This is an excellent Vice option if you have a slab of wood to make a vice with, worked exactly as advertised!

I’ve purchased Yost vises before and haven’t been disappointed yet. I painted mine black prior to assembly. Makes a great leg vise on my new workbench.

This piece is truly a heavy duty tool. Stoutly made. I had to make my own handle from a piece of galvanized pipe.and a couple of caps

Relatively easy to install, and smooth to operate. I had to put a block above the screw under the bench to keep it from being pulled up too high by the weight of the vise when fully closed, but once I did that it has been excellent to use. Of course, there has to be some clearance in the threads for it to turn easily, so this 'slop' really isn't an issue, just something to be aware of in how you approach your vise design.

This screw is faster than most metal screws, at 3 tpi. For comparison, the Veritas/Lee Valley vise screws are 5-6 tpi. This makes a big difference in how fast the vise will move.Compared to the Veritas/Lee Valley vise screw I have been using, the build quality seems about the same. I wish the Yost screw came with mounting hardware. #10 wood screws seem to work fine, and #12 screws would probably also work.If you are building a custom vise for your workbench, this is a very good option. Other metal screws the same price (e.g. Veritas/Lee Valley) are slower, nicer metal screws are much more expensive (e.g. Benchcrafted), and wooden screws are also much more expensive. This is a great choice for woodworkers on a budget.

Good quality vice screw, well priced. I used it to build a leg vice and I would buy again if ever I need one.

Excellent leg vice screw for the money. It needs a flange for the screw to rest in when it's mounted to the table leg because the weight of the screw and the vice causes the screw to dig in the leg making it difficult to screw out after about 4 inches. I'd definitely buy another one.

I decided to build a custom workbench for my shop and researched vises extensively before deciding I should add a leg vise to the project. This vise screw is the right size and length to give you plenty of width even when attached to a pretty thick table leg. You have a bunch of options for bracing the lower leg portion for the leverage component, but I chose to play with my welder and make life hard for myself. I'm very pleased with the auto-adjusting X brace, so if you want to use that, there are some sellers online who make custom ones. Very rewarding project, so I highly encourage you take advantage of this affordable device to make a very useful vise customized to your needs.

I was Looking for a screw for my home made Roubo workbench leg vise. This product was cheaper than most others I found and looked exactly the same. It is a heavy duty screw and should stand up to many years of use. Would recommend it for this type of project.

For this price I expected some really rough product - what I got was considerably better. The screw is highly polished, there is a slight burr left over but will go away with use. The only point where one might have to intervene, is in the interior of the short tube that houses the handle - you might want to sand this a little bit so that the handle moves smoothly. Very sturdy, highly recommended.
