Review on Light Duty Clamp On Vise - Pony 13025, 3-Inch by Bankroll Reed

On the plus side, the vise is all metal (no cheap plastic parts) and clamps to a table, trestle or other surface. The jaws are smooth, and while other reviewers complained of a weak grip, I found it held my metal bars, wood, and other objects quite well. On the other hand, the pin used in one of the bars rubs against the body of the vise. when opening the jaws. Opening the mouth isn't difficult, just a little annoying. The lips close gently. As the description says, this is a lightweight vise and suitable for light work. It's not really meant for fine work - you'll obviously need a dedicated vise for things like fly tying or jewelry work.
