This vise is a beast! Extremely smooth operation. And you don't have to be "careful" with this thing, I don't think this could be damaged even if you tried.
Great size and weight. Excellent anvil for straightening nails and bent screws. Good mechanics for opening and closing the jaws and for swiveling the vice.All up, an excellent piece of equipment.
Wow! This vice is a stud! A bit more than I was expecting our needing actually, but no way am I sending it back. Love it! I should have purchased this a long time ago. Bolted it to my work bench and it works great.
