Customers are mixed about the size of the hardware clamp vise. Some mention that it's the right size and works well for them, while others say that it was quite a bit smaller than they were expecting. The anvil is a little small, and the center hole that the unit pivots on is way too big. The mounting template is not to scale, and it'll only work with certain types of mounting.

Customers are mixed about the tightness of the hardware clamp vise. Some mention that it swivels when needed and is solid, while others say that it does not have the wobble that has been mentioned. The spherical bushing issue is real, and it is inexplicable why it is.

"...everything I've used it for and grips great, opens pretty wide, swivels when needed and is solid...." Read more

"...have noted, this looseness makes it almost impossible to secure the vise against movement, and also puts unnecessary strain on the single pivot clamp..." Read more

"...What sets it apart is its swivel base, which allows for easy maneuvering and positioning, making it a breeze to work on various projects...." Read more

"...Once it was mounted, I realized that the pivot lever would not tighten down, which makes the vise useless...." Read more

Great value for a small vice.
5 Stars
Great value for a small vice.
Great vice for the money. Made in the USA. Fastens down very well and makes solid connections. Tip - Took the bolt off the bottom and used some grease to grease up the center bolt as well as the main screw drive. Another tip is to use a file to file down the sharp edges. This will make the edges smoother so that there are no cuts to skin or nicks on items being clamped down. Great value for the money, hope to get many years of use for this great little vice.

3.0 out of 5 stars Review of YOST LV-4 Bench Vise - How I Fixed the Slop In The Pivot.
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2016
Let me begin by saying that I think Yost makes a fine line of vises. Please read my review of the superb Yost RIA-4 bench vise - undoubtedly the Cadillac of small bench vises. Which makes Yost's apparent indifference to the well-documented complaints of slop in the LV-4 swivel pivot so hard to understand.

My brand-new Model LV-4 arrived his afternoon, and the slop in the swivel pivot was obvious. As many reviewers have noted, this looseness makes it almost impossible to secure the vise against movement, and also puts unnecessary strain on the single pivot clamp, which users tend to tighten with max force in an effort to hold the vise still. A clear lose-lose that is so simple to fix!

I discussed this problem with Yost customer service, and the person I spoke with was quite pleasant and friendly but dismissed the matter as possible tooling wear. Which is nonsense.

Fortunately, I had a simple fix. Simple, that is, if you happen to have a scrap piece of thinwall copper or aluminum tubing. Which, by the way, is the deeply satisfying answer to your Significant Other asking you why you keep all that junk, to which you usually answer "Because I might need it some day."

Well, that Some Day arrived this afternoon! Please see the two attached photos.

I cut a short piece from a length of thinwall aluminum tubing that I knew, Just Knew, I would need someday. The tubing wasn't exactly the right diameter, so I split it lengthwise and slipped it over the pivot bolt that secures the body of the vise to the base. Voila!! no more slop!

Now, much as I admire the Yost product line, I cannot justify, in my mind, their refusal to fix this dead-simple problem. I do resent having to fix a brand-new vise to correct an obvious manufacturer's oversight. A simple bushing in copper, brass, or aluminum, would cost Yost a couple of pennies, at most. But they evidently have chosen to ignore the many complaints by loyal users, and instead allow the vise to shift position unexpectedly, possibly compromising the work piece. Even offering it for a dollar as an after-market item would be nice.....

Anyway, all's well that ends well....etc. I hope that this review is helpful. It should be possible to find a bushing of the correct diameter (length might be a problem). But I worked with what I had on hand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Amazing heavy-duty vise for any usage!
Reviewed in Canada on June 10, 2017
What an amazing vise this is..
This vice is in the Top 5 vises in the market today!
I wanted a vise for my electronics workbench but all the vises I had seen where either aluminium and low quality or very small for the usage I wanted. Plus they were equipped to be attached on a bench with the help of a screw pad and OMG very expensive to buy too..
In my work I can use it as a holder to solder a connector or to hold an enclosure box for drilling..
Because I've worked with a couple of vises before I had always problem with stabilization of the vise.
Therefor I decided to go with a heavy-duty vise like this one.
And on this age of cheapness that surrounds us nowadays (where almost everything is plastic or the lowest quality metal and sometimes its even plastic painted like metal), I've never expect to find a heave-duty professional vise especially on this prize! Just $40 bucks.
I've got to tell you that not only its amazing, never moves on the bench no matter what work I do on it (I mean its 5 Kg) but also it has an awesome holder that can be used on light and tough work as well. You don't have to tight it strong to hold whatever you're working with.
I'm totally satisfied with it and I recommend it to anyone for all kind of jobs.
