STANLEY83-069M Maxsteel Multi-Angle Base Vise

I used it for several months and it works very well. What they should improve is placing the jaws with more grooves so that the elements to be clamped do not slip.Also the manufacturer could improve the product by adding other accessories and not only the rubber that is not of great quality.For the rest it is a very good idea when it comes to not so hard jobs.

Perfect movable vise. Like the rotating arm. Strong for a small vise.

Using this to make roughs from hard wood squares with a chisel for next step carving.Pro1. It is compact2. It grips enough to hold 2x2 and work on it with a sharp chisel.3. Very comfortable with essentially being able to hold wood at any angle.4. Decent price5. Rubber pads are quite noice.Con:1. There are obvious weak points which is the screw that immobilizes the ball bearing. This is the weakest point of system you have to tighten it really hard, and it makes me feel the threads of bolt will strip. The other weak point is the screw that holds the vise against the table - the cap on the screw is tiny and connection flimsy. I wish it was 3 times larger. So far I am concerned about these two points - lets see.2. The vise grips wabble on the guide rods when free, when the grip is tightened nothing wabbles.

I don’t dislike anything about this, too bad it’s made in China, you can see by the picture that it has paint issues in a certain area, but very flexible, comes with rubber pads over the steel jaws.

I have been looking for a small vice to keep on my tech desk for small repairs. I often need an extra pair of hands and this fits the bill. I bought it because it was cast aluminum and just the right size. Many similar small vises are poorly made and don't hold well. This vise stays put when you tighten down to your work area, yet is easy to remove and store when not needed. This unit has plastic jaw inserts and they hold extremely well. It is not intended for heavy duty use, so don't expect to clamp down a muffler and try to break a rusted 1/2" bolt. For those needs I have a 5 inch bench vise I can bend and beat on! At first the screw mechanism felt a little tight, but it has loosen nicely. I have made two wooden jaw inserts (just "L" shapes out of hardwood) for when I need to solder items -- easy to make and perform perfectly. The multi-angle adjustment works well and is very handy. All in all this is a great little vise and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a light duty vise they can adjust to any angle. Great design.

This vice is better than I had hoped. For its size, it is strong and versatile. The only improvement might be that it was twice as large and had acme threads, but then, it would cost seven times as much. I'll be buying another one.

This is a great light duty vice that works well for my guitar builds. It holds everything where I want it to be held and keeps things firmly in place. My only gripe is that I can't mount the base of this vice flat to the bench, but I'm not going to knock the rating for this as it's just a personal preference. This vice clamps to the side of my bench firmly and doesn't slip at all. The rubber jaw grips are a nice touch.Yeah, it's simply not designed for the high torque jobs - that's what the big wiltons are for. If you have hands made of ham and clamp something in this and apply a huge breaker bar to the job, then of course you're going to break it. I don't plan on being this daft and fully expect this little vice to last a long time.

Many have stated that this is not a heavy duty vise, very true. It is not designed as a heavy duty bench vise, rather it is a very versatile, light weight tool.I accessed Amazon today to look at purchasing a second vise, not because anything had gone wrong with the original I purchased two years ago, but to have an extra one around the house and work bench since it is so handy.For example, today I used it to repair a USB connector that was bent. I put two USB connectors in side by side and straightened the one with using the second one as a reference. I was able to easily position the vise at a very comfortable angle, and quickly accomplish the repair. That is a single, small example. Fine work, minor repairs, light sanding, soldering, electrical connections, grinding and so forth are easily accomplished. The best feature is you can adjust three axes of motion to optimize your work. Not only does this help with reach, but lighting, and work height. It is also and excellent tool for handicrafts and the hobbyist.Highly recommnded

Prensa portátil de acero mejor que de aluminio .El tornillo para fijar la herramienta a un tablero parece ser la parte más débil ,

When I bought it I was worried that it would slip at the ball joint if you pulled hard or not. I was surprised how sturdy it was for the size of it. I used to have a large vise permanently mounted that took up space on the work bench. This is a removable vice so when you are finished with it you can put it away until the next use. Very happy with the purchase. Would even buy a second one.

construido en acero, muy, muy útil.Viene con unas mordazas removibles de plástico para sujetar algo delicado, si de va a aplicar calor o sujetar algo acerado que requiera fuete apriete, será mejor retirarlas, es fácil de hacer.Lo sujetado se puede posesionar en infinitas posiciones, no he visto otro tan bien construido y practico, eso si, este deberá de ser tu segunda prensa, porque para los trabajos pesados, la tradicional es insustituible por su robustez, esta no lo es tanto así, particularmente por la forma de sujetarse a la mesa, asunto que no ofrece la misma capacidad de anclaje y si le aplicas demasiada fuerza es posible desmontarla sin desearlo de la mesa.

Use it all the time. Had it about 3 years.

Muy practico para su tamaño.
