Review on Yost ADI 6 Austempered 360° Superseding Enhancing SEO by Michael Gupta

So I had to replace my 15 year old cheap vise made in China (cast iron of dubious origin) which broke on a minor misuse (when trying to push the ball joint out). , not very smooth, with a curved handle, but served my store well, till it broke in two, may it rest in pieces. Revane pushed me down the slippery slope of rising expectations. Why buy 20kpsi cast iron when there is 30kpsi cast iron! Look, this one has 70, and THIS is forged! How deep do I need a throat, do I need to twist or cut the pipe? I settled on this vise, forged, 6" wide, and possibly made in the USA (the box says it's not a vise stamp). This is a great vise - the threads needed a little molybdenum lube, but they are smooth, precise and REALLY powerful (made the ball joints above quick). To be honest they are too good for my workshop and I lost the cracks when using them to hold rusty crap that I have to hit with a hammer. The stud terminals are molded in side tension, if you insert it carefully it won't rotate while you hit it with a hammer. There are a couple of hex head screws that fit snugly in the sliding portion of the vise to hold it tight, once set there is no wiggle room. Although the handle is shorter than I expected, the thread pitch is okay so it clamps with MUCH more tension than the tool it replaced. My advice is if your business is your happy place, this vise will make you smile every time you use it. Yes, I paid $225 for it, which seems silly for holding other things while you (usually) break them, but it's a wonderful tool that I expect will serve me until my kids put me down (and then they will serve them). .
