 Sturdy, versatile - well worth the priceMar 06, 2011
By arielCo
It's VERY solid. It seems to be made of cast aluminium except for the screws, guide rods and shaft which are plated steel. The head opens to 2.5" max (the screw will only have 1-2 threads engaged), and it comes with smooth nylon jaws but there are several types available. There are several heads and bases that can be interchanged for different needs. The rubber base holds very strongly and the manufacturer sells a spare rubber shoe and lever as a kit. As you can see in the pictures I took, the base can be fully disassembled.
Mind you, this is not the kind of vise you'll find bolted to a metalworking bench, but it is a much stronger alternative to "helping hands". In all, it's superb for everything from soldering and small crafts to light drilling.

best for my purposesApr 16, 2011
By Jeffrey Osborn
Needed a portable vise for wooden ship building. Good add-ons also. Also, hefty enough that for lightweight items you don't even need to make it adhere to anything. I was reassured when I saw that you can get a replacement suction apparatus.
Great Vise for modeler's w/o space.

It sticks like you wouldn't believeNov 08, 2011

I use this on my desk to hold the Panavise circuit board holder and it is virtually unmovable once you have it suctioned down to the desk.
It's a little tricky to get it to suction down until you get used to it then it works great.

Love this baseJul 25, 2011
By JAMES
In my current setup I am not able to permanently mount a base. The Vacuum base works great in this situation. My table is a painted wood with a very smooth surface. On this structure the base is rock solid without causing any damage to the paint's finish. In the past I have tried to use this same base on plastic table tops but could not. The texture of that style table top would not allow a good suction.
Currently, I use this base in conjuction with a PanaVise 315 Circuit Board Holder. Love my setup.
 Almost perfect!May 11, 2012

Bought this suction vise due its mobility. Of course one day i will buy the real bench vise. I love building AR, it holds my stripped lowers perfectly BUT suction will comes loose eventually which i have to readjust.
Overall i'm kinda happy with my purchase.
