As a professional gunsmith myself, it is very difficult to underestimate just how important a good vise is to your trade. I use the Orange Vise bench vises (I have 2 and I bought them when they cost half what they do now), but I’m very glad to see Brownells offer this high quality option to the cheaper China and India imports on the market. One suggestion: consider adding a return or pedestal mounting your vise. I found that when the vise is bolted directly to the table, it often takes up valuable workbench space when something is clamped in the vise. By pedestal mounting or adding a specific return to the table just for the vise, you get the vise off your bench top and frees up room for the bench and also makes the vise more accessible as well. Great video!

One handy set of vise jaws I’ve made, is to take 1-1/2” copper pipe, split it right down the center, heat it up in the forge, flatten it out, the forge and quenching the copper keeps it soft, then just simply put in vise and bend a 90 degree angle, one for each jaw. I completely understand the vise snobbery, I own several Wilton vises.

I saw it on the Brownells channel the other day, great looking vice, thinking of picking one up myself as a second vice. The lift base is a big plus.

Great video as always. I look forward to more. How about a shop tour video?

The ability to raise the vise, is something none of my vises have. That could be very handy.

I really like this vise, and was looking for something just like it that would work better for gunsmithing than my old Wilton last year. At the time Brownells had a smaller dark green vise, but I wasn’t that impressed, and it didn’t get that great of reviews. I can see getting an inline fab quick change plate to switch between this and the RA master vise which like you I also have.

P.S. I see it’s out of stock as of today and they don’t mention the mfr name, show the accessory / optional bases, or link to the different vise jaws. (?) I think you may have got yours at just the right time! I asked to be notified as I can see making a place for this in my shop.

Thanks very much for the review and discount code!!

Love the idea of being able to raise / lower the vise but that's about it.
I would like to have that and install a 3x adjustable multipurpose vise.

Just bought the same vise and mounts from Brownells. Could not be happier! After
nearly 50 years as a gunsmith I have never seen or used a vise as good as this AND, with the hydraulic base, my back will thank me.

I believe those jaws are vulcanized rubber, same as hockey pucks. I have a parrot vise I got from Brownells with similar magnetic soft jaws.

What would you recommend using to paint it. Personally not a fan of the green. (Thanks for the great video)

[edwards_enterprises]

does it come with the clamp mount? or u had to buy

[johnp]

Anyone know the name of those rubberized jaw protectors?

Please learn to pronounce the German. It’s not that hard. 😂
