- Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2025Size: 5 InchVerified PurchaseVise was encased in Styrofoam and boxed, no damage on delivery. I share this, because so many vise reviews I've seen claim damage on arrival and this is the first I've ever ordered. Fit and finish is above the price point in my opinion, and I hope to see years of service out of this one. Currently own a 60+ year old Columbian 504 from my grandfather and a D43, plus two other foreign made vises that have surprised me with their durability.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2025Size: 6 InchVerified PurchaseThis is a smaller vice than I usually buy for machine work, but it seems capable enough for a home workshop. It has a wide opening under the jaws to allow clearance. Also it rotates smoothly and easily; all the milling and machining is well done. They included the bolts and washers to mount it. I only wish it had an alignment groove in the jaws to clamp the workpieces vertically, but that's a minor point
