Description

The Yost Vises 855-D2 Industrial Grade Reversible Vise is designed for mechanics that need a vise with large jaw opening capabilities. This updated design of our reversible vise is now stronger than ever! Built from 60, 000 PSI ductile iron, this vise is 2x stronger than competitor models. A redesigned nut and screw allow for increased clamping force. For unmatched versatility this vise features a reversible main jaw. When the front jaw is reversed, the jaw capacity is increased to a phenomenal 9-3/4". 5. 5" Serrated Jaws are designed to grip products securely. The two machined anvils provide a smooth work surface for forming or shaping. The 360 degree swivel base allows the vise to be rotated to any position for easy operation. The base features two lockdowns that will prevent the vise from rotating once the lockdowns have been tightened. The base also features four mounting tabs to secure the vise to the workbench (mounting hardware not included). Built to Yost Vises Specifications, made in China.

  • Heavy and durable

  • Great bang for the buck
Size: 5.5"
I've been a Wilton guy for over 50 years and have three vises that date back to the Schiller Park era including a 4S bullet from the late 50s. HOWEVER, this Yost vise fit the criteria wonderfully that I had set for the purchase. It fit perfectly in the desired location with a hole pattern and footprint within the mounting constraints. It is made from ductile iron instead of the more brittle cast iron. It is 65,000 PSI ductile iron throughout vs. others that are part 60,000 and part 30,000 or all 30,000. Removable pipe jaws. Great fit and finish. A customer service department where I could talk to an owner whose name is the same as on the vise. This was an easy decision! Besides, I'd do almost anything to not have to deal with customer service at JPW. As a follow up to my initial review, I've purchased an accessory directly from Yost and the shipment was lost by USPS. Yost customer service helped track the shipment and when that was unsuccessful they shipped a duplicate order out without question using a different carrier. GREAT JOB YOST! After using the vise now for a few months I became curious how the removable/replaceable pipe jaws come out. They are simply held in place with engineered spring clips behind the jaw which do not hinder operations in any way. This is a far better solution than those reversible vises with permanent cast pipe jaws. ... show more

  • QC could use improvement, but still a great value
Size: 5.5"
As a serial vise abuser, I have destroyed probably a half dozen cheap vises from Harbor Freight and various other Chinese manufacturers. I'm mercilessly abuse my vices, using them as makeshift shop presses, sheet metal brakes, anvils, and just generally to hold parts while I beat on the parts full swing with a sledgehammer. I stepped up from the four and five inch Chinese vices to this reversible vise, and I've been very happy with my purchase. More times than I care to remember, a normal vise simply won't open wide enough to hold some of my bigger work pieces. So far, that is not been an issue with this vise! In fact, the throat opening is so big on this one that I haven't even had to reverse it yet! Overall, the finish is very nice and the vise seems very well made. It feels very sturdy, and the swivel plate seems to be splined which helps keep the vise from unwanted rotation when it is locked down. As far as compliance go, they are fairly minor. The same splining in the rotating turret that holds It rock steady when clamped down also makes it so you have to loosen it significantly before you're able to rotate the vise. This isn't a big deal, but when you're making a lot of small adjustments, it ends up being a lot of extra movement of the set screws. Generally speaking, the set screws on both sides need to be loosened three half-turns before the vise will consistently rotate. It's a minor inconvenience, but it's a fair trade-off for the ability to lock it in and keep it from unwanted rotation. My next minor complaint is in regards to the anvil surfaces of the vise. This is nice and that it has two anvil surfaces, one in the back where most vices have one, but also a secondary anvil on the top of the stationary jaw. Because of the above mentioned splining making rotation of the vise a little slower, this causes one to use the secondary anvil on the top as more of the primary anvil. Additionally, if you do rotate the vise to use the primary back anvil, be advised that the reversible jaw design makes it so one of the replaceable serrated jaw inserts is right above part of this anvil. As a result, you have a bit of an obstructed swing with a hammer when using this anvil service, so I tend to simply not use it at all and use the top anvil almost exclusively. Again, not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of. The last issue I have is really the most significant, and it is the most easily corrected issue. Since this vise is made in china, which is how they're able to bring it to you at such an affordable price, it is plagued by the number one issue with Chinese made goods: inconsistent quality control. In my case, this bad QC reared it's ugly head in the form of one of the primary Jaws being machined crooked where the serrated jaw insert attaches. Again, not a deal breaker, but it just sucks to get advice and bolt it down, only to realize after using it (and thus making it non-returnable) that one of the jaws is machined crooked by about 10°, and the serrated jaw inserts don't line up because of it. This gets to be a little bit more than annoying if you're like me and use the jaws of the vise as a makeshift sheet metal break- it makes it difficult to get a clean band when the Jaws don't line up like this. All In all, a great value for the money, extremely sturdy, incredibly versatile, and advice that I would recommend. Just go over it with a fine-tooth comb when you unbox it, and keep an eye out for any QC issues that may have slipped past. ... show more

  • Great Vise, no issues and is sturdy!
Size: 5.5"
This Vise by Yost is just what i was looking for. It is solid and sturdy. It is built well and if mounted correctly and used properly should last many years! It operates smoothly in and out and and will rotate as needed. The jaws can be removed and flipped to utilize the smooth side if needed. I mounted to my work bench on a plate of steel and also used plates of steel under the bench to keep it even more sturdy so as to not ream out the holes in the wood bench top from use. I am very please with my purchase and this Vise. Money well spent.. ... show more

  • Yost 855-D2 5-1/2" Reversible Bench Vise
Size: 5.5"
I am very happy with the Yost 855 D2 I purchased. This vise is stout, the castings are impressive, smooth & clean. The tolerances are very good, and the jaw has very little side to side movement. This bench vise has a six inch jaw opening, and a monstrous nine and three quarter inches when reversed. I like the ability to remove the pipe jaws something most vises do not offer being cast in. The main screw is under the slide so it's protected from debris. This vise has two anvils and three reversible jaws with serrated and smooth surfaces. I had a few questions before making this purchase and was unable to find answers online so I had to contact Yost Vises via Email on their website. They replied very quickly with all the information I had requested and even sent some pictures along for clarification, so I can say from experience that Yost Vises has great customer service as well as a great product. If you are looking for your first bench vise or want to upgrade your current bench vise you really can't go wrong with the Yost 855 D2. You can certainly spend a lot more and receive a lot less in features and functionality. ... show more

  • Amazing vise
Size: 6.5"
This is a big vise with big features. The base is robust and the locks are positive and hold the vise very well. The big selling point on this vise is the reversible jaws. These are easily big enough to use as a U-joint press and for holding extra large items. Plenty of room to put on soft jaws, very nice anvil with plenty of power. Nice action, even better after lubing the screw. I'd like to see a nice brass sleeve bushing on the screw end, but the machining is nice. ... show more
