Customer Reviews

I'm glad to see Amazon is still carrying this one5
I bought this vise from Amazon as a "one more left" item. After I checked out, the description said no longer available. Then I came back at a later date and it was being carried again. It looked good. My brother had broken my existing 5" vise, and fessed up, and coughed up the money for replacement. Then I saw this 6" Wilton. It looked good in the picture, and when I received it, it looked even better in real life. This is one beautiful piece of equipment. I know that their are better vises out there, that are rated at 60,000 pounds, instead of 25, but if you need a good vise, and you are not making horseshoes for a living :-) then this is the vise for you.
It is made in China, but that is rapidly becoming something to brag about, rather than something to shun. I know that some of the manufacturing is done in China with total cheap in mind, but especially when it is made to Wilton specifications, meaning they either have a factory rep overseeing production, or a clear understanding of the standards that are acceptable, what you get is a very nice piece of equipment. The fifty cent per hour labor rate translates into, in that case, a very nice unit for a very reasonable amount of money.
I don't know what they are replacing it with, and I know that their are some Wilton name vises out there that are less than steller, but this particular model is a beauty. It looks so good, I hesitate to use it. I went into the local Tru Value, and they had a 6 inch vise with ugly silverly black paint running down the side. This one is tightly made, and nicely done in all respects of the finish work. It is not a polished chrome Snap on Wrench, but hey it's a vise.
Overall highly recommended. If you can find one, grab it.

Wish I could give it a five!3
Looks great, weights 40 lbs, nice design , heavy duty??????? I mounted it to my new work bench and the frist time I used it I sheared the main 1/2 inch bolt that holds it together. I returned it because it is not simple to replace the broken bolt without a tap set.
Anyway, amazon was fantastic! They sent UPS to pick-up the vice and refunded my money right away. Still trying to decide if I will reorder the same vice or not. (all ready have the holes drilled and the bolts)

wilton will not honor warranty1
WMH Tool will refuse to honor the lifetime warranty if your vise breaks, they will claim it's your fault, you'll be stuck with a broken vise...
