The silver lining to the vacuum base issue is that the whole unit is so heavy (it's really solidly built) that I don't need the vacuum base for holding circuitry work, which actually makes working faster because I don't have to undo and redo the vacuum to rotate the vise.
This is a great vice. Unless you need to hold really heavy things using the vacuum feature, you won't be disappointed.
BESSEY VACUUM VICE COMMENT RECAP: pull base lever up to solidly seal rubberized suction bottom to ANY surface without damaging surface - the vice is on a quartz counter in the video. Lever down to release vice. Vice is lightweight for portability but don’t think it isn’t sturdy because it is, removable rubber grips on vice to work on fragile items while grips are removable for using without them on other objects. Wide girth opening along with great tight sealing when vice needs to be minimalized. I think I paid about $33.00 for vice. Extremely well made. My husband is very pleased with the many items he has been able to adjust with this vice and would recommend it to anyone.
Only annoying side is how it often detaches from my desk.

The vise itself is a little bit wiggly, and you need to screw a full turn before open/close.
They should have much much better tolerance.
The bottom is very ridgid and thus better than the top.
A good part is the 14mm hex-pin holding the top can be disasembled . Thus it is easy to change it.
So I have changed it to a Smallrig clamp, and it works perfect holding cylinders.
