FasmovSwivel 3" Universal Table Vise Tilts Rotate 360° Universal Work, Table Vice Portable for Workbench, Home, Drilling, Woodworking, and More, Green

This came in a box that is all in German, and has a solid build to it that is consistent with what I would expect out of a German-made item. It is good-sized and does everything as listed and shown in the listing photos. There weren't any directions in the box, but if you are a DIY kind of person, it shouldn't be hard for you to figure it out. I would grade it a medium level bench vice, definitely WAY above those 'toy' vices made in China that are small as the palm of your hand and pretty flimsy. For most 'not-large or really heavy' DIY projects, I think it would be fine, and for the price you can't beat it. It's a Prime item and mine came overnight, with a $25 total purchase.Update: I have used the vice several times now. I saw some of the recent critical reviews over the last 6 months about falling apart, poor craftmanship, junk, made in China etc. I just don't see it. This is a great product and everything about it is strong and firm and easily manipulates to any sort of tile or position you want and tightens down with no issues. And no way is this made in China. I think maybe some people just want to say bad things because they can or they have other motivations. This is supported by the fact of the majority of the reviews being stellar. I would ignore the odd pennies. BTW, if it arrives looking like they sent you a used or returned one, don't whine about it, send it back for a free replacement, it's a Prime item!

For $18.00 this vise is an absolute bargain! I do soldering at my computer desk and this vise is unbelievable! Removable soft jaw covers and the ability to pivot makes this vise great for holding circuit boards while soldering. I was expecting a light weight vise but i'm blown away at the quality! For my purposes this vise should last a lifetime!

I received this vise to use on the boat for holding tackle parts and hooks for sharpening. On the workbench it easily attaches with the provided clamp. I find it really useful for holing small gun and reel parts when I work on them. This is not a heavy duty vise but is perfect for working on more delicate parts and has become an invaluable third hand for my work.

Considering that alternatives to this hobbyist vise can easily cost twice as much (or more) this is an outstanding value. I purchased this to build an Artesania Latina, S.A. wooden ship model kit. The hull planking steps in particular required that the model be held solidly and securely at all manner of different orientations. The Fasmov table vise performed that vital function extremely well. It's done everything I've asked it to do and the fact that it cost less than $20 (at the time of this product review) makes it an outstanding value.This isn't a heavy duty bench vise; certainly nothing you'd want to use for significant woodworking. But it's no fragile toy either. Whenever I take a chance on a budget alternative, I'm always worried I'll end up with some poor imitation that isn't up to the task. For model building at least, this thing was rock solid. The castings aren't finish level quality, but they're by no means rough either. I cannot vouch for the quality of the metal itself. But there's enough of it in critical spots that I've seen or felt absolutely nothing to concern me about cracking or flexing when I crank down on the main jaws, the table clamping mechanism or the ball swivel mount. Everything locks down nice and tight.I'd have to think that anyone less than pleased with this product either has unrealistic expectations at this price point, or has attempted to use it for heavier duty tasks than it's designed for. I've made my fair share of mistakes spending too little on a tool that ultimately disappoints. Not so with the Fasmov Swivel 3" Universal Table Vise. It's a great addition to any model maker's workbench.Normally I don't give even those products that I like more than 4 out of 5 stars. Few products are perfect including this one (it includes soft plastic inserts on the jaws and the top of the table clamp, but not on the bottom of it, so it may mar the underside of your table/workbench). But considering what you're getting for less than $20, this vise is a terrific value.

You get what you pay for, and this is a case of good value for the dollar, but the quality of the vise is from the lower end of the spectrum. The vise attaches to a table 2 inches thick and holds items 2 inches wide fairly well. The swivel ball is pretty stiff and allows you to move the item as needed when you have it at the right resistance - making it easy to get it in a better position for soldering in a new spot for example. The rubber foot works well for the top side of the table to prevent scuffing, and keeps it sturdy without having to really clamp it down hard. The under side is steel, so that end might dig in. The jaws have rubber protectors and work well to prevent damage to the clamped item, and have a little give allowing you to not have to clamp down too hard which is nice. They may need replacement over time, so not sure how to get those when needed.Going to knock it a couple of stars (but for the price, not too worried about it) for fit and finish issues. The parts are coated in grey paint, and it's inconsistent across the parts. The molds or finishing process have numerous imperfections making it look like it's well worn in the shop, sort of used (see pics) - again, not a big deal, it is a vice. The jaw will fall on your toe if you open it all the way, there is no stop - when you go beyond the size it can hold, one side will detach. Hope all this helps.

Does what it's supposed to.

Muy practico , te ayuda en trabajos sencillos buena calidad y precio

This is a small lightweight tool which does its job perfectly for its size and price.People expecting to use it like a heavy duty workshop vice or for heavy loads are amateurs/diy guys who can't tell the difference between professional grade and let light duty usage. Ignore all reviews which say this is not sturdy, they don't know what they are doing

Portable but strong enough for some small projects, recommend!

This vise is the biggest piece of crap. I didnt expect much for the price, but it didnt even live up to that. I used it for an hour and spent more time putting it back together because the swivel ball kept poping out of the housing. it was hard to turn with the screw loosened, the swivel boll was a rough casting. the vise screws were binding. overall piece of crap. If i could give it less than 1 star i would.
