Joann Urban: Vice seems to be sturdy, well built. Should last, if not abused.

Madneuroscientist: It is REALLY big. My daughter uses it to carve branches. I mounted it on her work desk. It rotates, holds firm, and looks good. An ideal vice. I used these bolts to mount it, and they work very well:

Dave K.: I love this vise. It is just a beast and will handle things with ease. Trying to determine how I will final mount it to get the most out of it. Two thumbs up here.

VulcanFire: Simply put this is an extra large vice that is suitable to use for the largest project you can accomplish at your home. I would say vices this size are used to repair a diesel powered train. The anvil is good addition and it stands up to extreme hammering.

Richard K.Richard K.: I installed the Yost vice on my workbench in the garage. See photo. I was worried it might be difficult to install because the front of my bench has a 10 inch deep border which might not accommodate a hex bolt installation. However, no worries because I simply used two long wood screws for the two front 1/2 inch holes filling part of those holes with rubber spacers. I used hex bolts on the back 2 holes. Not only does the vice work great, when I had questions about the installation, Yost called me in response to my email inquiry to assure I understood their input. Excellent customer service.

Amazon Customer: Seems to be OK quality. Haven't really beat on it yet. Handle is quite a bit shorter than high end vices but for the money I am happy so far

Andrew: Great vise for home prosumers or professionals as well. It's a perfect size for any task you might need to complete at home. At 6.5 inches it's able to take care of any kind of job you might throw at it. It secures to your work bench using four 1/2" bolts (not included), I would recommend a bench top of at least 1.5" of solid wood, if you don't have a bench like this I would say add a couple extra pieces of wood under your bench to make up for the thickness. The vise can spin 360 degrees and has two pivot locks to ensure a solid position. The rotation feature is not completely customizable as there are specific notches that it will lock into, but I haven't found any limiting position, it works in all the positions I need it to.

There are a couple machining marks on the anvil, would have been nicer if it was better finished. I don't know if there's a technical term for it, but the screw handle is not the smoothest. I even added more grease to try and lubricate it, but you can feel grit and roughness when you open and close the vise. There's also a good amount of wiggle when the vise is not under load, but once it's closed it locks up tight. The vise is made in China, but for...

Henry: Mounts very easily. Does not come with mounting bolts, which is expected as they would have no idea how thick your work bench is. Nice solid unit. Very heavy and feels sturdy.

Trevor: Pros:
Very well made
Quality and precise
Can rotate 360 degrees for many applications
Prime free two day shipping for such a heavy item

Cons:
Would love to include mounting bolts.

We found ourselves doing more and more projects around the house. When sawing anything with resistance, or affixing anything that required a steady hand. I had unwisely used a platform and my left foot. Well as you can guess things never really came out with any quality or precision. So it was time to buy a Vise.

I shopped around and as I learned more about what features I wanted in a Vise I found this product on Amazon and listed as Amazon Prime. This thing is rightfully heavy, it supposed to be, as it's very solidly built. There were others around the internet that fit my feature set, but the shipping prices made it prohibitive, as these things weigh alot.

So what was I looking for in a Vise? 360 degree rotation. Easy adjustments. The ability to mount to my work table and a size that would be applicable to most novice home user use. This product fulfilled all that. I have used it in a variety of applications, and the thing still looks new. It will probably the...
