I needed a compact bench vise and this fit my requirements. Smooth action a great stability.
Good vise for those home and auto projects!
I bought this vise for my garage. Out of the box, it was obvious the thing was built well. Very sturdy. The spread will work for the majority of the projects I need it for. It was fairly priced.
Great value
Was looking for a quality vice for quite a while for the right price and this beats any other one on the market. I kept buying vices that the jaws sheared off or jaws had excessive play and would always loosen up when force was applied this by far is the best tight has exceptional throat opening and size perfect for heavy duty applications Very happy with purchase . Unfortunately I cannot say the with most things these days
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a great review! It’s always good to hear when our efforts to provide industry leading product...

watch out for innaccurate "instructions"
there are three printed templates of different sizes included - one assumes they are to predrill holes in workbench to hold the vise in place . . . guess again . . . none of the three fit the vise - you must use the vise itself to determine how/where to drill bolt holes . . . how easy it would have been to put a correct size template in the box. No thought given to customer needs, it's all about making it easy/cheap for the factory . . .
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and would love the opportunity to make things ...

See above.
I make wood crafts, and this vice is the perfect size for me. In case I need to do something heavy duty, I’m sure it could handle that also. (As I also like tinkering with cars). I’m super glad we chose this vice for our crafting!

Excellent value at a very reasonable price,
Perfect size for my smaller work bench. I mounted it on an 18” 2x10 board so I could move it about for different situations and store it below the bench top when not needed. The 2x10 can be clamped down for extra stability when necessary. Generally, the vice is very well designed and built and is nicely machined for smooth and easy operation.

Great Vise
I’ve been wanting a vice for a long time. Attached this to my toolbox and it’s built really solid. Appearance and ease of use was definitely a nice surprise. I’m sure it will last for years to come.

Nice vise for the money.
Buy the 6” vise if you have the slightest need, it’s a bit beefier. Vises come with a template so easy to install if you are mounting to a steel surface.
