Ratings & Reviews for IRWIN 6-1/2-in Cast iron Woodworkers Vise

Bench vice

My opinion this is a must-have item for anyone doing woodworking I've been doing World working for 3 years now without one and I can't believe I went this long without one

Table wood vice

Was easy to install and was just the right size for my table for the price for this vice it does a good job for my needs

Awesome Vise Grip

Don't let the price fool you, these pliers will do their job! I originally bought these for a small project because I misplaced my previous set. These are now my go-to!

Awesome bench vise

Put that on my workbench so I can clamp wood pieces on it and work on them. Pretty good and twists pretty quickly.

Woodworker’s Vise works great.

This vise holds my briar block securely with no issues.

Great tool for woodworkers

I finally decided to pick up this voice, and it has helped a lot in the shop. I had to modify my workbench to make it fit, but that was because of the way I built the bench, not because the voice was flawed.

Good and inexpensive woodworking vise

This vise does it's job, the screw was sticky at first, and the mounting holes are a little smaller than I would like, but for the price you are getting a good deal

Faces are not parallel

Disappointed that a good brand produced a vise with faces that are not even close to square.

Vise Grip

I had rusty screws I could not get out. These worked great on gripping the rusty head and letting me screw them out.

Gets the job done.

A must have tool for hobbyist or amateur woodworker or carpenter. Quality is as expected, but value for price is comparable.

Can I give it minus 5 stars?

The two sides are not parallel. It will never hold anything, especially if you plan to attach boards to each side, as you would expect to do for a woodworking vice. Also - on one side, the two holes to attach a board are widely spaced. On the other side they're quite close together. Why in the world would you decide to build it this way?
