Stanley 183065 MaxSteel Light-Duty Vice 100mm 4 -inch

As described and works fine for my tpye of home use..... ....I use it for odd jobs, mainly working on kids toys / bike and motorcycles as opposed to trying to clamp half a ton of wood, which judging by other reviews it is not so good for. It's a decent size for the kind of work I do with it, and seems to lock on position quite well, I am very happy with it, I suspect if you want to hold planks of wood in place whilst you chop them up a non-swivel type may be better, but for day-to-day tasks it seems very good.

As someone kitting out a bike shop it was important to have a vice however money was important so I wanted a good quality vice that didn't break the bank and this provided..... HOWEVER the locking pin on the right to stop it rotating didn't work very well and under a reasonable load would often allow the vice to move. I did end up removing this and drilling a bolt through the work bench to make it more stable as funnily enough I didn't need it to rotate as much as I thought I would (if I had a do-over I would purchase a solid vice) If you need a rotating vice for light work this is great I work on bikes and use a lot of rotational force on this therefore it isn't secure enough for my needs. The vice itself is well build robust and sturdy. Its got a nice weight too it and good mounting points.

After using it for the first time I think the vice is well designed save for the awkward turntable locking long bar handle nut. A knurled nut would be more convenient. The 17mm hex nut securing the turntable to the vice was loose, not a big issue to tighten it up but a self locking nut here would be a design improvement.

My first vice, cheap and cheerful. Works like any other vice with good grip strength, etc for its compact size. Perfect for smaller DIY projects and acts as a 2nd pair of hands when your working by yourself.

Brilliant product love that you can turn it around on its own turn table, very robust, nice looking vice, good grip, easy to use and definitely value for money, would recommend 😀

I don't think for the price I paid (£29 at the time of writing) you can't go too far wrong with this bench vice Obviously it'll never be as good as a heavy duty vice from Record etc but these cost many many times the price. I use this in my garage for working on cars and I sometimes have a requirement to clamp a component in a vice while I work on it, and 4" is big enough capacity for holding most items I could think to use it for. Worth noting that it doesn't come with any mounting hardware. I drilled 4x 8mm holes in my bench and used some M8x45mm bolts and nuts that I already had spare which holds it down perfectly (obviously the depth of the bolts will vary depending on the surface you are mounting to, but I think M8 is a good size).

Nice little vice, handy for small to medium projects, bolted mine to a kitchen worktop. Only thing I did add was a pair of jaw guards.

After building myself a shed with work bench etc for light work and bicycle maintenance, having a Vice for holding components & projects is a pretty critical bit of kit. Upon arrival I was a little surprised at the small size of the vice, especially compared to my dad's 100 year old blacksmith grade vice etc But after anchoring it to my workbench despite its size its a brilliant bit of kit it holds firm and the ability to rotate it so it's out of the way / at a good angle is a great idea. Only issue I found at first was the rotation consisted of a couple of degrees, not much use but after flipping it over and seeing the C shaped track underneath I realised it should rotate much further & I decided to apply some grease & wiggle it (a little force required at time) then it all worked perfectly, now its anchored to my worktop and can rotate freely when needed. Overall happy with my purchase but definitely make sure you anchor it to something & if it isn't rotating, grease it up well and ensure its running smoothly before anchoring. Note: this is a lighter vice overall, so If your looking to bash things with lump/sledge hammers you'll certainly want something bigger.

Ottimo prodotto, per un uso non professionale (fai da te) risulta essere perfetta! Robusta e affidabile, buone possibilità di fissaggio e regolazione
