Sturdy but not accurate. Hardly worth the $17 price tag.

Sturdy but not precise. The sliding jaw is very wobbly and doesn't have a machined sliding fit on the base (like a T shape or a cone shape like a real drill vise).

Thus, no really precise positioning of the workpiece can be achieved than if the sliding block were more limited. I wasn't expecting much for $17 and didn't get it.

I've already spent over an hour repeating it, only .

Ok when I bought this I knew I wasn't getting anything that looked like a machinist's tool, I mean I just wanted to use it on my 8 inch Harbor Freight table that cost $57.00. Drilling machine. But the vise wasn't really worth the $4 store! I've already spent over an hour revising it just to bring it up to some usable standard. The bolted faces of the jaws were not tightened even when the bolts were tightened. It appears that the poor job of drilling holes in the jaw plates (fake) allowed the…
