If these things are that much trouble, someone somewhere probably has them for sale.

You're a different breed of cat. I am a house cat that downsized to a condo after retiring. I can literally carry my shop down the stairs to the garage in a tool bag. I don't even own a vise these days because I swore off working on my car ... you see how that worked out.
