Revainrating 4 out of 5

Poor fit and finish

I'm not impressed I know you make more expensive vises but it's a step up from entry level but you never know based on fit and finish. An instruction manual was not included. I know you don't need it, but it's there, you just won't get it. It doesn't have black oxide bolsters as advertised, not to mention the tubular bolsters showed bandsaw marks. The outer lip of the tube was probably bent 8 degrees enough to not work without immediate adjustment and was rusty on the inside. The coloring is stained and was not taped off properly leaving the treated areas stained and chipped. bad right out of the box. None of the corners or edges have been machined and they need a new quality controller because my cast had to be rejected, it's like my mate's port port cargo stick. It was barely oiled, and the grease on the screw looked like it had been taken from the axle hub of a thirty-year-old truck. None of these complaints are extremely critical, so hopefully this will continue. I would buy a Wilton if I could turn back time. It just seems like the people who built this vise didn't care. If it was $100 I would give it 4.5 stars but it's a bit over the top and disappointing.

Pros
  • Clamps
Cons
  • Cables shorter than others
