Review on WEN VJT404 Universal Soft Grip Magnetic: The Ultimate Solution for Easy, Secure Tool Use by Bruce Marable

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good little vise for the price

Very good vise. The assembly is generally of good quality, the screw turns smoothly and the jaw moves smoothly with no play feel. The overall weight seems to be a few pounds (I didn't weigh it, it's just "I use a vise as a third hand to hold circuit boards etc to work with the electronics. The weight is very good for that purpose, because it's quite heavy to stay on the non-stick surface under its own weight - a static rubber mat when normal pressure is applied for soldering etc. I managed to hook mine to $11 during a brief price drop from Revain, so I was very happy with the vise using it as a third hand at this price point.

Pros
  • Has contours to grip cylindrical workpieces at 90 and 45 degrees
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
