    "swivel top nuts for

    My "York" swivel base vise had 2 hex nuts to secure the vise to the base, which was a pain to have to grab a wrench any time I wanted to re-orient the vise. So I made some what I'm calling swivel nuts as I don't know the proper name for them. I used 2 coupling nuts, cut slots in them, drilled 1/8" holes for roll pins, handles were made from some 1/8" X 1/2" flat.
