Customer Reviews for VEVOR Bench Vise 4'' 15Kn Heavy Duty w/ 360° Swivel Base Head Two Clamping Jaws

“VEVOR Bench Vise, 6-inch Jaw Width 5.9-inch Jaw Opening, 360-Degree Swivel Locking Base Multipurpose Vise w/ Anvil, Heavy Duty Ductile Iron Workbench Vise w/ Bolts & Nuts, for Drilling, Pipe Cutting”I ordered this bench vise with the notion that I could use it to replace my Craftsman 6-inch bench vise that I bought back in 1985.The Craftsman vise has served me very well while being bolted to my gigantic work bench - automobile repairs, various construction projects, plumbing projects - you name it.It’s definitely taken a beating, but it always did its job very well of securely clamping every object I’ve worked on, allowing me to hammer and bend all types of steel into submission, and enabling me to super-squeeze various materials while brute-forcing them into different shapes and sizes.My first impression of this new VEVOR vise was how much smaller it is than my old Craftsman vise. I measured almost every portion of each vise to compare, and the measurements confirm that this new vise is smaller in every possible way, except for the width of the jaws being 6 inches for both vises.I didn’t get out my scale to compare exactly how much each vise weighs, but this new vise is definitely much lighter when lifted.All of these comparisons lead me to the conclusion that the VEVOR vise probably isn’t going to work out for my purposes. I just don’t see how its smaller and thinner gauge metal will be able to withstand the forces necessary to assist me in all of my projects.It’s definitely for light to moderate jobs, and it doesn’t really make sense for me to bolt an additional vise to my bench just for light work.Don’t get me wrong, this vise seems well made and it operates very well. Also, the magnetized jaw pads are a nice addition, and they could really come in handy when clamping items that you don’t want to leave serrated teeth marks squeezed into the material.If you don’t need a heavy duty vise for demanding projects, this vise will probably work out very well.

This replaces a 'tired' ancient and slightly smaller bench vise I acquired in a farm sale several years ago. Because it has all the features I wanted, I have no reservations in recommending it. It is a bit bigger and has better jaws than the older one. It also comes complete with the mounting bolts.

This bench vice is incredibly well made and sturdy. This vice has a swivel locking base to easily secure it to your workbench. Once secure this vice stays put and does not shift at all.This vice is cast iron making it incredibly sturdy, the jaw opening and width are perfect for most projects. This vice is very easy to open as well as shut. Once you shut your project into the vice it is nice and secure, giving you worry free grip while you work with it. I was able to secure a beam into the vice while I cut it and it stayed secure without making up my beam.I definitely recommend this vice, it is incredibly sturdy and easy to use. This vice makes cutting, measuring or anything you need with your project a breeze. This vice gives you the security to know you can work on your project without worrying about your materials slipping.

This vise seems to be a good buy if you’re looking to do some light to medium duty work in the garage. Swivel base functions fine, has an anvil and pipe jaw along with the normal jaws.

I got this for my brother and he is very pleased with it. He said it is very high quality and made well. Awesome price!

No complaints about the vice. Comes with everything you need to bolt it down and functions properly. Fairly straight forward.

For the price, this is a great vice as long as you don't expect too much from a vice with a maximum jaw opening just over 3 inches. If you think of this vice as an extra set of hands to hold something while you cut / drill / solder / etc, it should serve you well. If you're looking for a vice that you can beat on like an anvil - this isn't it (you'll need something much bigger and much more expensive).

This is small, but that is what we were looking for. Very sturdy and well built. Easy to use.

I came in hesitant after using a friends Wilton 6" vise, I realized I needed an upgrade over my ancient 4" vise. Not wanting to pay the price for a high-end Wilton I found this. Feature wise, it matches up to it's higher-end and pricier competitor. Outside finish is good, jaw and hammering surfaces were milled smooth and level. My main gripe, and it only exists because I came directly from using the Wilton, is fit quality. This vise has a log of slop/play in it. From the threading (opening/closing), and from the outside jaw being able to swivel from the fixed jaw. This is the major issue I have. As it makes closing and having the jaws actually align a major issue - if that's something you need from a vise. It's able to swivel about 3-4 degrees, which doesn't seem like much, but it's enough to make it so that either corner would sit 2-3mm (1/8") off from flush. The other quality issue is in the casting, or lack of clean-up on the casting. I took it apart when I first got it to grease the main thread, and found a lot of casting/milling swarf on all the internals. Basically this thing comes out of the casting, is milled, and then painted with zero final cleanup performed. Some burs were enough to slice a finger open easily. This can be slightly overlooked since it's all internal, and all outside features are fairly smooth, but just goes to show it's not a high-end piece. But even with those gripes, it's still a strong vise, with the features I needed at probably the lowest price I could find, so simply ensure you set your expectations and you'll be fine.

A nicely built vise, perfect for a home workshop. It Holds work pieces securely allowing you to work on it safely. It has the option to easily rotate the vise to allow a different angle to make work easier. Good price for the homeowner shop,
