6 inch Swivel Vise w/ Anvil from Harbor Freight Tools

20150317_221349-1This is my first review video so I hope you like it. In this episode I open and review a 6 inch Swivel Vise w/ Anvil from Harbor Freight Tools. It is normally available for about $80.00 but from time to time can be found on sale for $70.00. I’ve read a few reviews online to prepare myself and the only two complaints I have come across a lot are that it is a vise not a press and if you try to use it as a press it will brake. Well to that i say it is a vise and not press, just remember its a large $80.00 vise not a $200.00 press and you should be fine. The other complaint I found is that it needs to be lubricated to work properly. Yep, it says that right in the owners manual too.

Now for some specs:

  • Lockable swivel base
  • Pre-drilled bolt down holes,
  • Max jaw opening of 6-1/4″
  • Anvil Size of 3-34″ x 3-3/8″
  • Base dimensions 6-3/34″ x 6-3/4″
  • Overall dimensions 15″L x 6-3/4″W x 7-1/2″H
  • Replaceable jaws (which mean you can probably replace them with wooden jaws)
