Review on Efficiently Enhance Your Workstation with PANAVISE 350 Multi-Purpose Work Center by Duane Kerr

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not the quality I expected for the money.

Like many others I bought this to hold the locks which works very well as it's heavy enough to stay in place and the locks won't loosen in a vise . The main problems are that the metal coating on the base had blisters that kept coming off when touched with a finger (on the first and second ones I've received so far). Speaking of which, I'm currently waiting for my third as the second didn't come with cheeks, cheek pads or screws. Also, the way the jaws are squeezed from below is very uneven when holding the object. The brackets that hold the jaws tend to tilt when squeezed, so the bottom of the jaw is squeezed tight and the top begins to open again. This isn't a big problem though as the pads included in the kit hold the locks well. I'll try to include a picture of vise number 3 when they arrive if the jaws are included this time. Edit: Got the third. It has a horrible looking weld (pictured), I took a fair bit off with a knife to clean it up but I don't really think it will hold up.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Little things
