4" Swivel Vise with Anvil

broken on first use, just broke when I attempted to tighten. Just normal tension, nothing heavy, stay away from Central Forge vise in general

Vise is sturdy enough, but forged steel (replaceable) jaws can brake. Mine did and I am not faulting the vise for what I put it through, but getting the replacement part is a seemingly impossible task. Harbor freight advertising clearly shows that the vise has a renewable part (that if broken would render it unusable). However, they do not carry the part, so finding a solution to the problem is up to the purchaser. Customer support suggestions included searching the internet. So far no luck and many waisted hours. I think the recycle bin will be it's next home. Moral of this review is ......... be gentle with this vise because fixing it is a fruitless effort.

Brother liked it!

I bought this exact vise from Harbor Freight. This vise is absolute garbage. For $60, go to sears and buy a MUCH better vise for the same money. I was tightening down the barrel for an AR15 I was building. The jaw broke, down on the part where you turn the handle to tighten it down. I would not suggest this vise to anyone, I had the vise for 2 days. First time I used it, it breaks.
