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

For its size, it is good that the jaw width is 4.5” and the opening can accommodate 3.3”. One advantage is that it swivels making it easier to use. For less than $40 this is a good prize and a good buy.

Although the directions are somewhat humorous due to translation, this is a great vise. In US units, the width of the jaws is 4.5", the maximum opening is less than 3.5", and the maximum torque is greater than 1500 ft-lbs. It weights about 11 lbs. and the bolts furnished are good for a bench about 3/4" thick. If your bench is thicker, the bolts are 25/64". The vise rotates 240 deg so you will have to plan ahead before you bolt it to your bench. The only possible drawback is that it may be a little small for some projects but you will have to be the judge of that beforehand.

A lot nicer than I was expecting for $35! This vise feels heavy duty, clamps move in and out smoothly, swivel base works well. Clamps stay tight, tolerances on the unit are nice and everything moves around easily. The paint job looks nice and the build quality looks excellent. Far better than other vises in this price range! The vise works great for me beating axles apart, pressing small bearings, other various heavy duty work, the vise feels solid so far. Also has a miniature anvil on the side, comes in handy to pound on little things, straighten or flatten metal etc.Great quality and unbeatable price! This is a good vise, a much needed tool for any shop!

I have a vice similar to this, but it is very old and starting wear a bit so I thought I'd try this one. This vice looks and feels solid. The grip plates are 4.5 inches wide. The anvil on the back is about 2 inches by 1.75 inches. The spread when fully extended is about 4.25 inches. The teeth that hold a bar below the grip plates could be a little bigger as they are just under an inch tall. But overall look, feel, and operability of the vice seems good. I also really liked the fact that they included 4 bolts with nuts to secure the vice to my workbench. However, the bolts only extend past the bottom of the vice by about 1.5 inches. I would have preferred two inches just to make it easy to attach to a 2 inch board.

The castings seem sturdy. It is a small vise, make sure its sized for your needs. The only possible weak point might be where the tightening screw goes through the front jaw, seems little loose, but the stabilizing bar at bottom that slides along with jaw is good fit and keeps jaw steady.

this is a very well made vice. it does everything that I want it to and then some. I look forward to using this for years to come

This is a very heavy duty and functional vice. It rotates 360 degrees horizontally and vertically. It looks great mounted to my workbench in my shop.

We normally buy Wilton and a Wilton will either break the first month or last for about 3 years. This one is holding up well.

Vise is great. I've never had one that is as versatile as this one. Has stood up to the test so far.

Love everything about this vice. The precice movements, swivel base, rotating multi material jaws. For me, this is a great improvement to my shop and see it as not only a tool, but as my Getter Done Buddy.
