I bought this as a return item from Amazon. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it and I saved $95. Anyone that knows vices knows that Wilton is top quality. This should last a lifetime or two.

Allen Derusha's 4-star review says everything you need to know about this vice. It's very versatile but is going to have it's limits on strength and durability if you use it outside its performance limits. I would call it a light to medium duty vice for shop use to hold stuff in various positions. I would not; however, beat on it or put a pipe on the handle to tighten things down. It's just not that type of vice. My two are:1. the hardware is cheap for 400 dollars (or maybe I'm not adjusting for inflation in May 2024 correctly). All of the handles are cheap feeling including the primary handle. Minor gripes, this is still an offshore-produced unit and built to a cost.2. the finish is going to chip off easily with any use (mine already is and I've used it only a couple of times)

My old $150 Harbor Freight vise cracked in half (they do that when you use a cheater bar), so I needed to replace it, and was willing to bust the budget to get one that would last long enough to be part of my estate (ha-ha). I'd read great things about the Wilton brand; it appears they've been making beefy vises for a long, long time. I opted for this multi-purpose style, as it has a rotating jaw assembly, with both flat and pipe/round-stock jaws. My last vise used a similar layout, an it is incredibly versatile. This Wilton was the largest one in that style, and it is an absolute beast @ 53 lbs. Only had it a short while, but it appears to be absolutely fine. I want to replace the swivel hold-down hardware with some socket-head bolts, then use a long T-handle Allen wrench for faster/easier repositioning.

Great Vice. Heavy duty has been a vital tool addition.

after years of being cheap and buying numerious inexpensive vises, that always broke or did not hold things very well. This is something I would have bought years ago, the teeth are very hard and sharp, the jaws don't slide when you clamp something, the mechanism operates and glides much better, just a higher quality!

I am unboxing now (6/14/2021) and to my disappointment, both carriage bolts that hold it to the base assembly are snapped off in shipping. That is very frustrating that they didn't use grade 8 hardware or at least something better than this. The vise ships in a box without foam or cardboard in place and was prone to movement. We're not off to a good start. Now I have to go find the proper hardware and we'll see what comes next.6/15/2020 I took the broken carriage bolts and handle to find replacements. To my surprise, they are an M12 X 1.75 thread pattern. The hardware store did not carry metric carriage bolts this large; only standard sizes go this big. I tried the closest standard equivalent and it wouldn't thread in the handle well enough. I went to grab bolts for the base and they appear to be metric holes also. The 4 base holes are a couple of milimeters shy of 5/8's. I found 9/16's would work but 9/16 inch bolts and drill bits are rare as well but I found them. I then went to another hardware store for the carriage bolts and they didn't have them either. I got online and tried all of the big names and everywhere my search engine could take me and no one sells the carriage bolts of this size except a few china options in large quantities. Why Wilton would use metric threads is beyond me. At the end of the day, I returned this vise. The base is poorly made and I can't replace the hardware that arrived broken so I can't assemble it. Stay away from this one!
