worth twice as much (or four, or five or ten times as much?) in some situations you’ve been in, I’ll bet. Plus, it’ll make your tool-hog neighbor envious.
