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

Great price, great product!

No directions included in the box, but installation is straight forward and took less than 30 minutes to install, including cutting and attaching some 1/4” ply to line the inside of the jaws. This vise is a great value for the money and I’ll probably get another to add to the other end of my work bench.

Works

Great addition to my workbench. Cut a two small pieces of 1x4 and the installation was effortless. Love my vise.

First saw this on YouTube while looking for a reasonably priced woodworkers vise. For the money I don't think you'll find a better vise. For the DIY guy that doesn't need a large vise, it's a no brainer if you ask me. Works like a charm.

Great Saw

This saw you have to pull back to make the cut, not like my other saws. Did a great job.

Good chainsaw

Very good chainsaw. Cuts brick really well. This product page isn't a chainsaw? So what. The other reviews listed by Lowes aren't about the vise on this page either...

Rusted in a week

Bought this and another style Irwin vice grip. Both rusted within a week of being in my tool bag.

Works well

Easily mounted and perfect for a small garage shop. Would buy again.

It is what it is.

I bought this to have as an extra set of hands on my assembly table. For this job it's fine. The construction is very light with a lot of play in the jaws. The mounting is also very light. there are four holes, two in the bottom that take 5/16" lag bolts and two for #12 flat head screws. These will not hold up to heavy chopping for mortising etc...but are fine for using this as an extra set of hands and other light duty work. the jaws are also very short, the oads I made are only 2-3/8" wide. ...

Just what I needed

Built a new workbench for wood working and this fit perfectly.

Good Quality Vise-Grip

Bought this for my son who needed for a repair at his house. I have a few Irwin Vise-Grips and they have worked will over the years.

Worked well for me. Easily attached to my bench and holds wood snugly.

Good locking plier

I like the construction of this locking plier. Much safer then many low end products. Good grip non-slip, doesn’t easily come lose! Highly recommend !

New tool

Tool was amazing! Just what I needed in order to finish my project!

installed on my assembly table

on a smaller side, though they fit my need quite well. Not expensive. I mounted them in my assembly table that is made out of 3/4 ply. Used 1/4 in x 2 in bolts with 1in washers to secure face, and 2 1/2 in screws from underneath. Had to widen tha mouunting holes for the front mount a tad (they are smaller than 1/4 in). Wooden pieces were routed to around the vice. I did it to keep them fairly wide, but allow for more clamping width. In the end I ended up with 8 1/2 in of clamping. Also I made ...
