I love this thing! It seems very well built and operates smoothly. The jaws open wide for its size which is what I hoped. It’ll be good for pressing bearings on 3s diffs etc. It’s the only one I found of this size (under $50) that either clamps or bolts on.

Fireball Tool (great Youtube channel with the most insane machine park I've yet seen) built the two greatest vises I've ever seen. One is a 16" table mounted vise and the other is a floor standing MOAV (Mother Of All Vises). I'd give my left nut to have either or both. They not only look good, but their performance is off the scale.

I agree. I don’t have a huge table but this vice is a must…

I love the bigger vices. I have one attached to an outdoor covered work table way in the back corner of the yard that looks just like that one. Had it near 30 years. I got this smaller one because it’s mobile or stationed. Someone gave me the idea of attaching it to a big heavy board so I get the best of both worlds. I’m quite surprised at the quality, it’s just very solid for the price.
Glad to know I wasn't the only one who came expecting drugs & hookers.
Totally not what I thought this thread was about. 🤣
Yeah there was absolutely nothing intentional in my post to draw that conclusion 🙃
I've been using this one and it works great for rc stuff. It does only open up to 2 1/14 inches but I haven't needed it to open up any more than that https://www.harborfreight.com/hand-.../2-1-2-half-inch-table-swivel-vise-97160.html
That one is really nice. I didn’t occur to me to check harbor freight even though it should’ve. I need 4 inches though 😂😂🤣🤣 yeah yeah yeah
Yes! Gotta have a vise.
Yeah you caught what I was doing 😂
