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 Β£22 but a bit of rust or uneven wear or galling would ruin things quickly.

The under bench toggle screw quick release clamp for bench attachment (pic 4) is ideal and secure. The ball joint rotating vice body (pic 5, 6) provides multi positioning and the clamp appears secure, durable and solidly built, no problems with the ball adjustment as I read in other reviews. This product ticks all the boxes for a small bench top multi function vice. I rated versatility and sturdiness as 5* as a reflection of the above. Although the vice is sturdy and on first inspection feels well made and durable 3* are awarded to β€˜value for money’. As noted the vice arrived in its packaging damaged with 2 visible chips, main body, both disguised by touch up paint (pics 7 and 8), (pic 9) shows the ball seating plate again paint chipped this time showing bare metal. I feel the vice should have been advertised as slightly damaged or offered with a discounted price. I’m not returning the vice as the damage doesn’t affect the operation of the product, it’s a vice it’s going to get knocked about in use, but damaged goods are damaged goods. All in all a good purchase at a reasonable price. ## 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? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/47964245-maxtseel-multi-angle-vice-1-83-069](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/47964245-maxtseel-multi-angle-vice-1-83-069) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-09-19*
