I have been using a Bessey 5" 125mm swivel vise for five years. It satisfied all my home desktop needs. I hammer, saw, bend, draw, carve, grind, chisel, drill and measure. This is hard! I didn't find the "free" component in this handle that some other reviewers described. I'll keep an eye on it. I would recommend this one Giving vise more stars, but I recently saw a similar rotating vise from Forge that had a 90 degree left-right indicator around the tip of the working end of the tube (so you measured vise grip distance in inches/mm) rotates perpendicular to the base (very handy as it turned out) this isn't on my 2011 Bessey Also on a 2009 Pittsburg multi-purpose (non-swivel) vise of the same size and de s same price in the camp where I work, the anvil on the cylinder 50% larger than this Bessey. Come on Ryan, catch up!
