Rockler Quick Release Bench Vise Repair

My Rockler quick-release bench vise stopped engaging — it would feel like it was about to grab and then just slip and release. Taking it apart showed the real problem: years of grease and sawdust packed into the threads of the quick-release mechanism, which I cleaned out and re-greased before putting it back together. A pretty simple fix once I saw what was actually going on, and a good reminder to clean these things out before they get that bad.
