Wilton Tools 11696 Tool, 6"

It's foreign made which was a little disappointing coming from a brand like Wilton but overall it's a good vice and works well. Can't really beat it for the price.

For this much money, what you get is headaches! The vise is sloppy or too tight, you cannot adjust the ways such that you get rid of slop, and if you do, you can't move the vise. It will not stay centered and there are no locks to keep it centered. The threads are ridiculously sloppy as well and I repeatedly have "walking" drill bits as much as an 1/8". I really wish I would have spent the $90 on the Wen or something similar because I definitely got ripped off with this purchase. Buyer beware!!

I have spent 20 years buying products (including tools back in the day) from China for very large global companies. This is the type of low grade sloppyness that China used to be known for (which is why we used to buy from Tiawan). The screws are covered in dirt, fine metal dust and particles and is very poorly machined with lots of sharp edges. So be prepared to disassemble and try not to cut yourself. Clean everything the way the factory should have done. Knock off the sharp edges and loose pieces of metal left from bad machining and re-assemble with an appropriate lubricant. When you get done you have a very workable product. For this price and out of a modern well process managed and quality audited Chinese factory I should not have to do any of this. They are buying cheap, selling above the value point this demands and expecting the customer to fix the rest. Just a bit better than Harbor Freight out of the box. Wilton used to be decent - this is disappointing, they can do better.

Out of the box the cranks to move the x-y plane were terrible, ranging from stiff to very stiff. There was a lot of dirty oil also on the sliding surfaces that the sections run on. However, all it needed was to loosed the two allen bolts that clamp the handle close to the vice. Also I cleaned and lubed the flat surfaces, and its smooth as could be now, one hand can easily position the vice. The allen bolts were just set off in the factory to one side and making it rub on the inner threads. I'm leaving these allen bolts relatively loose now. HTH.
