Amazing vise and valuable high end tool

I am very impressed with this vise and Yost. I have some very good quality WWII Swiss vises and Wilton vises that I treasure. Yost vises come out of the box clean, smooth, beautifully finished and proudly stand alongside other premium vises as a quality product. Not oily and raw as you would expect at this price point. It is compact and resembles my ball vise in appearance. I paired this with a 4" aluminum Yost cap so I could have smooth jaws with no magnets. I can't use magnets as they haveโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Clamps
Cons
  • So far so good

The gold standard for compact vices.

This small vise is almost too big for a compact vise. Something to consider if you really need a vise for a tight space. In addition, it is exceptionally well made for its petite size. You really can't find a better one in its class on the market right now. You will need to look for vintage and restore it to match this vise. Having said all that, there are a few minor issues I've encountered. Mine was not cleaned of debris well during reassembly and the debris ended up in the grease on the vise

Pros
  • Tools and Housewares
Cons
  • Not sure

Spikes on clamps

This vise is of excellent quality. This is designed for light loads, moderate would probably be a more appropriate rating. It should be noted that he has no tubular jaws. So if a round shank clamp is required, this vise is not for you. But for work in moderate conditions this vise is fine: the jaws are clamped in parallel, there is a good size anvil for shaping, the jaws have flat, horizontally machined surfaces - not the more usual diamond pattern, the base rotates 360 degrees. Degree with two

Pros
  • Hand tool
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
