Its a great vise for the money. Pretty rigid and everything moves freely. It is literally like the big kurt vises we use at work. Packaging was ok, but vise arrived safely to me. One thing the manufacturer needs to look at is to remove the razor blade edges on vise jaws, but not a deal breaker, just takes you by surprise when you grab a hold of the vise. Other then that, its great for the money.
