## Description

Product Description IRWIN Bench Vise, Heavy-Duty, 5-inch (226305ZR) From the Manufacturer The IRWIN 226305 5" Vise is made of forged iron. This IRWIN Vise can hold up to 3000+ pounds of clamping pressure. Providing top clamping pressures for heavy duty jobs. This vise would make a great edition to your workshop.

Review: Great bench vise - Well built and sturdy. Works as you'd expect. Great vise for the price.
Review: Very good quality, well built . Low backlash - Very good quality, well built. Low backlash, which I prefer. Two minor downsides: if you extend the jaw too far and the main acme screw disengages the internal threads, it can be quite difficult to re-thread, due the small ledges & chamfers that are cast into the fixed and moving jaw assemblies. Also: the jaw opens to about 4.2 inches, not 5 inches. However the "width" of the jaw is 5 inches, laterally. 4 mounting holes and 2 rotational locking levers make this a stout unit. See Project Farm. Highly Recommended.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What kind of gaurantee does it come with for breakage**
A: Trust me the warranty is not the issue on these cheap vises, its the hollow vise itself that's the issue. 
  I mean if they sell you a big long turd and I say it has a lifetime warranty on breakage but' it breaks into anyway sure' they'll give you another turd why not?  It only cost $10 bucks for the meal that made it anyways so they can replace it several times still having making profit. Eventually they know you'll call it a day and go buy another turd/tool hoping its better than this one. 
 Fact is you get what you pay for the first time with tools and if your bending pretzels with this vise it will be a fine one forsure. Don't bend/pry on anything heavy with it though as its a very light weight vise and how I know its hollow.
 Understand too these warranties are only for defects, not misuse so "maybe" they'll replace the hollow turd...Maybe not, either way they already have your money now don't they?

**Q: where is it made**
A: Its made in china, but it is much better than most vise's I have seen. No slop when its opened or closed and the swivel locks actually work easily. Overall a good vise for the money for the homeowner.

**Q: How wide do the jaws open?**
A: Thank you for contacting Irwin Tools.  We strive give the highest quality of customer service.  The jaw capacity is 3" on this vise.

**Q: Does the base rotate 360 degrees or what ? The add needs to show what all it does not just some.**
A: Yes Chris it swivels 360 deg. and it has 2 base locks. Very happy with this vise.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works for me.
*by A***L on February 28, 2015*

I just recieved this vise today, so I can't comment on it's durability. As others have said, it doesn't look like the one pictured, that was a pleasant suprise that I was hoping for. The moveable jaw of my previous vise was sloppy and the screw had a lot of backlash. This one seems to be much more rigid. The jaws maintain their alignment, and open and close with minimal movement of the screw. Also, the rotating/ locking mechanism has a serrated ring, rather than a smooth ring, enabling it to be locked in position with little effort. In retrospect, I probably should have bought one with a deeper throat capacity, I've needed that in the past. A "good" vise costs upward of $200, but this seems to be a good value for the money. This should be fine for my purposes, fabricating/repairing things at home. If I happen to find fault with it down the road, I will revise this review. Here it is, over two years later..still happy with this vise. I've beat on it, used "cheaters" to over-tighten the jaws...hasn't failed....
