Review on Palmgren 12152 Drill Press Vise by Jacob Ashman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent vise, lasts a lifetime

I bought this vise for home use because it looked like a vise (same brand) that I used as a locksmith for many years. It's very well made, solid construction, great holding power, the jaws are aligned and square and will hold a square when clamped; just a nice addition to a drill press setup. For the drill press, this is much more useful than some of the cheaper drill press vises that can only be used flat. These vices hold items either horizontally or rotated 90 degrees on either side and are grooved to securely hold a round workpiece. Because of the way it's made and my experience with the one I've used before, I know I can pass it on to my kids so it's well worth the small extra cost.

Pros
  • Jaw size: 1-1/2 inch
Cons
  • Crushed vise
