I don't normally take the time to do reviews, but the quality of this vice surprised me. Initially I thought the price was a little high, but after receiving the product it is worth every penny. Thank you so much for making a quality product

First off... This vice is solid cast or on. I wasn't prepared for just how premium a $30 bench vice would or even could be. I lost my 50 year old vice in a move some years back & hadn't needed one until the other day when an important project came up, requiring just this type of vice. Now, my tools are quality & I don't like to skimp in that department but, my finances are tight at the moment & I really didn't want to drop over $200 on similar vice's available. New & used. Well, look no more. This thing is crazy good. I included my ugly hand for scale... You can see this isn't a tiny toy type vice. Again, pleasantly surprised indeed. Holds very secure. The anvil I perfect & you can wail away on it. It can take it! Trust me, I needed to pound out a bent cornet on an incredibly thick, steel bracket that got bent somehow. It held up to the task effortlessly! Rotates to perfect positions. Plenty of "open" real estate" for most projects. I highly recommend this product. 5, glowing stars!!!!!

Bought this for my workbench at home and it works great! It doesn't come with any mounting hardware, so I had to make a trip to the local hardware store. I don't have any issues with things moving where they shouldn't, and it holds things in place very nicely! The only issues I have are with a magnetic jaw cover product that did not come with this. Highly recommend!

This vise offers excellent value for light to medium-duty tasks. It is sturdily constructed and easy to install. It has met my expectations and I use it constantly to secure work in my shop. It is percect for hobbies or DIY repairs when you can't get Mark next door to come over to help without forking out for a 6-pack.The vice is not suitable for heavy-duty work but for smaller jobs it's priceless. I use it all the time and it's made such a difference to the ease of my work. I highly recommend this light-duty vice for any home shop or professional shop work.

First off, YES, this is made in CHINA. As others have said if you want it from the USofA prepare to pay!This is a nice LIGHT DUTY bench vise. But, there could be some issues and you will need to do a smidge of work prior to putting this into service. When you take it out of the box and while you're doing the "is it broken" inspection, take it completely apart. That means run the vise all the way out and separate the base from the vise. First look at the center screw and make sure it dosent have any excess slop in it. There is a review here showing what excess slop is with pictures and how to correct it. Now get some general duty grease and grease the ACME screw on the vise jaw as well as the guide. The guide bar doesnt need much just a light coating. You do not need to grease the whole screw just the first inch or so with a liberal amount. Now take a little house hold oil (3in1) and put a couple of drops on ends of the handle and turn it to get it worked in. Also a drop or two on the locking screw. Now put a small amount of grease on the center of the mounting plate where the center bolt is at. Not much at all. Bolt the base back to the vise, put the lock screw handle back in. Mate the jaw assembly back together and run in in and out a couple of times. You will notice a BIG difference in its operation now.Let me re-visit LIGHT DUTY. If you are going to do the village smithy thing on this, its going to break. This isnt that kind of vise. Are you going to clamp this thing down to make diamonds, its going to break. Are you going to hold gun parts at your bench, or cut a bolt or other reasonable house hold tasks. It'll be just fine.TL:DR This is a very reasonably priced light duty household garage/basement bench vise. It has limitations and needs a little TLC when you first get it. Realize this and do the initial maintenance and it should serve you well.

I mounted this vise to my work bench using a set of flange bolts and nuts (you can also just use hex bolts with washers if you can't find flange bolts). When mounted correctly, the vise will perform as it's intended to. This vise is good quality, durable, and strong enough for most household/domestic uses. Good bang for your buck.

me gustó esta prensa porque es de buena calidad, es barata y cumple la función. Aparte de la prensa de 4.5 pulgadas también incorpora una mordaza circular para cortar tubos. Sirve muy bien para trabajos de hogar. 100% recomendable!!.

Yost LV-4 Home Vise 4-1/2" at this price is awesome for a good light duty swivel vise with one year warranty! And at this price it is obviously not made in the USA and is not a medium nor professional grade vise. If you want a vise able to withstand a lot of pressure with zero movement with a large anvil, then this is not the vise you need. I would recommend looking at The Yost Apprentice series at least. This is clearly for the casual user who just needs a light duty simple vise and probably targeted toward someone who will not use this very often.I've used it for household projects, school projects, building a pinewood derby car, regripping a golf club and gunsmith projects (filing a magazine) for example. Works great for everything I've used it for and grips great, opens pretty wide, swivels when needed and is solid.If you are concerned about the size, before you buy please go get a tape measure and go out to where you'll be installing this and measure; all the dimensions are listed here or on Yost's website. I don't understand reviews that state it was 'smaller than expected'. You should always measure!I liked it for the very reason it is compact and doesn't take up much of my bench space for something I seldom will use. I'll probably only use mine once a month on average and it is perfect for that.If you get a defective unit, Amazon will take it back no issues, plus Yost also has a year warranty. It happens.

What an amazing vise this is..This vice is in the Top 5 vises in the market today!I wanted a vise for my electronics workbench but all the vises I had seen where either aluminium and low quality or very small for the usage I wanted. Plus they were equipped to be attached on a bench with the help of a screw pad and OMG very expensive to buy too..In my work I can use it as a holder to solder a connector or to hold an enclosure box for drilling..Because I've worked with a couple of vises before I had always problem with stabilization of the vise.Therefor I decided to go with a heavy-duty vise like this one.And on this age of cheapness that surrounds us nowadays (where almost everything is plastic or the lowest quality metal and sometimes its even plastic painted like metal), I've never expect to find a heave-duty professional vise especially on this prize! Just $40 bucks.I've got to tell you that not only its amazing, never moves on the bench no matter what work I do on it (I mean its 5 Kg) but also it has an awesome holder that can be used on light and tough work as well. You don't have to tight it strong to hold whatever you're working with.I'm totally satisfied with it and I recommend it to anyone for all kind of jobs.
