LOOKING AT THE BROKEN METAL PARTS, IT IS PURE POT METAL (FOR A VISE.).Find a used one at a garage sale. Thats what I ended up doing since Wilton wouldnt honor their warranty.There is a reason LOWES stopped carrying these chinese Wiltons in 2009. I cranked it a bit more, and then suddenly, the handle was turning EASY. Instead, I looked down to seee the rear jaw cracked off with the rear half of the vise. Even the heaviest chinese made vise will break. Third time I used it, the entire rear of the vise cracked off.
The handle was all the way tight. I thought I stripped the nut. The metal is garbage. And dont think for a second that MASS will make up for a craptastic chinese made vise. I was tightening a car part. SHAME ON WILTON FOR PUTTING THEOR NAME ON CHINESE JUNK.
THEY ALL CAME BACK BROKEN.STEER CLEAR AND BE SURE IT HAS 'MADE IN USA' CAST INTO THE BODY. Might as well waste your money at Harbor Freight than to buy this one.
I KNOW THE VISE PURCHASED WAS NOT TOP OF THE LINE. YOUR NAME HAS ALWAYS STOOD FOR GOOD OLD AMERICAN PRODUCTS AND I AM SORELY DISSAPPOINTED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VISE BUT SHAME ON YOU WILTON FOR PUTTING YOUR NAME ON ANOTHER CHINESE PIECE OF JUNK.
great vice well made except base did not set level thought would pull into bench but still sat high on one side took 7" grinder over it remounted works great would recomend to any one who needs a good vice for the money
When I began taking on projects that required size, stability, and accuracy, I ordered the 6" Wilton Vice. Wilton also backs their products very well. This vice is large enough to hold a muzzleloader's with or without the barrel and strong and stable enough to allow very delicate work on it. It is extremely heavy, which is a big plus in this case.I highly recommend it.
I have had this a couple months now and like it but I wish I had gotten a swing jaw and a pipe grip.so live and learn.its well built and priced well so if it fits your needs then order.but learn from my mistake and consider all your uses
