Wow! This vice is a stud! A bit more than I was expecting our needing actually, but no way am I sending it back. Love it! I should have purchased this a long time ago. Bolted it to my work bench and it works great.
haven't put it through any serious clamping tests yet, but I think it should pass. it did have a missing tooth in the casting out of the box, I didn't think it was worth trying to do anything about.
