I didn't find anything I didn't like about this vise. It's well built and I particularly like the fact that it's made of steel rather than cast iron. I've only used it to work on a few small projects, but I'm sure it can handle larger ones as well. I mounted mine on two pieces of 3/4" birch plywood that I spliced together to make them 1 1/2" thick. I attach it to my desktop, but if need be I can remove it and take it to the garage.
