They seem to work perfectly well when you use them for the kind of thing they are DESIGNED to do.
The product description says, " This vise is designed with luthiers, woodcarvers and gunsmiths in mind." I don't recall reading anything about using it for bending pipe or hammering huge chunks of metal. Do that, and I'm sure you'll be unhappy and come back here to complain that the vise "just isn't up to snuff."
But then, I'm pretty sure if you buy a Honda SUV then try to use it to haul heavy equipment, you're also going to be disappointed in your purchase.
different mounting options of the jaws on the base. Also this vise can be mounted in a vertical position on a leg. Finally the wife liked the color and thought it complimented the other hardware on the bench :)
.
One of the best features is that the base is just a piece of 1-1/2" OD pipe on a flange and vise itself is simply a female socket. Tightening the jaw locks the vise onto the base shaft and holds it from swiveling. This is great, because there are two problems every man has in the shop: 1. You wish you had a vise in ten different places in the shop depending on how you have your work stations set up, and 2. you can't have ten different vises everywhere because the vise always seems to occupy the best work area you have on the work bench. It's in the doggone way when you don't need it to be there.
With this vise, you can make up your own mounts with 1.5" pipe and a flange. Put a mount wherever you use the vise. Then pick up the vise and go use it at the work station where you need it at the time. Now you can have ten vises and only pay for one.

Over a hundred years old design and still keeps helping woodworkers and machinist to do their job.
I don't recommend to risk damaging or cracking the frame, by using the built-in anvil.
somewhat delicate and fragile not for heavy usage
