Title: Not worthy of the Panavise name
Product review: If you're looking for a PCB vise, save up and get the more expensive Panavise with a metal base. This thing is more trouble than it's worth.Pros:--Heat-resistant vise grips with nice grooves that hold on to a PCB--Articulation works well and feels sturdyCons:--Jaw threading is stiff and difficult to operate--Jaw handle is small and uncomfortable to turn more than fine adjustments--The suction cup base does not stay down, even on a very even non-porous surfaceI could forgive the suction cup, since I could do something like glue it down, but the vice jaws are too difficult to open and shut due to the combination of the stiff threads and crappy adjustment handle.
