Designed to deliver precise clamping action, the RIDGID F-45 Forged Bench Vise has a sleek, rugged design that outperforms the bulky cast-iron competition. Featuring a 4-1/2 in. jaw opening, the workbench vise has a patented parallel jaw alignment system that delivers precise clamping action as well as longer service life. Built to last, it’s constructed of 75,000-PSI tensile strength drop-forged steel for superior durability and has a sturdy forged steel swivel base with dual draw-down bolts. The adjustable swivel base offers increased work areas and allows the vise to securely lock in any position. The steel handle features rubber anti-pinch rings and a high performance, rolled double lead Acme screw. Designed for optimal tool performance, the work bench vise has surface hardened slides for smooth, precise operation. Additional features include standard, large capacity fixed pipe jaws and a large, hardened anvil.

Very straight forward and basic, but extremely solid and well made. High quality all around.

Easy to install nice and compact fit my bench perfect! I like that it’s forged steel and it’s guaranteed for life! The price is a little high but it appears to be a quality product and made in Germany.

I now own a 4″ and two 6″ vises. They are an absolute pleasure to work with after using many other types at work over the years. These are unbreakable! Totally adjustable to maintain tightness of the moveable jaw when open and parallel when closed even when clamped tightly at only one end. These are lifelong vises – you will never need to buy another replacement!

Haven’t used it yet, seems well made, tight and not sloppy like one would see in a cheap vise.
