3.3‘’ Table Vise

I'm not a contractor, nor do I have a professional or well equipped garage work area. I'm just a homeowner who has an occasional need for a vice clamp such as this one. I will say that I do feel very professional having this clamped on the edge of my work top though. I can't say how this would hold up or suffice for a professional who uses it everyday, but this thing is hefty, solid, super handy and far sufficient for my needs. The little plastic protectors they provide to slip onto the underside of the table clamp, and on both sides of the vice itself are very nice to have. The pieces on the vice protect from scratches, though when I used it for holding a metal curtain rod in place, they tended to be a little slick. I stuck a piece of silicone on both sides and that provided both protection and grip. The pieces stay in place when being used, but they fall off easily if bumped when not in use. I've been keeping my vice clamped to the table so that plastic piece stays in place. I also keep the vice closed when not in use, and the plastic pieces aren't able to be knocked off that way either. Not much else to say other than I'm more than happy with this.

Sturdy little vice bought for work truck as I am a service technician. Very adjustable and will be handy for those times when the service equipment frames need reshaping.

Use this to sharoen my chainsaws out in field. Tightens down to my truck bed nice. Decent quality. I leave it on the bed of my truck snd use it a handful of times a week.

I was able to clamp a pieve of heated metal in these, grip the other end with some tongs, then walk around it to make a spiral handle for an old shop brush I have. It's a small vice, but a mighty one nonetheless! My one recommendation (especially for any other new/hobbyist smiths out there) is to save up for another vice that opens way from the mount, as this opens towards it. Don't get me wrong, this thing works great! Highly recommend grabbing one! You just have to be careful with clamping a long piece of material in these, since you only get about 1/4" of clearance between the outer jaw and your mounting surface. I'll probably update this review with a video later to demonstrate what I mean by "it opens towards the mount," just so other potential buyers see what I mean. Better to be informed! :) UPDATE: In the video I go over some of the features with the vise, but I may have discovered why the quick release button locks up. When you use that to push the jaws closed on something, I think it sort of lifts the teeth away from that spiral rail. So at first when you slide the jaw elsewhere, the teeth aren't in alignment with the rail. When you go to crank the jaws in either direction, the teeth will click into place and find their position again. Conversely, if you have it closed tightly onto something, those teeth have a really tight hold on the rail, which creates a lot of friction when trying to use the quick release. If you crank the jaws open a little bit before pressing the button, it relieves some of that friction and lets the teeth move more freely. All that is to say: if you clamp it tightly, it'll lock onto your material. Don't rely on the quick release to let go of something in a pinch (badum-tss), it'll be locked up until you unclamp the jaws a little bit. Hope this review is helpful!

Works great on my desk...don't need to go out to garage to clamp something...perfect size for small jobs...it's a great 3rd hand...

Bought this to use sharpening chainsaw chains in the field. It's small but does what I hope for.

Nice compact size. Good grip. Holds well to whatever you put it on.

I don’t know how this vise could be any better. And the best part is I can easily remove it from my desk, put it back in its box until I need it again. Love it.

Compact, easy to use, is well made

This thing is stronger than I thought it would be. Easy to use anywhere really. Great for small projects

Pour le prix, je ne m'attendais vraiment pas a cette qualité, la finition est impeccable, même juste serré sous la table mon épouse coupe des morceaux de bois flottés avec un égoïne, elle est très heureuse de son achat.

The vice allows for a variety of different orientations and mounting scenarios. It really suits medium to light duty jobs. I wouldn’t say it heavy duty.

Nice little vise. Could be a little bigger though and unfortunately, even when tightened down....it still rotates
