Pros & Cons

Pros

It is the best clamp i have ever owned and would recommend purchasing it. An excellent alternative to the higher price models costing hundreds more. Great value for a hobbyist and beginner jewelry maker.

There is a rubber support ring that the ball vise sits in, which is dry, not lubricated, to keep it from rotating. Reassembly with the bearing and the vise will spin 8 revolutions with one flick of the hand.

One flaw is with the attachment set - not as well-made as the ball vise itself. Tighten it up, and it stays put. Also seems they have fixed the issue with mis drilled holes.

Quality


Buyers will be much happier with the performance if they take it apart and give it a clean up.


I was not sure if i needed the accessories, but i am very happy i purchased the one with the accessories.


If you rock the jaw back to front there seems to be excessive movement, and i am concerned that will allow the jaws to work lo...  Read More


I did this with the 220 and then 320 washed off both halves with solvent (wd40) and blew it all off with compressed air and wiped it down.

Packaging/appearance


I got several hitch hikers (bugs) in the packaging.


My ball vise came in grs packaging with grs documentation and at this price point could care less if its a knockoff or not beca...  Read More

Competitiveness


Cheaper than the competition, you don't need to spend the extra hundreds on other brands.


With a little sweat equity i think this will be a very nice vise at a fraction of the cost of the big name competition.


I do not own any of the high end brand vises, but i have little doubt this vice is not as precisely made as its expensive competition.


I would rate this as a very good value comparable to the units costing $400 - $500.

    My ball vise came in grs packaging with grs documentation and at this price point could care less if its a knockoff or not because its a quality knockoff other than a bit of fit and finish work needed from the end user

    You could buy a precision carbide reamer to smooth the holes out to perfection with a hand drill or drill press and still be way ahead of the game price wise

    Consider this a diy item for final fit and finish and you wont be dissapointed

    Additionally is seems they have fixed the issue with mis drilled holes as all of the accessories fit without issue


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I read a lot of forums and reviews and half the people said these were total junk and to the pro who uses a lindsay or grs everyday it probably is but for the begginer or someone who is just starting out and not sure they want to invest in an expensive vise i would say buy this and save your money for an airgraver


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Given that im not ready to afford the grs benchmate i wanted to find something to use to set stones in rings


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I have included a picture of what i received in the box


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The maker went to great lengths to convince you it is a well known high end brand but after comparing the parts breakdown to the vice they are not the same
