I could not beLIEVE the price point on this vice. The quality BLOWS away the other unit I have seen that sells for about $130.. this is $199. not oNLY is the action smooth and it STAYS clamped when clamped but the anvil surface is much bigger and beefier. Also comes with a bracket that you can use to store in vehicle or as a bench vise (I am getting an extra bracket for $24... one for bench, one for vehicle.
Wilton makes American Made Vices and Hammers that are highest quality and not cheap. Many construction companies actually require Wilton hammers for elevated worksites where a broken hammer head can fall several stories and kill/injure someone. I am not a spokesman... just like the company as I have a 65 year old Wilton Vice that is still killer!
These ATV (All Terrain Vices) Vices are made per spec in China, but I was amazed at the build quality. There are stainless button head screws that you can adjust to tighten the receiver and so it does not move while you are hammering/fabricating.

Have a great week everyone!
