I don't see this model on the linked Warranty Details doc at all.

Edit: At a different retailer it said "1 Year Warranty"

For those wondering:
Country of Origin: Taiwan
Not as bad as China, but not the US made Yost of the past.

I ordered this vise for a total with shipping for $500.00 with coupon code. I hope this is not a scam. I looked up Eastwood after placing my order. I know I should have done it before I ordered. This feels scammy. Well hopefully my credit card will protect me if it is.

This might give you some peace. I can't speak to this item but I ordered from Eastwood back in January and received my item. It was for a yost 8ft cutting guide that was on a killer markdown. Others received theirs too, some didn't or got backordered but it was for a $100+ item marked down to $7.

Eastwood is a legit tools/supplies supplier. They are targeted on home garage / small garage and diy car restoration folks. Been around a while, pretty established track record. They do seem to occasionally clearance stuff out at very low prices. Just my experience. I've been on their email list for a long time.

I absolutely would not pay $1000 for a Yost. Watch local tool auctions, you'll find a nice Wilton or similar that are FAAAAR superior.

That being said $400 isn't a bad price.
