Wilton 11104 4-Inch Bench Vise with Rubber Jaw Caps - Heavy Duty Clamping Tool for Woodworking & Metalworking - Perfect for DIY Projects, Home Workshops & Professional Use

This vise has been an awesome addition to my woodworking bench. I have recently taken up the hobby of woodworking and I needed some sort of vise. This vise has turned out very well for most of my woodworking needs. It is bench mounted so it will be up in the air and no flush with the bench. For woodworking this isn't exactly optimal for all things but it gets me by for a lot of sawing and chiseling operations. This vise is also great for things like holding firearms for gunsmithing or holding other items for various hobbies. The 4 inch opening seems like more than enough for most things. The vise will also rotate which is useful for some things. Installation was very easy for me. I set the vise up where I wanted it on the work bench and used a pencil to mark the hole areas on the bench. I then drilled out the holes to match the diameter of the vise holes. I then installed the vise using 3 bolts, washers, and nuts I bought from home depot for a few dollars. It has stayed secured now for a few months no problem.I also bought these jaw covers in order to grip things like wood without deforming it as much: Lisle 48100 Vice Jaw PadJust remember, these pads will effectively lower the opening to under 4 inches.Pros:*Sturdy*Well machined for the price*Easy to installCons:*NoneAdditional Considerations:As I mentioned this vise is made to be mounted to the top of your workbench. So its not exactly optimal for all woodworking needs. It does great for a lot of things though. And it is especially good for things like holding firearms parts or other hobby tasks. If you want a nice woodworking vice you will probably want to check out a vise that is installed underneath the workbench and is level with the workbench. This allows more clamping operations on things. It also allows a more secure hold of something like a shooting board.Overall: 5/5 stars (>=.5 rounds up, <.5 rounds down) => 5 starsIf you have any further questions regarding the product in my review please leave a comment below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
