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

Wilton 33178 woodworker's vise
This vise is an excellent choice for the average part-time woodworker. Be advised it does not come with any installation instruction. It is a great vise for the price and the shipping was free!

Good Low-end Woodworking Vise
This vise does not have the heft of a Record or Jet, nor does it offer quick-release functionality. It is a good basic vise with a bench dog for 1/4 to 1/3 the price. If you are outfitting a top-end workbench then get the Record. If you just need a vise but don't want to invest too heavily, this will do the trick. ... Read more

Work bench
This workbench was all I expected and more. Assembly instructions were a bit vague, but we figured it out. The bench is a great place to mount a chop saw. ... Read more
