Customer Reviews for 6'' Bench Vise 60lbs Light Duty Kn29 360 Swivel Multipurpose Clamping Vise

This vice was easy to install on my workshop table. The vice is really well made and heavy duty. I really like that it is attached to a swivel base and I can adapt it for various projects. The jaws are removable and can be replaced for specific needs. Overall this is a great investment.

I've been coveting a large bench vise for decades, so I was excited when this came up as an item to review. The bench out in the garage already has holes drilled by the previous owners, but the sons of guns took their vise!I wanted to do a typical photo shoot setup for my review pic, but the thing comes covered in machine oil, which is great for shipping in wet weather and storing indefinitely, but for my picture I was too lazy to take it out and clean it up.It's a substantial hunk of metal that appears to have been made into a nice vise that I look forward to using soon. Vises are universally expensive, and this one is well within what I'd expect to spend on a vise this size.

I was surprised that the quality of this one was better than the Northern tool vice I had brought ( and broke) previously. The machining was excellent and the iron itself has proved to be very strong. Overall im very happy with it!

Very Solid first impression, I just wish they could have avoided a minor annoyance (we'll get to that)Vise is robust and larger than I expected. Will it hold up under hard use, over the test of time? I have no way of knowing that at this point, and I will not torture test the vise and destroy it for good of the community, so if you're looking for that, go to Ytube where there are plenty of vids of that sort to satisfy the most destructive of wants.It comes with magnetic soft jaws, which work as intended and are easy to remove and replace. The jaws themselves are held in with bolts and are also replaceable. The tightening mechanism works smoothly and without grit, as does the pivot mechanism. It's not a 300-dollar vise, but it does well, and will undoubtedly satisfy most DIY'ers needs. Extreme-Duty vises will generally need extreme dollars.My only complaint is the length of the mounting bolts. Once inserted through the vise, only 1.25" of threads stick through. Most countertops (at least the ones around here) are 1.25", so mounting the vise to a standard thickness countertop is not happening with the included bolts. A minor annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless.All in all, first inspection shows a solid offering.For what it is, what it does, and what it costs: Five StarsI am the Totally Unbiased Reviewer Dude (T.U.R.D.) and that is how I see it.

It comes with a mounting diagram for precise installation and the necessary hardware (nuts/bolts). The Vice comes oiled. It's heavy duty! I saw this and it reminded me of my Dad's Vice on his workbench but this is about 2x the size of that one and it swivels 360 degrees! It you have a workbench or are building one out this is a must have item! It's impressive. It has 2 locks (one on each side) to hold it in place. The jaw pads will be useful and I wish I'd had this in the past. The anvil part of the vice is a generous size. This is an excellent find! I highly recommend this product for the non-professional that needs something solid on your workbench or mobile workbench. I wouldn't use it to crush something. It's for holding in place and doing something else so your hands can be free! This is not a heavy duty vice and I wouldn't use it as such but it's a excellent value for the price for what I need.

No assembly required; just needs to be mounted to workbench. Comes with mounting bolts. Took maybe 5 minutes to install, including drilling holes in workbench.Comes with plastic-covered magnetic vice faces that make it easy to handle all kinds of material.Swivels very easily to any angle.Very heavy and solid! Feels like a quality casting with no cheap parts.The box arrived looking as if it had traveled through a disaster zone, but the vice itself was undamaged.

This is a great vise for any small to medium project you may have. It's VERY well made and sturdy, secures very nicely to your workbench and once it's on there, it stays put. It really helps you measure and cut a lot easier...but it's got quite a few other uses too. It is a plus that the opening is fairly wide so it's versatile enough to use for larger projects too.Overall, we are really pleased with this. It's a great value for the money - you really cannot go wrong with it. I highly recommend it!!

This is a medium sized vice and is pretty heavy. The shipping box was bit tore up, but the vice was still perfect. It comes on a base that bolts onto your work surface with the included bolts and paper template. The vice is able to swivel on the base, but you can lock the base so it doesn't swivel as well. Opening the vice is smooth with the rotating handle. It also includes two hard rubber pads for the jaws to help secure and protect whatever your clamping. Very handy tool for the DIYer.

“VEVOR Bench Vise, 6-inch Jaw Width 5.9-inch Jaw Opening, 360-Degree Swivel Locking Base Multipurpose Vise w/ Anvil, Heavy Duty Ductile Iron Workbench Vise w/ Bolts & Nuts, for Drilling, Pipe Cutting”I ordered this bench vise with the notion that I could use it to replace my Craftsman 6-inch bench vise that I bought back in 1985.The Craftsman vise has served me very well while being bolted to my gigantic work bench - automobile repairs, various construction projects, plumbing projects - you name it.It’s definitely taken a beating, but it always did its job very well of securely clamping every object I’ve worked on, allowing me to hammer and bend all types of steel into submission, and enabling me to super-squeeze various materials while brute-forcing them into different shapes and sizes.My first impression of this new VEVOR vise was how much smaller it is than my old Craftsman vise. I measured almost every portion of each vise to compare, and the measurements confirm that this new vise is smaller in every possible way, except for the width of the jaws being 6 inches for both vises.I didn’t get out my scale to compare exactly how much each vise weighs, but this new vise is definitely much lighter when lifted.All of these comparisons lead me to the conclusion that the VEVOR vise probably isn’t going to work out for my purposes. I just don’t see how its smaller and thinner gauge metal will be able to withstand the forces necessary to assist me in all of my projects.It’s definitely for light to moderate jobs, and it doesn’t really make sense for me to bolt an additional vise to my bench just for light work.Don’t get me wrong, this vise seems well made and it operates very well. Also, the magnetized jaw pads are a nice addition, and they could really come in handy when clamping items that you don’t want to leave serrated teeth marks squeezed into the material.If you don’t need a heavy duty vise for demanding projects, this vise will probably work out very well. I’m s

This replaces a 'tired' ancient and slightly smaller bench vise I acquired in a farm sale several years ago. Because it has all the features I wanted, I have no reservations in recommending it. It is a bit bigger and has better jaws than the older one. It also comes complete with the mounting bolts.
