I would have liked a little more product

Honestly for the money I expected a more finely tuned product. Forget the precision of a cheap aluminum dial pointer. In addition, the propeller and curved cradle could have been made more carefully to ensure smooth movement with less effort. To be honest I would have liked a little more product for my $135 after tax. I hate to say this, but I can't help but think; These problems didn't exist when the US made them.

Pros
  • Tools & Housewares
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks

It's good. fits vise

At first I doubted this was no longer an American company but the product arrived in good condition and well lubricated. The fit and finish is good, the ride is good with a smooth ride along the rotational length, it works as intended, there is very little play in the clamp, at a price I would recommend. As a side note, my father-in-law who works as a locksmith already borrowed it, so I'll stop there. I would order again without reservation if needed

Pros
  • vise
Cons
  • Only available in black

This angle vise is not specifically a vise. The insertion pin size is 2.98mm and the receiver hole size is 3.22mm, so the maximum possible error is 0.24mm. This equates to degrees as the variance of 0.0026667 at 90 degrees, but much more than 15 degrees, about 0.016 of the variance. Therefore it is not an accurate instrument. You can replace the pin by taking a steel wire or bar of the correct diameter and aligning the end to accommodate the hole for the attached chain. However, the question…

Pros
  • Hand tool
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
