About Yost 5" Heavy-Duty Bench Vise, Double Swivel Rotating Vise
Overall Feedback:
87% positive
88% praised for its strong clamping force, while 12% found it lacking.
I find this vise versatile as it can clamp pipe with its swiveling feature on the base and clamp part.
I have not faced any problems so far with the two clamping screws securely holding the vise.
The only issue I have with the vise is with the swivel mount on the bottom.
89% liked the durable construction, though 11% experienced rust issues.
I found the vice to be durable and always performed as expected.
I applied just over 180 ft.lb. of torque to remove a stubborn bolt and the vise did not move. The bench moved, but the vise did not.
I received the vice damaged despite its sturdiness.
The blue finish of the vise is spray paint type and it is already patchy and flaking off, indicating poor durability.
86% found it easy to use
The vice is strong, adjustable, has smooth movement, and mounts easily.
The movement is very smooth and the base lockdowns are solid, indicating that it is easy to use.
83% liked the comfortable design, though 17% found it awkward to operate.
The swivel mount on the bottom of the vise catches and does not move fluidly as I would like.
I am dissatisfied with the swivel base of the vise. The design should be okay but the casting for the locking disc is horrible, causing the bolts to rack and bind as the base rotates.
89% appreciated the high-quality quality, but 11% found some parts flimsy.
The product quality is terrible and it looks nothing like what I expected. The jaws are not straight due to casting issues, finish and texture differ from pictures and reviews, screws for bottom pipe jaws are nearly stripped, and the logo is casted in instead of a plated logo.
