Table Vise 3 Inch, Universal Vise Bench Clamp, Army Green

Found this clamp vise while I was looking for a small replacement for a small vise I have been using that just didn’t have the holding ability I was needing. Figured I would give this one a shot. It isn’t very expensive so I wasn’t expecting much, however, when it arrived I was surprised at how beefy this thing was. The first few things I noticed was the finish on this vise was way better than some of the other cheap ones I have came across, but on the listing they had this posted as (army green), which it is not an army green. It is just a green. Army green to me is more drab and muted greens, variants of olives and field greens. Not a deal breaker, but don’t expect it to be a cooler green. The other thing I noticed and was very impressed by was the jaws on this. These jaws close up perfectly and mirror match as they come together. No offsided alignment at all. Beautifully comes together and looks like one piece of metal. That is very unusual for low cost vises. And to top it off, it also has removable jaws. Also unusual for cheaper vises. They packed a lot of features into this beefy little clamp vise, including the ability to swivel the head. Comes with protective pads that attach to the clamp so you don’t have to mark up and dent your bench or work desk. Also included are the protective pads that slip on the jaws so you can soft clamp items without damaging them. One thing I did take note of was the locking lever for the swivel head is a bit hard to get it to lock in tightly, so you may want to make yourself a small breaker bar to really get it to lock down more secure. As for the clamping screw that tightens down the complete unit to your bench, it is very secure feeling. It really bites down hard without feeling like it wants to move around. It would have been even better if they would have added a couple small pre drilled mounts that would also allow us to screw or bolt this down, but it holds very well without them. I gotta admit here that this feels smooth strait out of the box, but I stripped mine apart, cleaned, oiled and greased, then reassembled it all so I know that it is to my liking. Listen people, this isn’t a Wilton vise. Don’t expect it to be a professional quality high dollar tool. I think if you look at the price of this, and recognize it’s limitations, you might be very surprised at just how nice this beefy little vise actually is. Will this vise hold up through the years? Who knows. Only time will tell. I would bet if you treat it with common sense, and not try to hammer out steel rod with a hand sledge on it, then it might just last you for a long time. I will include some reference pics for finish and size. I hope this helps some of you out looking for a small vise to work on your small projects.

Quality and price. Prefect size for what’s I need. General work at my garage.

Bought this to replace golf grips. It is made of sturdy material and the clamp works great for the price. You can mount it with out drilling it into place and can remove when done. You can rotate the vise in any direction for your needs

Great value! Heavy duty and solid. Makes the perfect “3rd” hand for doing projects. I bought this vise to help in installing golf grips and it filled the bill. The swivel base allowed me to angle the club over a paint roller pan to catch the overflow of solvent and allowed me to use two hands to force the grip into place. Should have done this years ago.

Good quality vise for your money. Built a small workbench in the basement and I'm limited for space. Clamps on quick and easy.

the "anvil" is a joke, hollow underneath.. broke right through with a couple hammer taps. i guess i shouldn't be surprised, you get what you pay for...

This small vise was a perfect addition to my ham radio work bench. It's sturdy without being too bulky, and it gives me a stable base for crimping or soldering medium sized (10-24 AWG) wiring harnesses. I don't know how I got by without it for years.

J have used it for several projects and it has been absolutely wonderful. It's soldi and no slips , not creaks , just great value.
