Mike O.: Works Great !!!! Solid Quality

Sergio Camarillo: Es un tornillo que tiene mala calidad, no gira libremente, se atora, la base giratoria viene pintada, por los discos donde gira, tuve que desarmarla para engrasar todo, quitar pintura y ligar imperfectos del vaciado. Hay otros tornillos de banco más baratos de igual calidad o mejor aún. No lo volvería a comprar

Michael: Attach it to a sturdy and very heavy desk! With that obvious statement said and done this vice is amazing.
I got it at an amazing price on sale and with it fixed multiple pain in my rear projects that have sat untouched for months. It hold to the desk firm and clamps tight with great even pressure. The grease on it when you first get it is thick and hard to wash off your hands, but it keeps it nice and rust free with butter smooth action. The box it arrived in was... well, not loved by the UPS driver, but still held up to the transit without damage present on the vice. The only thing I can complain about is the rotation specifically the horizontal rotation. Now it does as it promises and stays in place as it should, but the paint of the upper and lower ... well that chips off as you use that feature. It doesn't seem to be too bad and didn't make it look awful or anything noticeable, but it did make a smidge of a mess.

As for amazon asking for me to give it a start rating on portability, HA! Clearly a 5 star!

Firedad: Top quality casting and excellent milling of all parts creates an excellent tool. Fine fit and finish throughout. NO twisting or movement after setting the jaws on the work piece. The vise has enough mass to hold the work firmly for precise work. The attachment screw holds the vise firmly to any solid edge of a workbench or table. The base rotates to adjust to nearly any angle for ease of use. There are two locking bolts (instead of one on vises of this size) on the base to hold the vise rock steady at the angle you choose. Keep it clean and lubricated and it will last a lifetime. This is one tool worth the cost.

Joshua L. WagnerJoshua L. Wagner: Nice little vise for my smaller projects. I do restorations of small items so I don’t need a large vise to work with those items. It’s a great companion to my Wilton Tradesman. Great even clamping, smooth action AFTER I took the dynamic jaw out, wiped out the old grease and metal shavings, sanded and filed a few spots like the channel on the dynamic jaw, and re-greased the parts. No problems with sticking or reinserting the jaw if it comes all the way out. However this was my SECOND one of these as the first one was damaged operating tightly, a weird pop would occur every revolution when loosening the jaw, it wouldn’t tighten down without slipping, and it wouldn’t swivel at all. This is NOT normal for these. This one worked well out of the box but even better after I cleaned it up a bit. As you can see the paint has a lot of wear but that’s to be expected with how they package these things - Wilton throws them in a cardboard box with no other packaging. My larger and more expensive Tradesman also had a lot of finish wear because it was packed with the same loving care. Rustoleum Hammered Verde Green spray paint is pretty much a dead-on match if that’s...

just a reader: This is a great portable vise for light- to medium-duty work, and seems like a good compromise between portability and sturdiness. It's quite a bit more expensive than other clamp-ons, but it's heavier, and unlike some cheaper ones, there is not a lot of slop in the mechanism, so it holds tightly, adjusts smoothly and precisely, and feels secure. I could adjust it precisely enough to grip a delicate plastic piece tightly without deforming it, and it didn't slip while I was working.

It is a clamp-on vise, so don't use it to apply strong torque in the horizontal plane, or it will slip. It held on better than I expected it to, but it's still not the right tool for that kind of job.
