Kindle Customer: the box it came in was damaged and parts were missing. it looks like a good vice but with the lock down handle missing it's not much help. I changed the rating because it is a good vice, It took a little time a few calls and emails but I did get the missing parts. Now it's on the workbench doing what i got it for.

MineMine: Like others mentioned, these aren't packaged for the kind of handling they'll receive in transit. Despite the destroyed box, mine arrived undamaged. All adjustment screws/levers were straight and intact.

USA made or not, this is a well built vise for the home mechanic or hobbyist. The jaws are straight and replaceable. The slide is well machined and the included scale is relatively accurate. The screw/crank action on mine is very smooth. There's so little resistance that I can zip the jaws out/in with 1 finger.

I omitted a star because the finish between the base and vise was already chipping when I disassembled it to mount to my workbench. Which leads to my next complaint: even my junky box store 4" vise has bearings between the base and body. This does not. If used in a humid area, eventually the finish will wear off and the 2 will rust solid.

That said, this is light years better than a cheapo box store vise. Flipping from vice to pipe clamp only requires a 1/4 turn of the set screw and a butter smooth twist of the jaws. The jaws themselves are perfectly square and made of high quality material.

I used a high quality firearm grease w/PTFE to...

Phil: I love the vise. Well built solid, exactly what I needed. The only complaint I have is the handle was slightly bent on arrival. Aside from that awesome vise well worth the money.

Metalx4: Decent vise, for the price I expected the castings and the fasteners to be a bit higher end. Good for holding moderate size pieces, jaws are accurate enough for holding small pieces. Not a vise for clamping a piece of steel in and beating it into submission.
