Like others mentioned, these aren't packaged for the kind of handling they'll receive in transit. Despite the destroyed box, mine arrived undamaged. All adjustment screws/levers were straight and intact.USA made or not, this is a well built vise for the home mechanic or hobbyist. The jaws are straight and replaceable. The slide is well machined and the included scale is relatively accurate. The screw/crank action on mine is very smooth. There's so little resistance that I can zip the jaws out/in with 1 finger.I omitted a star because the finish between the base and vise was already chipping when I disassembled it to mount to my workbench. Which leads to my next complaint: even my junky box store 4" vise has bearings between the base and body. This does not. If used in a humid area, eventually the finish will wear off and the 2 will rust solid.That said, this is light years better than a cheapo box store vise. Flipping from vice to pipe clamp only requires a 1/4 turn of the set screw and a butter smooth twist of the jaws. The jaws themselves are perfectly square and made of high quality material.I used a high quality firearm grease w/PTFE to lubricate the area and prevent rust. Hope it helps. I plan to follow another reviewer's advice and install tapered springs to make the base rotation easier. I hosed the slide, screw, and nut down with silicone spray and am very pleased with the ease of adjustment. For the price, I'm good. It should last me a lifetime of household projects and hot rod builds, so I feel the price is reasonable.

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2024
Excellent vise. Arrived with a slightly bent handle. The box it arrived in was destroyed. While logistics might have been more careful...better/improved packaging by the manufacturer would be even better. Would highly recommend the vise, though. If you can get it delivered in go order.
