About Yost Vises ADI-5, 5 Inch 130,000 PSI Austempered Ductile Iron Bench Vise
Overall Feedback:
85% positive
78% praised for its strong clamping force
I have never had any problems with the vice while holding everything from drive shafts to tooling fixtures.
84% liked the durable construction, though 16% experienced rust issues.
I have tested the strength and durability of the vice by using and abusing it for seven months.
I lost a star because the anvil got dented while hammering a bobby pin flat.
80% found it easy to use
This vice is easy to use with well-aligned jaws and no air gaps. It also swivels easily.
I adjusted the set screws once in seven months, which is acceptable.
75% liked the comfortable design
The company is working on a fix for the next batch of products, indicating a positive sentiment towards the ergonomics design of the bench-vise.
78% appreciated the high-quality quality, but 22% found some parts flimsy.
The vise's quality is excellent with casting and machining as good as my USA made Yost, as mentioned by the reviewer.
I chose this vise because it is made of ductile iron type over cast iron type of vise and also because on fireball tools youtube channel I tested this model along with many other brands and this thing proved to be well worth the money.
I dented the anvil while hammering a bobby pin flat, indicating that the material quality of the vice is not up to the mark.
