  • Excellent product!
Size: CR80A-8In
Very solid and smooth operation - it replaced a vise that gave up after 20 years of service. And it is so much better at about the same weight.

  • Solid Bench Vise for General Shop Work
Size: CR40A-4.5In
I’ve been using this vise regularly in my workshop and it has held up very well. The construction feels solid, the swivel base is useful when repositioning workpieces, and it clamps securely without feeling flimsy or loose under load. For general shop use, firearm work, light fabrication, and random garage projects, it has been more than capable. The jaws line up well, the action has stayed smooth, and the anvil surface is handy to have when needed. It strikes a good balance between price and performance. There are obviously heavier industrial vises out there, but for most home shop users this is a very solid option that doesn’t feel cheap. ... show more

  • Appears well made
Size: CR50A-5.5In
Admittedly I don't often write reviews but I feel a bit guilty as I do use reviews to guide my purchases oftentimes. Vises can be very pricey... granted you should theoretically be purchasing once-in-a-lifetime even passing them on to family, getting all value for your money but sinking that money up front is often hard to do. That being said... this vise seems very well made and appears it's going to last. I intentionally went with a vise that didn't rotate or is "double" sided with two jaws top and bottom. If you place a long or heavy objects in those types of Vises and produce heavy torque on the workpiece they'll move on you, I don't care what they advertise. This vise still has a tube or cylinder jaw and a fairly deep throat which is harder to find. It has nice wide jaws width wise as well as the nice 5.5" range of opening the jaws up. There are two additional indentations for holding circular objects in the main jaws (see photos) the clamp for hold the rotation of the vise itself seems sufficient.... we'll see as time goes on. I think this was a good buy. The vise arrived well packaged and in a box with a molded foam container protecting it well. You may think an object like this might not need protection but you'd be surprised. Hard objects do crack! ... show more
