Nice solid platform for moderate work on firearms like cleaning and repairs. The angle adjustments are easy and quick. Works on any rifle/shotgun/handgun. I purchased the extra jaw sleeves which are very nice. Very simple and straightforward to install. Mark your holes on your bench, drill, insert the carriage bolts and torque down the nuts. I used extra large washers on the bottom side to help insure the bolts don't break loose. A bit pricey for a Chinese product but it seems well engineered and constructed. Great value!

I've seen many haters in various forums talk about this little dude. Personally, I love it. It mounted very easily to my workbench. I love the different jaws. I love the 360-degree ball rotation. I can use padded jaws to securely hold a rifle with the handguard on to clean the bore. With another set of Real Avid jaws, I can use this nearly like a barrel vise. I recently had a suppressor thread lock onto a brake due to thermal expansion and some baked thread grease. I had to remove the barrel from my rifle, secure it in the vise, and really work to get that suppressor off. Once I got the barrel in the jaw barrel-groove, it held firmly enough for me to get this job done (not rolling/twisting). I've also used this vise to remove barrel devices, work on my rifles. That ball joint is awesome to reposition your rifles while working on them. I really don't have anything negative to say about this vise. Wait. Maybe. There maybe is one thing: The spindle handle could maybe stand to be a little longer. When you're really cranking on it to secure a barrel so it won't roll, it does get a little tedious. But it's nothing that requires a workaround or anything. It'd just be nice if it were a little bit longer for more to grip while you torque. Other than that, for the cost, I really do like this vise.

I needed a new light duty vise and thought I’d give this a try. Honestly, I see Real Avid as an overpriced hipster brand capitalizing on new and inexperienced shooters. However, I lost my Right Hand overseas in the military and finding tools they help me adapt and get the job done is crucial for me. While I don’t think this vise will ever be as good as my old, US made vise for heavy duty stuff. I.e. removing or torquing rifle or revolver barrels. It seems like a descent vise that should suit my needs for a small, versatile vise for cleaning, optic mounting, etc. As well as acting as a second hand for us cripple folk, as it turns out, hands are surprisingly useful and versatile. The attached photo is exactly what was in the box, less a 6 page brochure style manual. Nice they included foam/plastic jaw covers as well as carriage bolts (2-3/16”x 1/4”) for mounting. You still wouldn’t catch me using their “revolutionary” bore cleaning products. But I think this is a well executed and robust (within reason) product. Albeit maybe a tad pricey for a cast aluminum mystery alloy made in China product. Maybe I’m holding it to a higher standard that I should but, it is priced as a high tier product and labeled “Master”, but will it be jack of most (not all) trades and a master of none?. I will update when it’s got 30-40hrs on it and see how I like it. Or if it fails. Whichever comes first.

The vise works great. It's a medium-duty vise that easily handles all my gunsmithing needs. I've been using mine for a year with zero issues, and I'm glad I bought it.

This is a much-appreciated addition to my rifle and pistol cleaning equipment. It is well made. It functions best when a third hand is needed. I am very pleased with it. A little pricy but worth the money. I recommend it.
