Works as advertised. I have the woodworking jaws, and the rubber padding lets me grip odd shaped carvings safely and securely, then turn them every which way to hack on 'em.
While this vise was designed to be bolted to the workbench, space is at a premium in my shop. I made a mounting plate for the vise out of some scrap lumber, and bolted the vise to that. Then, I clamp the mounting plate to the bench with some Bench Dog Clamps.
This way, I can easily remove the vise when I need the whole bench, plus I can move it to different places on the bench by using different dog holes.
Have not installed it yet. It looks perfect for howI want to use it for.
Solidly built. Mounted it to my bench and it's rock solid in any position. I could see it flipping my bench over before it showed any give. Looking forward to getting to use it and the IQ Connect system on my next project.
Very well made and useful. My only complaint is that the jaws do not open wide enough.
This system is extremely versatile and rock solid. Obviously designed by someone with an eye for detail and function. Well done!
Suitable for my work.
The appearance evokes positive emotions, even in my wife.
Absolutely the best vise i have found ...just started a new hobby after retiring ... and I returned 3 vibes before I found the IQ
I’ve only used it a few times so far and it works great. Well made and I love the adjustability.
Easy to mount and easy to use great product
I had my eye on this vice for a long time, but the price held me back. When they put it on sale i went ahead and pulled the trigger. Still seemed kind of expensive, but i went for it, and glad I did. Very versitile, sturdy, and handy. I've used it a few times now, and I'M mad at myself for waiting so long to purchase. If you do stuff in your workshop, this will most liklely make thing a lot easier.
I love my IQ Vise. It is great for around the house tasks and I am primarily using it for gunsmithing. Sturdy enough and no issues at all.
Only complaint would be it would be nice to adjust the cant of the head for certain applications.
I gave the IQ Vise to my husband for Christmas. He is delighted. He has already set it up in his wood shop and is please with its versatility.
I've now bought four of these (one each for my adult sons). I find it to be sturdier than I expected, and so useful for so many things! Buy it.
