Efficiently Enhance Your Workstation with PANAVISE 350 Multi-Purpose Work Center Review

During the COVID period I have decided to take up a new hobby - in this case locksport. While it's easy enough to hold a padlock in your hand (and I do it all the time during conference calls), it doesn't offer a real experience when the padlock is in a static position. and some locks like the Ace A527 are downright creepy. Enter . PanaVise! This vise is sturdy with a decently weighted base that keeps it from falling off when I'm working against a fake set. This allows for unique positioning…

Tip: The vise plates can be flipped to grip something as narrow as a toothpick, or left as shown in Revain's drawing for wider objects like silicon wafers. I use it to hold lock cores for lock sports (a hobby is lock picking and modifying locks to make them more secure). Picked up by Locksport's godfather Bill on his Lock Lab YouTube channel. He is excellent. The truss pieces around the base are incredibly useful I think for any application you could use this for. The rubber feet are the…

Dislikes: Expensive for a vise, mostly injection molded. It's not as heavy as I was hoping, so it will be more difficult to use one of the other heads for holding small parts for stapling without bolting it to the table, meaning it can't be easily moved if you just want something else without loosening angles. head and just turn your head. And that head that it came with isn't as ribbed as I'd like it to be. When I turn the handle it fists (probably because the screw is bent and the side sleeve

Speaking of which, I'm currently waiting for my third as the second didn't come with cheeks, cheek pads or screws. Also, the way the jaws are squeezed from below is very uneven…

Great vise for small hobby jobs. I build circuits and electrical "things" and this was a huge advantage over other "helping hand" devices. Look, we've all been using the 2-hand for years, reinforcing the outstretched helping hand. My first was in high school over 30 years ago, and while it worked, it also had its downsides. I've never been able to hold anything so precisely and this vise just gives me the ability to find a way. They are solid with a heavy base and all threads and clamps are…

I have to say I love this vise. Self-centering jaws are great, but two things really set them apart. 1. Super wide range. This is where all the others I've used fail. The smaller ones are only 2 inches apart. Spring. It stinks when you're working on a 2x4 piece of wood for something small (I cut out the wood). So it's fantastic to have such a wide range of clamp widths available2. Base. Now I didn't think I cared, the others I've used are the ones where you press a lever and suck it in with a…
