Review on πŸ–€ Black Universal Rotate Clamp by MYTEC by Danny Lavimodiere

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good for that occasional annual truck project.

Media could not be loaded. If you're like me and find that you need a vise about once a year and don't want to spend $70 or 80 on a non-slave vise, this might be your best bet. It should be noted that this vise came with a number of sharp edges that would damage any metal object I would use in the vise. return. Instead of sending it back, I ordered a carbon steel file ($12 from Revain, 2 day shipping) to remove those jagged bits of metal from each edge of the vise. So after 20 minutes I have a reasonably smooth vise surface that would probably work well for my once a year projects. This vise head rotates freely unless you turn the small knob at the base. There doesn't seem to be a consistent way to block rotation, so you'll just have to play with it until it works. I've found that it's easier to lock the knob when everything is upside down. If you need a vice more than 3 times a year or you appreciate beautiful things, be sure to spend more money and buy something more expensive. a little better. Probably anything in the world would be better than this vise. But it works for me and I like the idea that it doesn't really come out of the box. I also enjoy working with Jimmy and thinking about a problem and then solving it with cheaper tools. That's the American way.

Pros
  • PROTECT TABLETOP: No need to perforate the table during installation, with 2 rubber washers to avoid scratching the table and 2 sponge washers to protect parts, first adjust the fixing chin to the larger hole, then adjust the rubber washer to the bring planned corresponding position, fasten at the end);
Cons
  • Expensive
