Negative Positive
Title: Good Helper
Review: Would vote 5 stars, but one star got lost in the plastic...Comes in handy for larger projects, and/or working outside. I wouldn't use it for welding projects, as the laminated-wood-product top, and plastic parts would take too much damage. As a clamp for holding odd-shape items for grinding, it's great! Holds surprisingly solid, considering the flimsy appearance of the parts.Clamping force could be better, but most of that assembly is plastic. When you reach a designed clamp force limit, (maybe 30lb psi - just a guess) it will ratchet off further turning of handles. Considering all torque and pressure points are dependent on plastic to hold all the "business" parts together, B&D; did a decent job with this unit, and is is a good and useful tool.Overall, I'm happy I got it, it's a third-hand when you need it.I regret not getting one years ago, when metal was the primary component...
