Terrific vise - hight quality - good vale for the quality of this unit
This is a quality vise. First of all It was well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. That is so important these days. The action of the main threaded rod is very smooth. I added some grease to lubricate it further.
The only "unknown" was the little chrome-plated pin included. I went to the on-line video to determine that it is used to loosen the bolts that allow turning of the mechanism to different angles. It stores nicely in a hole in the base.
The turning mechanism is anchored on two sides by serrated "teeth", and will not be in danger of slippage during use.
I researched vises and found a wide range of prices and quality. Reading the comments on other vises, it's clear this vise addresses most of the complaints others have had with competing units, even higher-priced ones. I look forward to a long service. -

H.D. Shop Mechanic’s Vise
I have been purchasing products from Garrett Wade almost from the beginning-1975. Their product descriptions have always been accurate and this vise is no exception. I was shopping for a vise and saw prices ranging from $40 to $2000. I don't know what a $2000 vise feels like but it can't be that much better than this vise. IMHO. This is a very nice vise, well worth the money. It does everything shown in the video with ease. It slides smoothly in and out as well as rotates easily. I added a set of Olympia Magnetic Vise Jaw pads #38-695. for soft materials and that's all the options this vise will need. I expect it to last for decades.

Heavy duty mechanics vise
Actually, I bought it for a neighbor in NY and my wife and I will not see it until mid July when we arrive. The neighbor is ravingly happy with it and he is not likely to overate any tool or shop piece. The service provided by your electronic and telephone operators is outstanding.
