I got one and love it. Recommend you put threadlocker on the allen screws on the adjustment end as well as the spring-loaded adjustment pin in the back. They will be wanting to back out until you do.

Shoot good point! I will do that too

Man a good table vice is a lifesaver! Looks like a solid piece.

@@freebirdsgarage True. But HF tools rust faster than any brand.

@@tycox8704 uh huh. My $1300 Wilton 1780A (teal- U.S.) rusted as soon as it went in the farm shop. Gee, almost as if anything with bare metal on it will just outright rust.
I've dug up old HF Pittsburgh wrenches with less rust on them than the old U.S. Made John Deere wrenches that sat in the same humid environment-whoever was the OEM for old JD tools- idk, but they rusted out worse than loads of Chinese made wrenches and old Japanese stuff before Japanese stuff was even really any good. Old Craftsmans and Eascos rusted out sitting in a tool roll over one summer on a table inside an old dairy barn- 2 floors, tinned roofs, not a drop of water was getting on them barring humidity. Not saying they're better overall by any means, but there's no reason to believe their newer halfway good stuff is also magically terrible just because of your idiotic prejudice.

@@jaywelker5566 It’s not prejudice. It’s current reputations. Your argument compares tools among those manufactured in the past. Standards change-even for once reputable brands who compromise their reputation to survive market challenges.
You mentioned early Japanese and chinese tools. Neither country had quality steel for a long time after WWII. It’s no surprise that their early goods rusted more easily. It’s also no surprise when quality tools tarnish because they get more use. None of which refutes the fact that HF’s bare metal tools and tool parts rust faster than even Big Box store brands that are also from China.
