  • Just as advertised
Size: CR40A-4.5In
It was surprisingly well made. I thought for the price it would have been a bit more on the toy/hobyist side but this a proffesional tool. It is limited by size yes, but for the appropriate size projects is it excellent.

  • Nice vise for this price range but.....
Size: 6.5Inch
This is a very nice vise for this price range but many reviews said there were 1/4" bolts included but mine had no fasteners at all. Not a big deal though since I had 7/16 bolts I was going to use to mount it anyway. Comparing the materials and construction of this vise with the Harbor Freight vise (that I broke) showed the Forward brand vise is of much better quality .Fit, finish and tolerances are all very acceptable for this vise. With me making sure to use this vise as it was intended it should last me for many years. ... show more

  • Good oversized vise for medium duty stuff
Size: 6.5Inch
Firstly... I do like this vise! It is a 6.5 inch heavy beast. It is my first real bench vise as I've always made due with and ancient "Shopmate 85", an antique Craftsmen 2" clamp-on vise, assorted jigs or C-clamps. So my perspectives may be considered limited. I will say that the depth and width was what I was looking for and the slight provision for round stuff should be good too. Closing and opening was good, but not a precision smooth, as expected for this price range bench vise. Some wiggle and side to side play was to be expected and not excessive. There is the typical spring to take up the slop of the main screw and a drilled hole for the roll pin to hold the spring in place and I would have like to have a groove and big e-clip instead. That is a definite future weak point I would guess, as the video review from "Project Farm" pointed out. May vice was not well greased and required some generous smearing all over the threads and slide areas. It may not be as heavy duty as I would hope, but for the projects I have lined up, it will be strong enough. I'm not looking to beat on it with a 20lb. sledge or wrench 1/4 inch bar stock straight. The most obvious weakness is the base and I should have realized that 270 degree swing is going to be one of those wide smile grooved base. It has a single hold down bolt to ride that 270 degree sweep. Also, the square head of the bolt does not seat broadly in the groove, but more like dainty straddle. Only the 2mm edge does the grabbing of the groove when engaged. I think I can slightly improve the hold by making a special washer and it might cut the swing to 260, but should improve the hold? I will not try to tighten down that base lock tighter than "hand-tight" as I will very likely shorten the live of the edges of the groove or limited bite of the bolt. Quick Update: The hold down bolt slips easily when I have about 40 foot pounds of side force. I tried to hand tighten, as per instructions, to as hard tight as I could and the vise dose slip. I'll have to make that special washer sooner than I thought. ... show more

  • By far, the best vice for the price...
Size: CR80A-8In
A quality, substantial vise is an integral part of any home workshop - especially if one is going to work on items of any size (e.g. tractor and implement parts, automotive, home improvement projects, etc.). You need the real deal, not a makeshift or playtoy to just get by. And unless you're big enough commercially to justify going higher, you'd really appreciate a good price and have more money for something else. The CR-80A checks all of those boxes and more. I would highly recommend it to anyone. ... show more

  • The DIY vise to get!
Size: 6.5Inch
Did my research and this is the best bang for buck in a DIY vise for your garage or workshop. Came packed fully encased in styro in a robust undamaged box. Finish and operation are flawless. Has a nice looking greyish bluish powder coat finish that is very industrial looking. All advertised specs were right on except for the crossbar length. It is 9.5" instead of the stated 10.5". Jaws line up perfectly, and the open/close action is smooth on the greased screw spindle. Mounting mine on 1/4" steel plate over 1" plywood work bench surface with some 1/4" flat bar underneath the front bolts. Can't fit another full plate underneath due to bench design. This ductile iron vise should last me a lifetime. Very pleased. ... show more
