This really is a beast! I have ordered and returned this vise from 3 different brands before. They had great reviews but they were all crap. Bad alignment, warped brackets, play, etc. This is not Capri, everything is correct! The anvil area is huge compared to others. like the color too. I will say that the way they make the pen is a bit rough although it works. You put it on and it comes with a hard rubber O-ring to attach to the end. I had to warm it up in hot water to put it on. It works and I think it can be replaced (unlike most rubber washers). However, I would feel a little better if they gave you a spare set. Also, someone needs to make 7 inch plastic jaws for this monster. I also use it on finished work. In general, I highly recommend using a cast iron vise.
