Straight out of the box, this vice looked just what it is, a 'graded return', and as such I was willing to make a few allowances, but I did not have to; The only signs of its travels were a chip in the paint and a slightly bent swivel lever, nothing to worry about. After some fettling and greasing of the base swivel, I am very pleased with this vice, because its rotation and 'flip-over' jaws give it the ability to hold the workpiece at any convenient angle, very useful to any welder. Having said this, it should be kept in mind by potential users that this is not an anvil, or steel block to hammer on. Used within its capabilities, I expect mine to become more and more useful as time passes. All in all, a very useful piece of kit for any workshop.

The quality of the one I received is very poor. The interchangeable jaws are out by about 2 - 3mm from one side to the other, whether that's the casting or the jaws them selves who cares. They do clamp as they should and the vice is very handy in it can clamp different shapes of material in the 3 jaw types. If you're looking for a vice to be accurate then buy a more expensive one. But if you're like me and just want to hold something firm at different angles while you work on it then this works fine. Just be aware this is a budget vice and don't expect it to be highly accurate or of amazing build quality.

If you can afford to purchase something of a more professional quality then I'd not discourage you doing so. That said, this is a decent vice, there are a very few niggles with alignment on some of the less important features; such as the angle graduations are off centre, and the v-jaws don't quite line up, but it works well as it should. I wouldn't go back in time and change this purchase.

It is durable, flexible and caters for all types of projects, whether it is professional or domestic. I searched for a good vice online and in all shops and this one is the best, without a doubt!

Big and solid. For the money it's a good buy. You'll need a big solid bench, mine's fixed to a 250kg safe with studs The tolerances aren't perfect but they are definitely good enough A poor mans Swindens
