**Wilton WS6 Shop Bench Vise - 6 Inch Jaw Width, 6 Inch Max Opening, 3.5 Inch Throat - Heavy Duty Metalworking & Woodworking Clamp for DIY Projects, Home Garage, and Workshop Use**

Edit: 12/2024. I paid $145 back in 2020. Just an fyi. This vise is still going strong after all this time. Still doing random handy man stuff with it. Still happy with my purchase. Original review is below:I was looking for a made in the USA high quality bench vise. A vise reminiscent of the one my father used 30 years ago. Like many of you, I discovered the price tag attached to a high quality American made bench vise dashed my hopes of obtaining one. This was going to be my first vise and i wanted one to last.During my research I found that Wilton maintained some exacting standards to their "Foreign Made" bench vises. So matching my needs to a vise, I decided on this Wilton WS6.First off, this thing is HEAVY. The FedEx driver did not carry it the last 6 ft to the front door and dropped it off halfway. Shipping weight with outer box was 49 lbs. Box says Manufactured in China to Wilton Specifications. On amazon, description says 25,000 casting, but on the Wilton website the WS6 is Listed at 30,000 PSI cast iron. The box and paperwork for the WS6 say it has a "lifetime" warranty", but i do not see myself needing it anytime soon.PROS: Heavy Duty, All the parts seem to fit together well, Very smooth when operating, Rigid with very little slop, Once locked downed It did not move while beating on it, Jaws line up perfectly, Holds well, Swivels well, 4 Mounting Holes vs 3, 2 Swivel Locks, Perfect for my needs. (General Purpose, Handyman)CONS: This thing was dirty, grease seemed to have been used to coat every surface. (to prevent rust maybe??) There were metal shavings and paint chips stuck to the grease. A couple spots on the machined edge of the u-channel screw cover were sharp, cut you like a knife sharp, it was not de-burred very well. I had to file those edges down. So be careful where you put your hand before you inspect the screw cover.OVERALL: Great value for the money. 5 stars. I would totally recommend this vise for those of you out there wanting quality, but sadly not able to afford an American made bench vise. After wiping it down, cleaning it up and applying some protective silicone grease, I stood back and admired this piece of equipment I purchased. The WS6 is definitely worth the money spent. I have only used it a couple times, and will update my review if anything changes. Now, only time will tell if it will last.
