Title: Sturdy, versatile - well worth the price
Product review: It's VERY solid. It seems to be made of cast aluminium except for the screws, guide rods and shaft which are plated steel. The head opens to 2.5" max (the screw will only have 1-2 threads engaged), and it comes with smooth nylon jaws but there are several types available. There are several heads and bases that can be interchanged for different needs. The rubber base holds very strongly and the manufacturer sells a spare rubber shoe and lever as a kit. As you can see in the pictures I took, the base can be fully disassembled.Mind you, this is not the kind of vise you'll find bolted to a metalworking bench, but it is a much stronger alternative to "helping hands". In all, it's superb for everything from soldering and small crafts to light drilling.
