OAYKAY Machine Tools

Just out of interest has anyone come across Oaykay tools in the 'flesh'?

I have just finally(!) completed fitting some brake pipes to my car, and the last joiner was stuck in the end of a flexible pipe. the only solution was to cut the retaining spring and remove the end of the flexible pipe. I could then lower the fitting enough to hold the stuck fitting in a 4" vice, propped up on two bricks… this got the grip a mole wrench couldn't and a spanner on the end of teh flexible joiner. The two then parted reasonably easily.

For some reason, I thought the vice (rescued from the tip, almost unused) was a Paramo, but actually it has a little paper sticker with OAYKAY on it. Turns out they are a company in India who started out on vices. It seems reasonably well made and is more robust than my big old, tired Record No3.

The vice is clearly older than the products they list today. I wondered if they have any UK presence or reputation?
