Forming metal, center punching, driving out pins, driving anything. The problem is you want the force to go into the work not into flexing the vice mount. Now I don't know how much it would move in a real world situation but the movement in the video looks counterproductive. Try mounting a vice to a standard workbench and then do some work. Then mount the vice to a robust bench IE. 3/4" plate top and heavy legs. The feel and the amount of work needed are like night and day.
I've been fabricating for about 35 years. Well maybe longer. I'm 48. I've used both ways to mount a vice so I'm familiar with how things work in the real world. But I can see why you may think that its counterproductive. I personally... will never have a vice mounted to the top of workbench again. Way to handy to drop it out of the way with The Tool Swing. Sometimes in the real world you have to weigh the pros and cons. And seriously after about 15 years of having my vice on The Tool Swing.. There have been no cons. When you're forming metal, center punching, driving out pins, driving anything..... Its way more than solid enough. I appreciate the input though.

I love the "thank you" at the end.
A beast of a design and build. Love it.
Thank you!! 😀
Shark Tank/Dragon's Den for sure. You got my vote Toronto Canada.
Any progress on making these yet? Very cool design.
Love it! They for sale yet?
When are you going to start selling these?
Where can i buy one?
Sorry. They are not available yet. Hopefully soon. This was a video i made to help market them to a manufacturer.
Bend half inch and I will be surprised
I like the idea but the vice moves too much when you are hammering on it.
I respect your opinion but I'm curious... What is it that you do that this wouldn't be sufficient for?
