Gut, dieser Maschinenschraubstock hat seinen Preis, aber er ist der beste, den ich bisher hatte bzw. den ich bisher gesehen habe.

Assez grand mais je l'utilise quand même sans soucis sur la perceuse bosh. C'est lourd, solide, pas de jeu, plusieurs positions possibles, plusieurs usinage dans les morts. Très bien pour du bricolage sérieux, voir plus. Bon achat

I bought this vice for the flexibility of being able to stand it on any axis so I could cut inox rod and then flip it round to drill and tap the ends without removing from the vice. Being cast iron it is a good weight at 4.5kg and although it can easily be clamped or bolted down in each position often just holding it in place is enough.There is no tommy bar as mentioned, and you wouldn't want a fixed one as it would make it cumbersome, but you will probably need to find one if you are clamping round objects. A 150mm/6" hex key works great for one handed operation to apply just enough force to lock it tight without wear. The tolerance is much better than I expected for the price (£70) - there is only 0.02mm of play across the adjustable jaw on mine which is on the limit my gauges can measure. That does mean you need to keep it clean, but as the machined face tolerances are so tight most contaminants would struggle to get where they could bind.The jaws are 85mm long, with the advertised opening of 100mm (absolute max 104mm, but you need a bit to tighten and slack it off).Draper tools can be a bit hit or miss when it comes to quality as they source from all over the place and rebadge many of them. This vice is one of the good ones. Suitable storage and a little bit of oil from time to time should see this vice outlast the tools you use with it. Clean off any ferrous shavings from it after use and wrap in a rust prevention sheet and plastic bag if storing away.Mine was purchased from Amazon's own stock in May 2018 and came in a hammered dark grey colour. It was in an oiled bag in a Draper retail box but without the mentioned instructions. (Who needs instructions for a vice?)

First impression is that this is heavy!!! Before this, I had a cheap one so no shock it broke. This one is easily twice the weight but you can feel the quality. It's also great that it can be used on its side.If I had one gripe it's that the handle can be a bit tough to turn but I just put a bolt through the hole at the end so I can twist that.
