Review: Reasonable Quality in an Inexpensive Build - This is a small, imported vice. It's not burly, it's not made to be wrenched on like an old, burly piece of American iron from Gramps' old metal shop. As a hobbyist's vice, for small projects, anything likely less than DIY home maintenance, this is a great little addition to the bench. Prior to using I disassembled completely, cleaned, and greased all internal moving surfaces with Super Lube PTFE grease. For something that is likely made from pot metal (based on one reviewer's image of a cracked clamp) the internal surfaces and lack of slop in the tolerances is really quite impressive, like, really impressive. Once cleaned and greased it moves as close to butter as one could hope for, and has held firmly anything placed in its jaws. It does what it's supposed to, and does it about as expected, fairly inexpensively, and with a decent featureset and built quality. The finish is a nice touch, recalling old 50's style hammered paint. I did add some felt pads on both sides of the bench clamp to prevent it from maring the laminate surface on my electronics workbench, and can still get solid purchase, remaining in place. The ability to rotate the head to flip between to jaw types is fairly unique, I think, and it came with a set of some sort of nylon, or at least simple plastic jaw pads for the small side to replace the metal ones; a small detail but a nice one
Review: Not disappointed - Great little hobby vise, rotates 360 degrees with double jaws, able to work at all angles. would be nice if includes regular 2 1/2" jaws with no machined cut.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reasonable Quality in an Inexpensive Build

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not disappointed
*by F***S on June 16, 2025*

Great little hobby vise, rotates 360 degrees with double jaws, able to work at all angles. would be nice if includes regular 2 1/2" jaws with no machined cut.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's very heavy...use caution and do not have bare feet.
*by K***N on July 1, 2019*

I use this for my jewelry and metal work. First..beware. it's heavy, and without clear info about what loosens what, I undid one part expecting it to loosen a different piece than it did and it fell out the bottom side and smashed my foot! Clearly, I should have been more cautious, but take this as warning. It holds extremely well, although the sides do not come together evenly and are about 2mm off kilter. The inside of the jaws are also VERY rough and sharp. It mars metal and tubing if you make it tight enough to hold it in place. I filed off a couple of super rough edges and while it still mars, at least it's not making big scratches. I plan on getting some rubber (or are they plastic?) to cover the jaws, but until then I just won't use it on nice metal. It rotates well and so far, seems very useful. I could wish it rotated like my old swivel vise, so that I could hold a piece vertically, but for the cost and the moment, this will hold my work in 75% of the directions I'm used to. With that in mind, the description could be slightly clearer in the actual rotation actions.
