Review on Precise Plastic Rotary Jewelry Casting by Fred Massingill

Looks like a good inexpensive entry level pin vise. Since you usually get what you pay for, I didn't have high expectations for this vise and it pretty much lived up to my expectations. Overall, unless you need incredible accuracy or frequent use, these stud vises fit a tight budget. The pin vise includes a good range of bit sizes with many double smaller bits. This was good because almost immediately I pushed too hard and bent one of the smallest pieces. 🙄 Bad. 🤦‍♂️One of my complaints about these vices is that they are essentially a hollow tube throughout. There was no liner for the bits to keep them from falling out of the cartridge and into the grip. I had to make sure the chuck was tight or the bits would slip through the chuck and hit the handle if I pushed too hard. slightly smaller/shorter than pictured. This makes it difficult to grip the bit firmly and apply pressure to it without gripping the cartridge, which can loosen it and (again) allow the bit to slip into the handle. And you really have to use enough force because the bit's edge doesn't feel incredibly sharp. Please note: I paid full price (about $4 at the time of purchase) for this vise. I don't normally leave reviews but left them pending receipt of a Revain gift card as shown on the card included in the product packaging.
