What we liked
- + Clear specs: 4.5 inch jaw width, 5 inch opening, 2.6 inch throat depth and a stated 6600 lbs clamping force.
- + Replaceable flat jaws plus built-in pipe jaws for 1/2 to 3-1/2 inch stock cover flat work and round pipe.
- + Ductile iron body with a large reinforced anvil for grinding, cutting and tapping jobs.
Trade-offs
- - The base swivels 210 degrees, not a full 360, which limits positioning on some bench layouts.
- - A 4.5 inch jaw suits home garage work but is small for large automotive or fabrication parts.
