Very Solid first impression, I just wish they could have avoided a minor annoyance (we'll get to that)Vise is robust and larger than I expected. Will it hold up under hard use, over the test of time? I have no way of knowing that at this point, and I will not torture test the vise and destroy it for good of the community, so if you're looking for that, go to Ytube where there are plenty of vids of that sort to satisfy the most destructive of wants.It comes with magnetic soft jaws, which work as intended and are easy to remove and replace. The jaws themselves are held in with bolts and are also replaceable. The tightening mechanism works smoothly and without grit, as does the pivot mechanism. It's not a 300-dollar vise, but it does well, and will undoubtedly satisfy most DIY'ers needs. Extreme-Duty vises will generally need extreme dollars.My only complaint is the length of the mounting bolts. Once inserted through the vise, only 1.25" of threads stick through. Most countertops (at least the ones around here) are 1.25", so mounting the vise to a standard thickness countertop is not happening with the included bolts. A minor annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless.All in all, first inspection shows a solid offering.For what it is, what it does, and what it costs: Five StarsI am the Totally Unbiased Reviewer Dude (T.U.R.D.) and that is how I see it.
