I used to shop Lafayette in Boston when I was a student, 1958-1962.
Radio Shack, at that time, was a warehouse on Commonwealth Avenue. Hand them a parts list. A few minutes later it would come down a conveyor belt, filled correctly. Those were the days ;-)

Isn't that hard to imagine, actually order parts by part number or name, and get what you want.
Now, at Radio Shack, the clerks aren't even knowledgeable enough to properly peddle cell phones :-(

I've got toolmaker's vises and machine vises, but they're metal. An insulating vise would be handy to have.

durable; the other is a cheaper thing, but the moths get into it."

Try a Panavise for the lab bench. The regular heads have replaceable nylon faces, although metal jaws are available. There are also heads for edge-clamping PCBs and assorted other styles. One of these guys, and add the wide tray base.
Kinda like an Optivisor, should be a standard part of the kit. ;-)
I also have plastic one-hand-squeeze clamps, three different sizes ;-)
Yup. I have it with the "tray base mount".
I also own an Optivisor, probably had it for 30 years, or more ;-)
My problem is no established lab space. This past week my wife is painting wood "eggs" for Easter. I had to bring the drill press in from the garage and set up in the kitchen, drilling a support hole in the bottoms, holding them on a nail bed while she paints; and a tiny hole on top for an eye screw.

...as does Mouser ... Jerry Mouser got his start peddling imported ("jappocrappo") parts to the aerospace geeks in San Diego out of the back of his station wagon in the company's parking lot at quitting time.
