💡 Innovative Yost Tools Y18SS Vise Screw: Enhanced Performance and Durability Review

This screw is 3 turns per inch faster than most metal screws. For comparison, Veritas/Lee Valley vise screws have a pitch of 5-6 threads per inch. This greatly affects the speed of movement of the vise. Compared to the Veritas/Lee Valley clamps I use, the build quality seems about the same.
