The vise is being used in several different settings such as garages and shops, and whether the user is professional or an enthusiast, the utility of this product stands out.

  • 👌 Well-built with high quality finish

  • 💪 Solid and robust design
  • 🔧 Easy to install and use

Cons

  • 🤷 Some customers needed to do minor cleanup when first received

Should I Buy It?

Given the positive feedback, the vise is a good buy for those who need a solid, versatile tool for their workbench.

Overall, the product delivers well on its features and is highly recommended by current users.

    • Beast of a bench vise - perfect for the home garage
Size: DT100-4In
If you’re in the market for a solid bench vise, the Forward DT100 4 Inch Heavy Duty Bench Vise is definitely worth checking out. This little beast packs a punch with its 360-degree swivel base, making it super versatile for all your projects. First off, the build quality is impressive. It feels sturdy and durable, perfect for heavy-duty tasks without any wobbling or slipping. The anvil on the side is a nice touch too; it’s great for shaping metal or doing some light hammering. Mounting to my work bench was a breeze as well with the supplied hardware. The 4-inch jaws provide a good grip, and they open wide enough to accommodate various materials. Whether you’re working on wood, metal, or anything in between, this vise holds everything securely in place. Plus, the swivel feature means you can easily adjust your workpiece without having to reposition the entire vise. Overall, if you want a reliable, heavy-duty bench vise that won’t break the bank, the Forward DT100 is a solid choice. It’s functional, well-made, and makes DIY projects a lot easier. Highly recommend! ... show more

    • A Fine Consumer Grade Vise

Review Image by KB KB
The media could not be loaded. THIS IS A GREAT VISE for medium duty. It is fully featured, well made, and ductile iron, which should reduce the possibility of cracking or breaking. I bought it to replace a small Wilton bench vise that I wore out by using it for bigger jobs than it was designed for. I suspect the features this vise offers will seldom be used by the typical homeowner or handyman, but for the occasion where a bigger vise is called for, this is a great addition for the workbench. The Forward DT08125A 5-Inch Heavy Duty Bench Vise arrived well packaged. No damage to box or contents. I mounted it with appropriate hardware for my bench application. Everyone's installation, and hardware, will vary. From all the complaints I read about this model's operation and design, they were mostly unfounded, for a vise in this price range. The vise opens and closes smoothly, a full 5" between the jaws. The design allows the work piece to clear the edge of the work bench, if the vise is mounted correctly. The jaws were both parallel and perpendicular and tightly clamped a piece of paper with no gaps. Handle is 9" long and 0.558" diameter. The vise base rotates smoothy 360 degrees and locks down firmly, given that you find the index detent (provided by tooth-like index nubs internal to the base) while tightening the dual clamps, one on each side. The vise JAW rotates smoothly 360 degrees and locks down firmly. The jaw won't rotate when firmly tightened, but will rotate with some force when the jaws are not fully tightened. That is more a matter of mechanics than it is design. After installation, the vise was solid as a rock. I made a video to go with this review to provide some scale of size, and to demonstrate the features of its design. I added O'rings to the vise handle for more convenient configuration/ operation (see video). Reviews complaining about this or that (not counting shipping damage from improper handling in transit) will likely by remedied by experience and use. My vise was in OEM packaging, delivered by amazon, and arrived in perfect condition. I researched and reviewed vises for many, many hours. I found no "cons" except that it is BIG ( almost 17" long) for the allotted space once taken up by the little red Wilton vise (which I would not recommend except for very light duty). I'm very happy with this one, would buy it again, give it as a gift, and would recommend it to all my rowdy friends. ... show more

    • Great vice for the money
Size: DT08125A-5In
This is an excellent vice, the only slight improvement I would make would be markings on the rotational part so that you can easily figure out where 0 and 90 are.

    • A very decent vise.
Size: DT100-4In
Fit and finish is good. Opens very smoothly Jaws aligned good Mine had a slight drag every half rotation when closing jaws that is irritating, QC missed that issue. Not many 4" vises in this configuration style to choose from; this vise was the most visibly appealing to me The only issue that I had with this vice is that if you want to rotate the vise on its base, it will require several turns loosening both screws on the base; this is only a hinderance if you constantly have turn or adjust the vise for a project. Overall, I am generally very pleased with this vise, and I would have given it 5 stars if it's base mechanism was easier to engage and release for my purposes and if it didn't have the slight catch when closing the jaws. ... show more

Perfect vice for the home shop. It was well packaged surrounded by styrofoam and it arrived with no damage. I like the swivel head design perfect for clamping wood or metal and pipe. What’s also nice is they provide mounting bolts which many other companies do not. I bought this vice to replace a smaller one I had and I needed a larger vice which is more versatile for different types of jobs. I would recommend this vice for the diy’ers . Great tool to have ... show more

    • Great vise for light work/first shop setup

I was looking for a good vise that could serve for light work around the house and beginning gun smithing. For this price point of about $140 there seems to be a few good choices all made in China. I took advantage of a holiday special and got this one. The vise arrive well-packaged and ready to set up right out of the box. I am not a heavy duty machinist or DIY'er. But I'm very happy with the quality and sturdiness of this vise. My vise does not have any slop or rattles when fully closed and the finish seems well applied. For my first vise and the type of work I plan on doing, I am very pleased. For beginners who wish to know about installation, I set this up on a Fedmax work bench bought here on Amazon. This bench has 1 inch thick Acacia wood which is very hard and durable and will support this vise very well. I drilled four 1/2 inch diameter holes to match the mounting holes of the vise and used four 7/16-20 x 3 inch grade 5 hex cap screws, eight 7/16 inch washers, four 7/16 inch zinc lock washers, and four hex nuts 7/16x20. The 3 inch bolts worked perfectly for the 1 inch thick bench. Depending on the thickness of your mounting surface you can select the length of your bolts accordingly. ... show more
