It worked fine in my garage at home for a few months but the clip holding the jaw spreader spring broke. Customer support is not helping yet. I will edit later if UPDATE fixes the issue. Pat from Yost Visas contacted me and was able to provide me with a diagram of a potential problem. I still give it three stars due to repairs needed during its first year of operation. I think I expected more quality from an American company. UPDATE 4/19/19. After finally being able to dive into the vise, I took it off the table to see what the problem might be and noticed that the spring was loose. I decided to buy an old American vise and toss the Yost in the trash. In my opinion, this vise is only suitable for very light use. Save time and money and buy a better quality vise from the start. The gentleman who contacted me was also extremely aggressive trying to get me to delete my review so that was it. Much luck!
