Great product for the home workshop

After careful research on competing products I purchased this vise and am very pleased. Often times such heavy tools are damaged in transit but I have to commend Yost and Revane for the excellent double box as it arrived fully intact and pristine. The fit, finish and function of the vise are excellent. It pivots easily and has double latches that keep it secure. I mounted it using 3/8" mounting screws with washers and lock washers (obviously not included as all mounting charts are different). I

Pros
  • Hardened Steel Serrated (Upper) Jaws
Cons
  • Outdated

Good vise for moderate use (4.5 ")

This is a great vise for your garage or basement workbench. It's powerful enough to handle moderate tasks with confidence, and some useful features make it versatile. The 360 degree swivel is great and as other reviewers have noted they now come with mounts on either side. This allows you to pivot and lock without kickback. The grooves under the jaws also hold the cutting tubes securely. When assembling, you must be right at the end of the table so that the fixed jaw protrudes over the edge ofโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Mounting tabs on base: (4) x 7/16" D
Cons
  • No automatic

Replacement for my 40 year old Craftsman

After nearly 40 years of using my Japanese Craftsman 391-5180 3.5" vise, I've finally gotten them too far pushed , stretched the bolt and broke the tracks the nut slides in. After a bit of research I decided a Yost 445 4.5" vise would be a good substitute. + Yost base rotates 360ยบ and has two Locking screws, one on each side.The base has locks to prevent it from rotating without having to tighten the locking screws.The Craftsman was adjustable less than 180ยบ and had a non-locking locking screwโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Tube capacity: 1/8" x 2" diameter filled jaws
Cons
  • Some small things
