Very nice little vice. My employer bought a pair of 6" Yost vises (cast iron) for the shop and I have to say that the small 4" vise I bought compares incredibly well. I took it apart to clean like most tools I buy and am very happy with the build. I think this thing is for life. I've added some photos of different components. This vise is made of steamed steel, some parts of which are welded together. If you break any part of the frame you can just weld it together. You can definitely tell it's made abroad, but it's one of the better quality import tools. Thank you Jost!
