Don't think you can beat it for the price.

With all the comments about not having a dog I was a little skeptical but at $16.48 even without a dog I would think that's a lot. She had a dog when mine arrived and it appeared to be a newer model (although she still had the same model number 38-736) as stated on the box 6 1/2" instead of 6" and it was listed as 6 Inches measured 1/2" (6 1/2" in product specifications). Some cleaning was required to remove the oil from the bars. Runs smoothly even after an oil change. If I ever have a problem

Pros
  • HIGH QUALITY: Strong and durable, this vise features a rotating double-locking base and wide jaws for securely gripping complex objects.
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than others

I got this truck today and it has .

Received this vise today and it has a metal latch as described. I will update the rating after I install and use it. Update: I installed a vise and they work fine. I wasn't expecting this to be the best item for the price. It clamps well if you use the vise center. Clamp on one side to cut dovetails, the vise flexes very easily and doesn't even stay over the jaw. I'm an amateur carpenter and I think this would be fine for me but probably not for the serious/professional. Another update, I think

Pros
  • SUPERIOR TOOLS: Olympia Tools offers quality and innovative hand and specialty tools, tool accessories and outdoor gear for construction, woodworking, home maintenance and repair.
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen

It's a total gamble

***EDIT*** I downgraded my rating to one star because I noticed that most of the pictures for the 6 1/2" vise are from an older, larger model and are no longer made This model appears to have been much better in overall build quality.You can tell which it is as the handle, main screw, pawl and front of the vise are rusted and lacking paint.There is also a crankcase pin at the end of the main screw to prevent the vise from falling apart.The rest of the product photos of different models are…
