This is a very nice tool to have around. It seems to be well built and function as it's supposed to. Note that it is fairly soft metal to keep from messing up the threads, and that you won't want to use this to hold an axle (or any threaded rod) to loosen a tight fastener; doing so will eat away at the metal of the vise. But it certainly comes in handy when you need to hold a wheel still to remove or insert ball bearings and stuff like that. You can also use it to work on lamps (containing hollow rods) and other stuff like that where you don't want to mar the object you're holding

Obviously, you need a bench vise to use this properly.

I purchased this tool on a curious whim and I am completely satisfied.

It is designed to do one thing and do it well, secure wheel axle and pedal spindle threads securely in a bench vise.

It has exceeded my expectations, I used it regularly and it's now one of my favorite tools.

It may seem a bit overpriced but once you begin to use it you realize it's worth every penny.

If you're a bicycle mechanic I heartily recommend the Park Tool AV-4 Heavy Duty Axle and Pedal Vise.
