Review on PanaVise 318 14 14 Inch Crossbar 315 by John Stowers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The levers are cast and the cross member is steel, corrosion sticks like a rock. After trying all types of

we had a water leak in the basement in my former home which caused my old Panavise PCB holder to leak. I thought, I would have dried everything but unfortunately the cast levers on the cross member were rusted and wouldn't adjust (the whole dissimilar metal thing, the levers are some kind of casting and the cross member was steel that had rusted together) like after applying all sorts of lube and even tried a brass hammer they still wouldn't budge.) So I ordered these levers and a new crossbar. The new arms have better spring tension adjustment than the old set and all the parts fit together nicely. Same old problem with knobs, that get in the way on very small boards, but the replacement parts work just as well, if not better than the original replacement part e were cheaper than a new set so I'm happy with the purchase.

Pros
  • 14" (304.8mm) CROSSBAR
Cons
  • High Price
