About Wilton 550P Multi-Purpose Bench Vise, 5-1/2" Jaw Width, 5" Jaw Opening
Overall Feedback:
85% positive
82% liked the durable construction, though 18% experienced rust issues.
I expected better match up of castings for the price of the vise.
My vice's main handle is bent and not easy to fix.
I removed a star because the finish between the base and vise was already chipping when I disassembled it to mount to my workbench.
The anvil portion is rusted and used, one of the knobs to tighten positions is completely bent and useless, and the bottom structure was broken off its axis. This indicates poor durability of the product.

80% liked the comfortable design, though 20% found it awkward to operate.
I am dissatisfied with the ergonomics design of the bench-vise, particularly the swivel base that has two locking levers, which require several turns to rotate the vise.
84% appreciated the high-quality quality, but 16% found some parts flimsy.
The jaws of our vise are made of high quality material and perfectly square.
The vice weighs 40 pounds and is made of sturdy material.
The jaws are parallel and controlled by the crank, indicating high quality material.
I have noticed that the bench vise material quality is poor and prone to damage from pounding.
