Amazon Customer: Just check out the you tube reviews. Wish I did. DOES NOT SUCTION!! Glass, table top, counter top, will not work. On top of that the package I received was clearly already returned, my box was torn open and did not have any factory packaging on arrival. The single worst purchase I’ve made on the Amazon platform

John L.: I had a previous manufacturer's vise for the last 20 years and the suction finally gave out. This unit looked to me as the best replacement. Unfortunately, the parts were fine but not the assembly. The ball stem had not been screwed in place so that the jaws would wiggle and wobble when everything was tightened. The result was I had to take the vise apart and tighten the loose screw to eliminate the wiggle. It now works perfectly and I will keep it. Just never should have happened if your quality control people were awake on the job.
Hence 3 stars

Chris: This vise is for small projects. Very heavy duty and sturdily built. It's design allows for many angles other vises can't manage because they don't have this ones cup and ball joint design. You can also move your project without removing it from the vise within the limits of its travel. This vise is very versatile and well worth its price. I haven't used the suction cup yet because I'm just soldering wire so I can't vouch for that at this time. Happy shopping!

Another Mike: Mind arrived with a damaged suction base: there are a couple of indentations and the suction base cannot hold a vacuum for more than a few minutes.

For the hobby I plan on using it for it's heavy enough that this does not matter. Otherwise I would have had to return it.

I notice that it's gone up significantly in price since I bought it, probably due to the shipping cost: I would have chosen a different vise at the current price.

Yost tech support were very helpful. Recommend the company if not the packing of this particular product.

Angus: I am quite happy with my purchase. I feel it is well built for the money paid. I have it mounted on my hobby station which has a glass top. I misted the rubber foot pad with a small spray bottle of water I use for watercolors and pressed down on the vice while engaging the lock lever. It has been in place for three days now and the suction is excellent. I like the fact if I need the full area of my work table I can just release the vacuum and move it. Two very big thumbs up.

Reginald: Well I can’t say enough about this Vice I used on holding my upper ar receiver, my slides on my handguns, I even used to pound the ducktail sights on my handgun works perfect, and the biggest upside to this vice is u can move it and attached to all kinds of surfaces and never moved while using. Note after a while the suctions does loose it grip just sitting there by itself, so you want to check it to make sure your grip suction is still there

Patrick D.: This a very handy tool for someone who lives in an apartment like me. Whenit arrived there was zero suction and it would not hold. Then I realized that the rubber flap had shifted during transit or packaging and was not properly anchored on the sides of the base. I corrected this and I gos suction. However the suction did not last very long. To get proper suction you need to wet the base before using the lever to create the vaccum. Once the base is wet, the vise stays properly in place long enough for normal use. Of course the surface that you place it on must be perfectly smooth, otherwise it will never hold (like for any other suction cup!). I use it in the pantry room I have besides the kitchen on a kitchen counter and it works perfectly for the small jobs I need to use it for. I am happy with my purchase.
