"mikethescrapper" stripping transformer the wrong way

Same here, mines worn & I have to unwind it a few more times to get the jaw moving, wastes time.
I do it with the vice open so I can use it to punch out the iron core later on & use the anvil part of the vise as a hard base to put the core on as I bash it apart.
I used two long bed end bolts to fix it to the bench top, now the bench tops come apart from the rest of the bench...
But it works.

PS. Posting all this was fun, hoped you like it
