Jorgensen 7-in Cast iron Woodworkers Vise

I first saw this quick release vise in high school

I first used this quick release vise in high school shop class in the 1960s(!) In 1992, we bought our house and one of the first things I bought was the 7 inch model of this vise. I have been using it almost daily since then. I can't imagine my workshop without it.

Pretty good

I bought 6 of these vises for my small high school shop and they were a great improvement. Mostly they have been excellent. One vise has developed a problem that I suspect is due to a manufacturing flaw. The threads that are pressed into the collar may have not been pressed in quite deep enough so the threads have sheared and the vise no longer locks closed. The other 5 are still solid so they get 4/5 stars

Well made. Great fit and finish.

I bought this vise last May to add onto a long overdue project - a good, functional, workbench. I looked at all the major brands, new and used, domestic and foreign, and in the end the Jorgensen was my choice. As soon as it was delivered I installed it and have enjoyed using it ever since. It slides out effortlessly with the counterclockwise turn of the handle and pull and firms up the workpiece with a push and a clockwise turn. While the steel handle works just fine I do intend to make a wooden...

This bench vise is rock solid

While it took me a while to mount this beast of a woodworking vise, it has been well worth every bit of effort. This has elevated my woodworking projects immensely simply from having more control over an item in the vise without multiple clamps on a piece to the bench.

Exquisite

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the 4”x10 as a gift on my bad. This thing is pricey but so worth it. Want the best wood vise on the market? Look no further!

Exceptionally well made

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had my vise for over eight years now and it is no different today than it was when first purchased. I like that the handle is thicker and more solid than the ones on other woodworking vises that I have owned. An excellent product.

Great vise!

Bought this vise for my work table. No problems, works great, been on there for months and a ton of use.

Easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using these clamps and adding to my inventory for many years. Never have I experienced one ounce of trouble or failure ever. Their so easy to use you can push the jaws together by holding the quick release pretty much one handed. Very strong holding and never come loose or bend.

Smooth operation

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love love this clamp smoothest operation on any I've used
