As a beginner engraver, these vices were affordable for me. That will do. but at the moment I don't know how long. What I don't like is the overall cheap quality. All holes are tapped and none of the pins are threaded. The pins are brittle and most of them aren't even the same size as the holes (many are too big, others, hardly useful, are too small and have a lot of play). If you plan photographing work in progress, find a way to fix the holes because they are completely rusted. The kit…

Pros
  • Self-Centering Jaw System: The Mini Ball Vise features a self-centering jaw system designed for stone setting, fine engraving and other delicate work.
Cons
  • Other Other

Low quality. You will not use it for serious jewelry work.

Vevor 3 is an inferior imitation of a real engraving block ball vise. While this works for general engraving you might do sometime at Blue Moon, it's not for real jewelry work. But they are suitable for wood carving, which is why I gave them 2 stars. Problems: the tolerances of all parts are just too big, and all moving parts have too much play - the two slide chucks have about 3mm play. at the top, causing the set to lack precision. The holes are threaded and the pins are all smooth, and again

Pros
  • Rotational Braking System: The internal rotational braking system allows the user to select rotational resistance from free to locked. The double ball bearing system ensures smooth rotation without play and internal wear.
Cons
  • Not as thick as other vises

Good Value

VEVOR Engraving Vise (Pin Vise): My unit arrived with the GRS logo on the plastic knob next to the jaws. Being unfamiliar with the GRS hardware I will not comment on the finish other than these vises are well machined and assembled with very nice satin and polished chrome, no burrs or marks. All accessories fit as expected. and the movement of the jaws was so smooth as one might expect. There was some sticking and friction when rotating the top half of the ball, but since the whole ball can be…

Pros
  • Wide Application: A full set of standard engraving ball vise is ideal for stone setting, small engraving and other precision work. Engineered to offer a unique combination of powerful work support in a small and maneuverable size. Its low profile is suitable for microscope work.
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging
