Review on PANAVISE 304 Flat Head by Hector Sosa

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The screws have been removed at the factory.

Whoever assembled this at the factory either did not tap the holes with the appropriate size tap or unthreaded them with a pneumatic tool. The bolts holding the jaws to the vise fell out of their heads as soon as I unwrapped them. At the same time I bought a Stock Panavise 303 head and it had the screw heads completely removed. Again, some sort of power tool was used to add the screws and they had to be hand tightened with a Phillips head screwdriver. Returned both to Revain and ordered new ones directly from Panavise after phoning them about this issue today.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • The packaging is ugly
