This vise grips!
I just installed my Jorgensen woodworking vise. It is a very heavy vise, I mean it has heft to it. I had been using a made in China cheapie and there is quite a bit of difference in the way it adjusts and how it grips your product for work. I find the quick release quite easy to use, a simply twist and pull (or push) and big adjustments are a breeze. When you place wood and tighten, my goodness, this vise has a real, real good hold on it. I am impressed and I recommend.

Great!
This is the best wood working vise that I have ever used, and I use it a LOT. It did not come with wooden jaws, but adding them was no problem as the jaw plates are predrilled. It is large enough to hold anything that a furniture-maker or hobbyist would need, and the slip screw makes working with it a breeze. I wish that I had owned this 20 years ago!

Buyer Beware - Quality Is Poor
I was very disappointed when I opened up the box and inspected the vise. The castings were of poor quality, the front jaw was displaced about 3/16" to the left of the rear jaw when closed, and when viewed form the top the jaws were not parallel when closed (1/16" off). In addition, the quick open/close feature did not work well. When you consider the high cost (money) of this vise, it is just unacceptable. I have since returned it to Amazon.com for a refund.

Don't make the mistake of buying this vise.
When I first took it out of the box, I had to double-check that I was shipped the right vise. The casting of both halves was so mismatched, I thought it was a cheap knock-off. There was so much polyurethane on the wooden dowel handle that I couldn't fit the caps on without splitting them - I had to sand the finish off first.

The quick-release feature was fun the first couple of times I used it, but it quickly became a pain. A half turn back releases the outer jaw so it can be pulled out or pushed in. But it doesn't slide very easily and the half turn doesn't fully release the work. And, of course, continuing to turn out doesn't do anything because the gear mechanism has released. I eventually "fixed" it by drilling and tapping a threaded hole into the quick-release gear from the front while the gear is engaged. A screw in this hole will jam up against the inner jaw and prevent the quick-release gear from doing its job.

Jorgensen vise review
I recently purchased this vise from Amazon and installed it on my woodworking bench. The machining is excellent, the fit and finish are great and the smooth jaws don't mar the wood it clamps.

I really like the quick-release feature and have found it invaluable for quickly adjusting the vise to the work at hand.

Installation was quick and easy and the vise included a template for drilling mounting holes. ... Read more

Model in picture is 1755N
Wilton vises are certainly 5-stars, but the vise shown in the picture, and, we can guess, the one you will get if you order this, has a stationary base, and is apparently the model 1755N ("N" as in, "does not swivel"). If you are comparing prices, make sure you are comparing models with the same features. If you prefer the swivel base, and Wilton makes a good one, the model 1745 (just slightly smaller), sells for about the same price as is shown here. The price here is not a bad price for the 1755N, but if you are expecting to get the 1755, this is not it (note that the picture shows no subbase, and not locking clamp). You may not need or care for a swivel base, just be aware that the 1755 has one, and this, as shown and as described, does not. Currently the 1745 (has a swivel base) is listed above, under other items people who shopped for this item looked at; check it out. A swivel may be better than moving your whole bench to get a long piece into the vise.

big, solid, nicely machined
After shopping exhaustively for a Wilton bench vise I happened across this one in an internet search, and was surprised to learn it was for sale at Amazon.

It weighs 50 lbs, a major shipping weight, but shipping was free.

The jaws are held in place with hex screws, and can be reversed. The surface on one side has ridges for gripping; on the other side, the jaws are smoothly machined.

The vise has an unusually deep throat, which is helpful for sheet metal bending, and for aluminum sheet cutting operations. It is a big, big vise, but I find I can readily use it for fine work as well as for heavy stuff. ... Read more

not what I expected
I recieved my vise and was excited to get it as I had just finished building my new shop work bench and was looking forward to adding the vise. I ordered the Jorgensen vise because I am very pleased with the quality of there other vises I have purchased. When I opened the box I was surprised and disappointed that it did not look like I had expected. I ordered the 9" vise for two reasons, first because I needed a vise that was not to wide and according to the discription the vise had a 7" face and as I only allowed 8" when installing the top of my work bench for the vise to mount on the front and not hit the leg. Well the face was 7" but the mounting hole for underneath were 2" wider making it a total of 9".
Second and most important to me anyway was the appearance. The picture on Amazon is different then the one I recieved. The picture on Amazon shows what is actualy the 12" model 41000 for both the 9" and the 12" vise when in fact the 9" model 40709A has a completely different face on it. One that is the same size but much more square. I could have gotten a square vise like that anywhere but as I said I was trying to find the right look. This may be a small thing but we all take pride in our work benches especially. I wish a little more time was spent on making sure the pictures match the item better and more pictures or details were availible in order to make the right buying discission

It gets better and better
The more I use this vise the more I like it. After two years of regular use I am ready to buy another, perhaps larger, Jorgensen vice.

Great price for a great vice!
This Jorgensen vise is perfect for the home workshop. It's easy to install thanks to the template provided and big enough to handle everything I work on. The quick release works great and makes it easy to secure work without effort. I'd recommend this vice to anyone that is serious about woodworking and conscious about their budget. ... Read more

Cheap Quality
I purchased this vise because the box stated made by Wilton. I must say that I am disappointed. The metallurgy is inferior to other Wilton vises that I've used. The jaws and anvil are soft and distort easily. My main complaint is the threads in the base have stripped out and the vise will no longer clamp shut. I could have purchased a REAL boat anchor for less.

Boat Anchor
I wrote the first review before I ever used this vise. Now that I have used it, the ONLY positive thing I can say about it is that it MIGHT work as a boat anchor. Every part of this item bent, broke or failed to do what any decent vise should have done. For example, when I was flattening out some #12 copper wire, it actually left DENTS in the surface of the anvil! I have since replaced it with a used (but American-made) Wilton vise. I am NOT Asia bashing. I'm quite sure that the factory where this was made would NEVER use this piece of junk in their own workshops.

Is "USA" a city in China?
The first bullet item in the description of this vise is "Made in USA". I assumed this was a true statement since Wilton is (or was) an American company. When the vise arrived, the box was clearly marked "Made in China". I bought this vise because I thought it was NOT made in Asia. Asian vises have a propensity to be easily damaged due to sub-standard metallurgy. I could have saved time (and money) by purchasing a Craftsman vise (they're now made in China too). ... Read more

Wow! Neat set of tools
I just ordered a bunch of tools. Of all of them, I like this one the best! The home improvement centers I visited do not have this set. Three vise-grip tools included, all with cushinoned handles. A needle-nose, small regular, and large regular. Plus, the needle-nose and small one has it's own nylon sheath with belt loops. I put my classic needle-nose pliars away and put these in my tool box. This is a good deal. I've already used the needle-nose to repair my vaccuum cleaner which I don't think a regular one would have worked. Thumbs up! ... Read more
