My dad was a high school wood shop teacher and had 16 10″ wide Wilton vices on 4 large workbenches for his students to use (& abuse). He bought them in the late 1950’s and they lasted his whole 35 yr career, plus another 18-20 years after that! Not until the town built a new high school were they replaced, but I bet someone is still using them to this day LOL! I have the 7″ ver. of this wonderful vice, now I wish I bought the 10″ and I’m going to order one of them as well. I like this new ver. of the vice as it covers up all the vice’s threads, which is great, no more fooling around trying to clean them all the time. This vice is VERY well priced at HD, & I can’t imagine why they don’t sell more of them, they are built like a tank & very reasonable to boot. The big advantage to the Wilton vice over other vices is the nifty quick release function, you just have to turn the handle one turn to the left and the front jaw will pull all the way out. When you’re ready for the next item to be put it the jaws, just push the jaws in right up to the object and give the handle a couple of turns and it’s tight. No lever to hold down nor turning the handle 40 times….it’s a great time saver! The jaws come with 2 blocks of hardwood that have a magnet on them so they are removable (see pic) The jaw closest to you can pivot (see pic) and there is a bench dog as well. The vice is very heavy and will most likely need two guys (or gals) to install, we used long reach channellocks to hold up the vice while marking & then drilling & putting in the lag bolts. This is a tool that you shouldn’t skimp on, EVERY wood shop needs a good vice! It’s a one time, life time purchase that will last for generations. This is not the place to save a few bucks!
