If you can't justify the price of a Kurt Vise based on the Precision of the Parts you're making this is the Vise you want to use.It comes perfectly wrapped to protect it in shipping. The vice comes clean, not soaked in any oil or cosmoline. The threaded Rod is greased.I suggest using different Hardware that came with the vice the hardware is poorly made.Hardware is my only gripe.The rest of the vice is perfect for my needs.
