I think the Weiss is excellent value for the price, dimensions and specs. My only reason I gave it three stars was because it's a bit sloppy when opening the vise, it's not a soft open vise, and is advertised as being made in America, but is made in China, which is what it is for me at the moment disadvantage is. Time. I don't want to buy anything from China, but YOST is promoting itself as a false advertisement for an American company.
