Mike Warren: This is a great vise. I looked at a lot of them before buying. For a DIYer like me working in my little garage, it's a perfect vise, especially the size. My 3" vise was too limiting and the 5" ones on the market were too big. I like the orange color too.

CaptainBasic: Edit: This vise is still going strong. No complaints at all. Also, a bit of a rant about some of these negative reviews.
I've seen a number of reviews complaining the vise metal is "soft" and therefore not strong. This includes reviews posting pictures where they hit it with a hammer and it left a mark. Don't listen to them, they don't understand material science. They are testing the vise's hardness when they hit it with a hammer, not its toughness.
This vise is made of very strong ductile iron. The whole point of ductile iron is it's ability to be deformed without losing toughness; pliable, not brittle. The problem with cast iron is it can be brittle and if a local area is over-stressed it's likely to fail by cracking rather than deforming. Those cracks, in turn, are likely to travel because they interfere with the material's ability to distribute stress and create an area of focused force at the end of the crack.
Ductile iron is designed to deform at the point of stress. It's more likely to bend or dent before it cracks. This is a good property to have for a vise that's likely to be subject to high point forces like impacts or tension from being tightened. The fact...
