Customers are mixed about the sturdiness of the hardware clamp vise. Some mention that it's strong enough to hold the material and light enough to move where they need it, while others say that the jaws are made of low quality steel and have stripped slightly. The rubber jaw grips are too flimsy and fall off repeatedly. Some complain that the rotary part is hard to fully stabilize and that the suction base holds extremely well.

Works well for light applications

Works well for light applications
Bought this for my workbench for light duty work. It works well. The suction holds better if you position the vice at the edge of the workbench such that the lever that you rotate to engage the suction is not blocked by the workbench surface but extends away from the edge of the workbench so that when fully rotated it will end up lower than the workbench surface.. It took me a few tries to figure this out. The collar allows rotating and angling of the vise which is very handy. I have used this to hold fishing line spools for spooling fishing reels and it works fine- has not lost suction. Clearly not the same as the heavy duty vice I had bolted to my former house's workbench, but for light applications and being aware of my learning described above, should work fine.

3.0 out of 5 stars Another classic case of "You get what you pay for."
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2022
I purchased this product a little over a year ago. Although it hasn't been used frequently, it's been used enough to give an accurate review. I'll start with what I consider the positive attributes. The bench suction I find to be better than most. It will hold securely for a good amount of time with almost all the tasks I've done. The best hold is stuck to a smooth clean surface and a little water (spit) applied to the rubber suction diaphragm. The base will easily adjust to almost any position rotational or to any degree of angle. This is done with a compression ball inside the base and a course threaded compression collar that sometimes takes a little effort to unscrew depending on how tight you need to make it. The jaws are of decent width and come with easily removable plastic / rubber pads that melt at a very low temperature. Thus you really don't want to solder when using the soft jaw pads. The threaded rod that is used to move the jaws are made of low quality steel and have stripped slightly when tightened to the max. The square nut insert that the rod threads into, although likely not stripped, along with the threaded rod, is going to be replaced with custom machined replacements. I'll use a tighter thread pattern and that should take care of the sloppiness that the vice had since it was new. The bottom line is that it will do what it's supposed to do if you use it gently and don't mind a slightly loose movement. If you want to crank it up to "you ain't slipping in the jaws" tightness, you'll likely have similar results. I would give the design and construction an B, and the quality of the metal a C +. The initial cost of the vise was +/- $35 and I expect to pay another $30 - $40 to beef it up. For me, the cost of the upgrade will be a value because I don't think I could get the improved quality in the $65 - $70 range. Note: The picture shows the movable end of the jaw, the threaded rod and the square insert nut on the rod. If you look closely at the threads right up next to the shanked end you may see where the threads striped and slip. Hope this helps someone.
