1.0 out of 5 stars WATCH OUT! NOT ALL WILTON IS USA MADE! THIS ONE IS JUNK!, February 26, 2010

Third time I used it, the entire rear of the vise cracked off! I was tightening a car part. The handle was all the way tight. I cranked it a bit more, and then suddenly, the handle was turning EASY. I thought I stripped the nut. Instead, I looked down to seee the rear jaw cracked off with the rear half of the vise.

SHAME ON WILTON FOR PUTTING THEOR NAME ON CHINESE JUNK! Might as well waste your money at Harbor Freight than to buy this one.

And dont think for a second that MASS will make up for a craptastic chinese made vise. Even the heaviest chinese made vise will break. The metal is garbage. LOOKING AT THE BROKEN METAL PARTS, IT IS PURE POT METAL (FOR A VISE!!)

Find a used one at a garage sale. Thats what I ended up doing since Wilton wouldnt honor their warranty!!!

There is a reason LOWES stopped carrying these chinese Wiltons in 2009. THEY ALL CAME BACK BROKEN!!!

STEER CLEAR AND BE SURE IT HAS 'MADE IN USA' CAST INTO THE BODY!

Looks great, weights 40 lbs, nice design , heavy duty??????? I mounted it to my new work bench and the frist time I used it I sheared the main 1/2 inch bolt that holds it together. I returned it because it is not simple to replace the broken bolt without a tap set.
Anyway, amazon was fantastic! They sent UPS to pick-up the vice and refunded my money right away. Still trying to decide if I will reorder the same vice or not. (all ready have the holes drilled and the bolts)

5.0 out of 5 stars Wilton 6" vise, January 4, 2007

What can I say about the Wilton 6" vise? Well, it's Wilton, so it is top of the line. It performs flawlessly and is by far the best vise I have ever worked with. I was a little concerned buying this vise without actually having it in front of me. I was afraid this model wouldn't be big enough but when it arrived I was more than pleased and was glad I didn't go with the larger model. The price was fair. In fact Amazon was the cheapest I could find online for this model and the delivery was good only being a few days. I wouldn't hesitate to buy this item again if I needed it but thats not likely as I am sure it will outlast me and my kids too!
