Get the precise angle for cutting, shaping, fabrication in a versatile, portable vise. Made of tough cast steel, this vise features dual jaws to grip a variety of materials firmly. Equipped with an anvil for shaping, this is a great swivel vise for the do-it-yourselfer to perform most home repairs from plumbing to shaping auto parts!

I would just like to say the normal price is $20 I believe. I was looking for a tiny vice and I saw this. The MSRP is not $60+
In-Store, my location had an extra 30% off all Purple Tag clearance merch so this was more like $13.98...which regardless of the Harbor Freight haters is an undeniably good deal. Thanks OP.
Normal price. The name brand product they are comparing it to is $63. This one was never $63.

Lots of one star reviews, mostly about questionable casting quality. May be OK for light work.

Very articulate vise, light duty. Great for holding pieces in many different positions.

Not suitable for hammering on the vise end or to crank it tight to clamp items straight.

Adequate strength for its size and articulation compared to any other brands. The articulation makes it less robust by nature.

Yup, HF vices are good for light work. I have a slide vice that I break out maybe once ever other year -- it's decent quality. But if you plan on using this a lot, you're probably going to want something better.

I own this and another light duty bench vice just wish it was this cheap when i bough it.
As long as people know thier limitations and limited uses they should hold up just fine.
People commonly don't think though.

I agree looks to be normal price and actually a few dollars more than the $17.99 coupon they would run frequently before they stopped the coupons.

Price Changes:
01/14/2022 - $0
08/06/2021 - $21.99
07/24/2021 - $17.99
10/02/2020 - $21.99
10/01/2020 - $34.99

I have this for a couple nof years and it is really okay. Use it for dremeling small stuffs. People really need to think what the limitations for this. If mime breaks will i buy again? Definitely. But for what this is intended for, i guess it will last me a lifetime.
