The Stanley MaxSteel 83-069 Multi-Angle Vise is a one of kind vise; I was looking for a vise that could move in any direction that I needed. Just getting into craving my old Sear vise could only hold my piece of wood and had to keep moving the base to get to the area that I need to. This vise you have a base mount that is solid and a 360 degree ball that is mounted on top that you can change in any direction that you need. I would not hesitate to buy this product and a great value for the price.Stanley MaxSteel 83-069 Multi-Angle Vise
I saw a friend using this vise on his video and he recommended it. The two vises is working out beautifully - they hold my cane at any angle, singly or in duet. And based on what I saw, I bought two because I am a custom walking cane carver and all my canes are carved out of one blank of wood -much like a rifle stock. The shaft of all my canes have a curve which makes it difficult to clamp without damage to the wood. I highly recommend them. LittlePaw, The CaneSmith
If you wanted a shop vice to shape steel, I would find a another vice. And the Stanley is light and strong.
Couldn't be happier. I use my Stanley as a PC board vice while drilling holes using the Milescraft rotary tool drill press and the Black and Decker RTX.
It has a sturdy grip and jaw covers so you wont mar delicate surfaces. The total work station on my desk takes up about as much room as a mousepad.
You can rotate your work HOWEVER you want it. As a hobbists vice I very highly recommended it.
for accurate solid work with huge amounts of mobility, this is a gem.
Works well for small projects- like the Derby cars for Scouting. Works well but not large enough for major drilling or shapping but still recommend.
On the other hand it could be put in about any position you needed and didn't move. The rubber covers for the jaws were pretty useless for holding with any force. I used this vice for holding an antique main spring winder for watches. The work surface clamp worked well. The vise did not close evenly with mild pressure. It tended to squeeze things out rather than hold on. It would be a good vise for very light projects. I sold mine.
