Yost 4-Inch Workshop Duty Bench Vise with Anvil, Model BV-4 for Heavy-Duty Projects

DDC: You can't complain for the cost, but it's not the best made vise out there. Had to tighten the heck out of something (with the aid of a pipe) and guess what, the handle bent like it was made of lead.

KevKev: Works great but still getting used to the spring underneath it. Not sure of its function but whenever you loosen or tighten it you can feel the resistance. Still a great product! Fastened it to my cheaply made 2x4 bench with 3 - 2.5” 9/16 headed bolts. Used lock washers on both top and bottom. Had to use a hammer to persuade bolts but they fit nice and snug. No movement whatsoever.

MooseMoose: This is actually my second purchase of this vise. I have one in my basement work shop and now this one is for the bench in my shed.
Look, it’s a $25 vise that’s sadly made in Commieland. I hate that but I gotta be realistic. I just cannot justify spending $300 on something that I rarely use. For my infrequent use this will do. It will hold a mower blade for sharpening. It will hold a small project that I’m welding. It will act as a third set of hands when necessary.
It will fail if you try to abuse it. Just know that up front and be realistic. You’ll be fine.
For the price it’s a fairly decent vise. I would buy it again. Well, hell-I did. lol
Made in China 🇨🇳
Unfortunately
I still have to recommend
Thanks for reading

Hammer: OK for the price, smaller than expected but does the job. Had to trim the mounting tabs a bit in order to mount the vice close enough to the edge of the bench to allow for fixed jaw on vice to clear the bench edge. Also had to remove and reinstall the swivel base 180 degrees to fit my application, all easy to do.

TV KQTV KQ: I was skeptical about buying this vise as comparable ones are $75+ Canadian. I needed something that was heavy enough to install some pistol sights as well as a good utility vise for my bench. I'm very pleased with this item and was pleasantly surprised by the quality.
Let's face it, buying on Amazon is hit and miss. It is luck of the draw when it comes to the quality of a product meeting expectations. In this case it exceeded them. It is a very solid, well fit and high quality vise for the money.
I whole heartedly recommend this product.

Steven: I just got this for my husband . He needed a vise for working on our firearms , and changing hangun sights along with working / building and cleaning Ar-15 's. He said it is the perfect size , and the quality of the build and material of the vise is unreal ! The powder coating is perfect no flaws anywhere. For a vise under $40 u can't ask for better . Mounted easy with the use of 3" inch legnth and 5/16 diameter bolts along with washers and lock washers . Holds solidly onto his work bench . It is not a big vise in size , if you need big heavy duty vise , your best getting the next few sizes up he said . But for our needs , our firearms , and most home projects , it's all u need . Don't hesitate, pull the trigger on this vise it's worth it ..... " get your clamp on " ..........
