Perfect little vise for the money!
Yost LV-4 Home Vise 4-1/2″ at this price is awesome for a good light duty swivel vise with one year warranty! And at this price it is obviously not made in the USA and is not a medium nor professional grade vise. If you want a vise able to withstand a lot of pressure with zero movement with a large anvil, then this is not the vise you need. I would recommend looking at The Yost Apprentice series at least. This is clearly for the casual user who just needs a light duty simple vise and probably targeted toward someone who will not use this very often.I’ve used it for household projects, school projects, building a pinewood derby car, regripping a golf club and gunsmith projects (filing a magazine) for example. Works great for everything I’ve used it for and grips great, opens pretty wide, swivels when needed and is solid.If you are concerned about the size, before you buy please go get a tape measure and go out to where you’ll be installing this and measure; all the dimensions are listed here or on Yost’s website. I don’t understand reviews that state it was ‘smaller than expected’. You should always measure!I liked it for the very reason it is compact and doesn’t take up much of my bench space for something I seldom will use. I’ll probably only use mine once a month on average and it is perfect for that.If you get a defective unit, Amazon will take it back no issues, plus Yost also has a year warranty. It happens.

Great buy on a sturdy home project vise
This is decently well built and heavy duty enough for most home projects. The price was unbeatable as well. I’m happy.

Excellent Small Vise
I am a wood crafter and need a metal vise from time to time. This vise fills the bill. It has all the features I need. As you can see from the photo, I didn’t attach it permanently to my work bench. In stead, I clamp it to my work bench. It rotates 240 degrees so you can clamp items and get to them from various angles. It has flat jaws for general use and rounded jaws for pipes and dowels. It has an anvil for shaping with a ball peen hammer. It is a rather small vise for home shop use. I don’t recommend it for commercial use. The paint job is excellent to prevent rust. I think it is a perfect value for my purposes.

Solid, tight
Good vice with adequate flat area for hammering. Teeth are tight and it is machined carefully – corners of the device are sharp as well, so be careful. Easy to install on work table – good price, good value.

me gustó esta prensa porque es de buena calidad, es barata y cumple la función. Aparte de la prensa de 4.5 pulgadas también incorpora una mordaza circular para cortar tubos. Sirve muy bien para trabajos de hogar. 100% recomendable!!.

What an amazing vise this is..This vice is in the Top 5 vises in the market today!I wanted a vise for my electronics workbench but all the vises I had seen where either aluminium and low quality or very small for the usage I wanted. Plus they were equipped to be attached on a bench with the help of a screw pad and OMG very expensive to buy too..In my work I can use it as a holder to solder a connector or to hold an enclosure box for drilling..Because I’ve worked with a couple of vises before I had always problem with stabilization of the vise.Therefor I decided to go with a heavy-duty vise like this one.And on this age of cheapness that surrounds us nowadays (where almost everything is plastic or the lowest quality metal and sometimes its even plastic painted like metal), I’ve never expect to find a heave-duty professional vise especially on this prize! Just $40 bucks.I’ve got to tell you that not only its amazing, never moves on the bench no matter what work I do on it (I mean its 5 Kg) but also it has an awesome holder that can be used on light and tough work as well. You don’t have to tight it strong to hold whatever you’re working with.I’m totally satisfied with it and I recommend it to anyone for all kind of jobs.
