I just bought the 4 1/2” version of this vise, two days ago, on sale and with a coupon. It’s huge compared to other vises of the same jaw width, and plenty big enough for my needs. I’m very happy with it and the price I paid. That 6 1/2” vise looks like an awesome beast!

I'm really glad I watched your video. I was going to install my bench a little too far from the edge. I wouldn't have been able to clamp onto things that hang below the table level. Thanks!

I bought one of these. What a beast. Could not be happier with it

Great review! Wow, that's a nice vise. I'm looking for a 6.5 inch vise right now. This Doyle is definitely in the running. Also looking at the Forward brand.

Wow. I gotta tell ya, I have a 6" vice. I am not comparing mine to that, mine s cheap and crappy. I only bring it up to say that it is nowhere NEAR that size. I am tempted to go buy this, just to see if turning that big ass handle makes my ____ grow! Anyway, back to being a little serious...about old school tools. I have all the tools I have ever wanted. That is not to say all that I will ever want, but that's my one thing where I do not skimp. If I become aware of a tool that will be useful to me, I buy it. Even at times where doing so made money a little tight for the week...I'd buy the tool, and just deal with it. Moreover, I retired three years ago and went on a mission to upgrade/replace/but for the first time every tool I can imagine ever needing, in the hopes of finalizing the collection so I can concentrate my money on moving to the coast. Black and Yellow is my brand, and my garage is stocked top to bottom with XR power tools. But in that one little corner, on the bottom of that one shelf sits the one, old school, corded tool that I will never let go. Yes, I have the latest XR power detect circular saw, but that 50 year old Black and Decker that my father used to use when I was a little kid in the 70s...it is still there, and it still works! It gives me comfort to look at it and think "if the world goes to hell, and every DeWalt I own blows up on the same day...THAT old Black and Decker will still be there, and I will still be able to get things done. Now, before any of you young Sprites start screaming, be advised: In the time before time, when I was little and you were not yet born...Black and Decker used to be a serious power tool company. In fact, I would go so far as to say that they were THE power tool company of the 1970s. They decided to change markets later and started making disposable tools, but it was not always this way. If you get your hands on a Black and Decker from the 70s...hold on to it!

Thanks for the review. I was looking at this vise just yesterday. You have helped me make the decision to buy. One tip if I may. If you're still using that bench, consider lag screwing it to the wall. It will do wonders in stabilizing the bench and taking the shakes out, especially when hammering away on something.

Looks nice!!

GREAT VIDEO !!! THANKS

Totally right on proper mounting of vise to bench. You are right about that bench too, its a joke! One trick many guys don't consider is mount the vise to a oversized piece of steel plate, then mount the steel plate to the bench. If a guy is smart, he will find a piece of railroad track to keep under the bench to use as a substitute for the vise when possible instead of automatically beating the hell out of the vise. A lot of punishment vises experience is because of poor shop practices and guys that work harder instead of smarter.

Mark You SumGum!!! Nice video, nice vise, decent installation. May I make a suggestion to use washers betwixt the head of the bolt and where it goes down through the holes in the vise. You used them on the bottom, but this will protect the vise, and allow to snug it down really good, which is what’s needed! Get a thicker top! Peace! 👍💪✌🇺🇸

That thing is surprisingly smooth

Also, nice old school Coleman stoves. 👍🏼👍🏼

Dude! Next time opening something heavy: (1) Roll the box upside down. (2) Cut the tape on the bottom and fold the 4 cardboard flaps over. (3) Roll the box back over. (4) Lift off the free undamaged box.

Thank you.

I have a Capri vice and I think they're both identical when I looked at the Doyle vice.

Great video. Thanks! Now I got Doyle vise fever. 🤒

Wow, that is one nice vice. Now waiting for a 20% off special.

Been looking at this one, seems like a good deal.

I would definitely recommend getting the largest square footage shop you can. Even if it means you’re gonna have to wait to put electric, insulation, And HVAC. Because it’s something you’re gonna have for a lifetime and you’re always gonna wish you would’ve went larger. My shop is 24’ x 45’ with 9 foot walls and a 12 foot peak and I wish I would’ve went to bigger . So that’s my advice go as big as you can and wait on the rest. Good luck to everyone out there!

Thank you for the info. True story about being lazy once you mount your Vice. I’ve had the 4” cheap HF vise mounted to my left corner. Then realized all things like gun barrels, golf shaft, etc are better from a right mounted Vice because the receiver for the firearm, for example, is over the bench with the ejection facing you. It’s a right handed world. Put your Vice right corner like this man. Don’t make my mistake. In years I never moved it from left side 😂

A LOT OF WILTON LOOKS IN THIS VISE THATS A GOOD THANG

Got 4” one the other day. Think it was $130 after tax. So worth it for that price. Quality is great.

This guy is just like me... right down to the Baofeng. You're a good American, Sir!

Check to see if you can get aftermarket Lithium batteries for that drill. I was able go upgrade to a new battery and gave my Dewalt new life.

GM Mark!! ☕️☕️☕️ Nice video review. I do have one EASY question for ya. This review was for a 6 1/2” Vice. Harbor Freight had a 6” one. Could that be the same one you reviewed?? I’ll be checking back with ya sometime. THANKS!!

Great video. My work bench spans the width of my shed. I know it's going to be a compromise. Any idea how far from right-end I should mount it? Thanks.

Had to comment on your statement about this vise not being in the same league as Snap-On, etc. the company I worked for invested heavily in Snap On vices for our repair shops several years ago. These were big, heavy duty vises, 8” if memory serves correct, but when we started receiving them, we found many of them had cracked bases! And I’m talking totally separated, no just a start! The ones we installed that were ok, soon cracked also! Absolute junk! High priced junk!

Harbor freight has been stepping up their game. It comes down to how much more are you willing to spend to get nicer quality. I’m not going to spend 50% more to get a A marginally nicer product. They are my go to in 2021

Let us know how it works out with that brand of vise, I have been thinking about getting one, good price.

It looks alot like my wilton tradesman.

Looks like they have upped their game on these. Imma gonna have to get one. What size bolts did you use to mount it? Are the holes metric?

"Not going to compare it to an old craftsman" Another youtuber did a side-by-side of the Craftsman professional series and the vises were identical. So it is definitely comparable.

Mounting is helpful but I was more interested in the vise itself.

Ever think about jawhorse?

Does it come with bolts 🔩

Ya need a bigger bench. LOL

Bolt diameter / Drill size?

Iam thinking wilton made this vise

👍⚾️

That looks like a rip off of the Snap-on vise so I expect it to be good. Those Snap-on ones are soooo nice.

Just got one, as of 5/23/2023 they are 229.99

Is it China or Taiwan?

Nothing from Hobo Freight , the China store !

Tonight when You and Your Wife are being intimate, DON'T BE THINKING ABOUT YOUR VICE !!!

This sounds like a paid promotion to me.

I wanna see a video of you abusing the vise and show us if it’s truly a tough vise. Like use the anvil by beating on it. Bend steel with it clamped and beat on it to make sure the jaws don’t crack. Press in some bearings and make sure the jaws don’t collapse. I almost bought that same one. For some reason i bought one off Amazon for the same price. Thank you for making the vid. 👌
