SPEEDJAW 92748 6-Inch Low-Profile Bench Vise

It is, once setup properly, a fast and versatile vise. It won't replace your 6 inch stationary vise with an anvil but it clamps with great speed and makes a good diy milling vise being low profile. The build quality is a little lacking however if you take all of the guides out and oil every part that moves and use thread locker on the guide rods this thing is way more solid and clamps with even pressure.

I am not recommending it. Very poorly made. The vise is OK for occasional housework.

I don't have the real estate on my workbench to permanently mount a vice. This unit is a great compromise. Holds things firmly when I need it and stores out of the way when I do not.

Heavy duty vice with adjustable angle. The cast iron is uneven and this makes the jaws uneven as the top of the jaws are not level with each other by about 1/8th inch, end to end. Despite the uneveness of the jaws, the vice works well. Mounting screws were not included, so you need to provide your own. I used #14, flathead, 2 inch length woodscrews to fasten the base to my workbench. Vice can be removed from the base when it is not in use. Altogether, a good value for the price.

Works great! Mounted easily. Wish the manufacturer would have included the three screws needed to attach it to the work surface. And, I wish the seller would offer the matching Speed Grip anti-abrasion pads on Amazon.com.

Great little vise. Just add some blue lock tight to a few bolts and retighten everything. I use it for gunsmithing and general repairs, and it works great as a holding fixture. Wouldn’t put too much torque on it though.

I'll keep this brief: I really like the design of this vise. I hoped it was fully functional and worth the money. What I received is a high-tech designed vise with uneven jaws that track and clamp like a cheap cloned vise from a long boat ride and originating in countries far, far away. The parts were assembled poorly, the long hex bolts were looking bent, misaligned, and not a very clean-looking assembly. The SpeedJaw Vise needed grease to function the speed ratchet. Otherwise, the ratchet speed release would not function. Grease, re-assembly, and patience are required for use. I wanted this to work out of the box and hoped for higher manufacturing standards. The jury is still out.

I don't typically write reviews, I guess it is true that people wont say anything unless they are unhappy. I didn't expect much for the price but I didn't get even that. The function is anything but smooth. The ratcheting handle ratchets only some of the time. The quick release feature functions but the lock doesn't fully engage so it cannot be tightened to hold work securely. I took it apart to see about correcting the fundamental problem of being able to hold work and found many signs of poor machining. My favorite was one of the allen head bolts used to hold the vise to the base wouldn't rotate. I found that one of the larger bolts used to limit overall travel had been machined into the mounting hole (the two holes intersect on one side). They must machine the larger bolts in after mounting the vise to the base because they cut half the head off the mounting bolt to get the limiting bolt in. This had the added "feature" of making it impossible to remove the mounting bolt on that side with the larger bolt still in place. Mind you, this was on one side only. I will end up with a fair amount of time into this to make it useful. I should have just bought a better vise.

Excelente producto!!!, muy buenas mejoras con relacion a los tornillos de banco tradicionales, me gusto mucho su funcionamiento y simplicidad

Es una muy buena prensa, el único inconveniente que le vi es que la cuerda donde va el tornillo para fijar la palanquilla estaba barrida y por ende no hace presión, fuera de eso es muy práctica y portable
