4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised. Very well made and versatile, May 2, 2008

I wasn't expecting too much from the reviews and knowing this is all plastic. For light work its great and very easy to work with during projects. You can put the vise in differently than the photo shows allowing your to quickly remove it from the bench or desk and take it to the drill press or wherever. As discussed its not for super heavy duty work where you need a metal vise.

5.0 out of 5 stars More solid than I expected, August 2, 2009

I read a few reviews of the vise being made of plastic and that it wasn't very solid. The reviews gave me low expectations. I didn't want to buy something I'd regret.

At my local home improvement store, I saw and reluctantly tried a display. The solid feel and the range of grasping angles caught me by surprise. I wanted a vise that could bend to fit my projects, this is it. Much impressed by the demo, I took one home right away.

Now realize, this is very compatible with rotary tools in that it's not meant for heavy duty work--like bearing down and ripping through 2x4's. Perhaps 'vice' is a misleading word in that regard--this isn't a hunk of metal bolted to a bench. This is a 'rotary tool multi-vise' which is an accurate description of this product--a multiple position clamp/holder for rotary tool projects.

I've used this vise for wood working projects (custom guitar parts) and cutting bolts and other remodeling work. The vise is absolutely fine, solid, and reliable. The plastic bits are hard molded and there is a fair amount of cast metal. The blue contact pieces of the clamp are the 'soft' pads. Those are removable and give a good amount of cushion and support to hold your project. There is an attachment to mount the tool instead of the clamp. You can also use the clamp independent of the base. The clamp slides along the rail when you hold a release button and squeezes to a firm grip with the knob.

Like I said, I was against this product, but once I tried one it was a perfect match.

So far this little vise has been just what the Dr ordered. It holds the dremel tool securely to my work surface, keeping my hands free to hold the project. It will also hold the project well when the item is too small to hold in my hands. Great item - watch for sales or bonus buys to make this an even better deal.
