Love everything about this vice. The precice movements, swivel base, rotating multi material jaws. For me, this is a great improvement to my shop and see it as not only a tool, but as my Getter Done Buddy.
I do not agree that this is a bad tool. It’s not the best but I am not cutting or making things that require a vice to be within 1000th of an inch. Actually it is a very stable tool when adjusted and tightened up. Nothing moves, which is what you want.
Sturdy, versatile, does everything a vise should. I use it frequently and am very happy with it. Could use a set of nylon or rubber jaws occasionally to prevent scratching when working with softer items.
