Review: Excellent Product - This vice is just excellent. But a bit of context first: I need a vice for modest woodworking jobs, scale modelling and the like, and so I purchased one of the other offerings here on desertcart. Specifically, the DAKFOOK 80mm Table Vice Clamp for £20.99. It seemed pretty good when it arrived, but I noticed soon that the lever that locks the vice to prevent it swiveling around would not lock tight, meaning that relatively little force would cause the unit to rotate around the desk-/bench-clamp. In addition, closing and opening the jaws started making a grinding sound, which came from the clip that keeps the one half of the jaws assembly where it should be. Duly, I decided to return it for a refund and started shopping for something else. I noticed however that a great many of the vices available from desertcart (at the low end of the price range, same as this vice) are obviously constructed using essentially the same castings. That is, there is probably some principal supplier for the companies that sell these vices, which manufactures the castings to which the vice companies apply paint etc. and do a little assembly. Clearly, there was no point in my purchasing one of the competitors to the DAKFOOK as I would be purchasing a replica essentially that would yield only the same or similar problems all over again. So I looked at the Stanley vice, bought it (for just one pound more than the DAFOOK) and I am now one very happy bunny. This is an excellent product - high quality castings, everything tightens and loosens as it should, things align as expected; a sound impression of professionalism - there are no apparent problems at all. In particular, I was concerned about the lockable ball-socket feature, but my fears went unrealized. That is very good indeed, giving an excellent range of movement (three degrees of freedom) and it locks rock steady. It seems unlikely that you would get away with trying seriously heavy-duty wood-/metal-working with this vice. After all, it clamps to your table/workbench rather than being screwed down (note: the bench clamp is very good, like everything else with this product), but it is not really intended for that. It suits someone with my lower-scale requirements down to a tee - I should have got one of these years ago. A final point: I read pretty much all the other reviews here for this product and I must say I had no issues with chipped paint and the like that those reviews mention. The paintwork on the item I received is just fine, so it seems fair to say that those items to which those other reviews refer were simply oddities that fell below the quality control threshold. This is an excellent, inexpensive product of very competent construction. Stuff the competition in this price bracket, get yourself one of these. Review: Very versatile mobile vise - This vise is very nice for the price, it's very smell but very sturdy with a solid design. First glance: I noticed the ball joint, threaded rod, and guide pins were quite dry with a very light machine oil applied so I disassembled the unit degreased it then liberally coated the metal on metal contact points, the ball joint, the threaded rods, and the guide pins with moly grease: 1. Unscrewing the threaded rod all the way releases the front jaw half. 2. Using a size 2 slotted screwdriver you can gently pry the circlip from the threaded rod shaft which releases the threaded rod from the jaw assembly. 3. Unscrewing the smaller spring/washer retained bolt and the two larger phillips screws frees the ball joint clamp assembly. There is no bushing or bearing to take the load of the guide pins so i filled the jaw half cavities with moly grease and after assembling the unit i wiped off all the excess that built up and degreased the jaw halfs so now the unit is built more accordingly to last a lot longer. I'm looking into designing some bushings and guide pin bearings to print with my 3d printer to see if i can make the jaws stay aligned and not wobble. Overall its a great vise and i've needed a vise for decades but dont have a proper solid table that would be suited for bolting a big solid vise, this is a hobby vise that is mobile and is perfect for my airsoft gunsmithing. 5/5 would recommend to anyone, I'd also suggest mirroring my actions to degrease clean and grease the unit with a proper grease designed for metal on metal contact that will reduce wear ultimately prolonging the longevity of the vice, I know it's only £22 but a bit of rust or uneven wear or galling would ruin things quickly. ## Features - Warning:Do not use near overhead power lines. - Warning:Not suitable for children under 36 months - The patented ball joint allows you to rotate your project a full 360 degrees and lock it at any angle - Multiple positions for convenience and easier access - Removable rubber jaw covers wide range of applications for protecting delicate finishes ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001HBS0I0 | | Best Sellers Rank | 3,876 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 1 in Bench Vises | | Brand | STANLEY | | Colour | Yellow | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 12,492 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03253561830693, 05055357274432 | | Included Components | Multi-Angle Hobby Vice 75mm (3in) | | Item Dimensions | 22 x 8.5 x 20 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Multi-Angle Hobby Vice 75mm (3in) | | Item Weight | 1.5 Kilograms | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 22 x 8.5 x 20 centimetres | | Item weight | 1.5 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | TBTL4 | | Material | Aluminium, Cast Iron, Rubber | | Model Number | 1-83-069 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Part Number | 1-83-069 | | Style | c-clamp | | UPC | 013523062967 013523111627 644535989838 798256168215 013227020898 604310237097 | | Unit Count | 1 stück | ## Product Details - **Brand:** STANLEY - **Colour:** Yellow - **EU Spare Part Availability Duration:** 1 Years - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 03253561830693, 05055357274432 - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 22 x 8.5 x 20 centimetres - **Item weight:** 1.5 Kilograms - **Material:** Aluminium, Cast Iron, Rubber - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Style:** c-clamp - **UPC:** 013523062967 013523111627 644535989838 798256168215 013227020898 604310237097 ## Images ![MAXTSEEL Multi-Angle Vice, 1-83-069 | Durable Cast Iron Construction, Lightweight Design, Can be Fastened to Work Surface, Removeable Rubber Pads - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51DHD1RTxoL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Item Package Quantity** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it gentle enough to hold Styrofoam without squishing it?** A: Yeah , if you don’t overtighten it .

Then I saw this for £20. I took a chance, aware that it had limitations and it is being sold as a Hobby Vice. First, the negatives. The jaws are ever so slightly out of line with each other (see pictures). The locking bars are very small, making it awkward to tighten it to your bench or table (but there is a workaround...) The jaws open and the screw thread has a very slight deformity, meaning as you spin the bar with one finger the pressure needed changes, making my finger slip off... That said, I decided to keep it. Why...? The positives. It held a 2"x4" with no wobble at all while I cut it with my jigsaw. (You can see from the pictures that it wasn't evenly balanced either!) It can go in pretty much any direction you want, and can be set firmly (workaround coming up) It is solid and holds firm, and is Not a toy! It looks good in bright yellow. You can mount it all over the place to suit what you are doing. If you bear in mind it is a small device, then it is highly capable. For the money it is a bargain, as sending it back would not replace it with anything similar. Looking around you can find other items that do the same sort of thing, but they don't look as solid. The tension of the main ball joint can be set by two screws behind it, meaning you can adjust how easily it starts mo ing when you undo the tension bar... The Workaround. If you need to tighten the small bars beyond your finger strength, get a ring spanner on the end and use it for leverage. It works a treat. You just have to figure out which way to put it on, as it will only work in one direction. Bottom line; for the cost, it is a brilliant little vice with lots of strength and maneuverability ## Frequently Bought Together - Stanley 1-83-069 MaxSteel Multi Angle Hobby Vice, Yellow/Black - 71mm Tripod Collar Mount Ring 1/4" for Sigma APO 70-200mm F2.8 II EX DG Macro HSM Lens --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/47964245-maxtseel-multi-angle-vice-1-83-069-durable-cast-iron](https://www.desertcart.is/products/47964245-maxtseel-multi-angle-vice-1-83-069-durable-cast-iron) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
