6-inch Groz Portable Woodworking Vise

alex: all good except mine had a nut on its handle that clearly had a wrong thread, i.e. would not even stay on. Seems like quality control to me.

Tyler MarkhamTyler Markham: I was very impressed with this vise when I got it. It's small, looks nice, and was easy to clamp onto the edge of my workspace.

I've used it to clamp small woodworking pieces several times and it's been everything I would expect a vise to be.

Today, I needed to unthread a shift knob from a shift extender. I placed it into the vise and tightened it so that it would not spin when I was turning the knob. It seemed like no matter how tight i got it, the extender was still spinning. I continued to adjust the vise inward until I suppose I adjusted it too much and one of the jaws snapped right off.

I've had it for about two months so I'm not sure if there's any kind of coverage for this, I couldn't find a way to contact the seller directly on my order page so I'm just leaving this review instead.

Based purely on my own experience: Fantastic for light duty, be very careful pushing it or you just might make the vise's jaw drop.

PKro: This vice is working perfectly for what I need it for. It's small enough that I can use it on my little workbench and versatile enough that I can move it as needed. Seems to be strong, but I do use 2 C-clamps to make it a bit more solid.
Overall, a decent purchase.

Jean Despatie: This looked like the one I needed for my little projects, small, well built and portable, it delivers everyday and I’m very happy with it! Good buy!

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: I recently bought this vise because of all the positive reviews online. After a second time using this vice and clamping something, one of the vice ends cracked right in half. See pics. Also upon receiving this vice, the box was all dirty and greasy, seem like it was already used. Very disappointed. Send me a new one.

JcM: What I like most about this vice is its ability to used wherever you have a place to clamp it. i have only had a short time but I have used it in several different locations where I've been working. All you need is a place to clamp it and you're good to go. The jaws hold tight I haven't had a problem with anything I'm holding shifting while I'm using it. I've noticed people mentioning that the jaws aren't parallel but it's in the description that the jaws have a "toe-in" feature which is the reason for that. My only complaint is that the rod to tighten the clamp to a table or whatever is small which makes tightening it a little difficult. That being said, the clamp does hold tight and so far hasn't worked loose in use. All in all a great little vice, one I'm glad i purchased I'd give it a 5 if it weren't for the small clamp rod so 4.5*

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: I’ve been using this vise for about three weeks now, and it’s one of my favorite things ever bought on Amazon. I use it almost every day, and can’t imagine doing my projects without it now.

I bought this vise because the clamp used to attach it to a table top or workbench is one of the largest openings when compared to similar products. Another 1/2” would be good, but it works perfectly for my current setup. The working clamp is plenty big for most projects, but another 1” would occasionally be helpful. I’d also like some area to get a better grip when needing to use additional clamps. I was well aware of the specs when I bought it, so it’s nothing negative about this vise. Seriously, I love it as is, but a couple mods would be a bonus.

I’m going to buy another for longer pieces of wood and have recommended it to several whittlers and woodworkers.
