Product Description
Why is the ductile iron material used in the DT08125A bench vise so strong?
Ductile iron, tensile strength of 60,000 PSI, is known for its pliability and high toughness. It is a durable and long-lasting choice for any workbench, capable of withstanding high point forces and impacts.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
When it arrived, the box was not damaged, it was inside a styrofoam clam shell, yet the handle was bent. It also only came with 3 bolts and nuts in the hardware packaging for mounting, even though the base has 4 mounting holes.
I emailed customer service immediately and was responded to the next day. They apologized and asked for pictures. I sent them and they said I had two options for the bent handle:
1. Return it and wait for a replacement.
2. Keep it and deal with the bend on my own, and they would refund 50% of its cost, which came to ~ $60.
I chose option 2, which was refunded the same day. Awesome deal, even though getting damaged goods in the mail usually pisses me off to no end.
As far as the mounting hardware goes, they said that is all that is provided by them. This doesn't make sense, but I chose to drop it.
Great customer service is very uncommon nowadays. What ever happened to the Nordstrom's model? And why is a Chinese company out performing American companies when it comes to customer service?
This vise is great. I'd buy it again and recommend it to family and friends.
Forward's customer service is great. I really like it when my blood doesn't boil.
Thank you Forward!

It is fully featured, well made, and ductile iron, which should reduce the possibility of cracking or breaking.
I bought it to replace a small Wilton bench vise that I wore out by using it for bigger jobs than it was designed for. I suspect the features this vise offers will seldom be used by the typical homeowner or handyman, but for the occasion where a bigger vise is called for, this is a great addition for the workbench.
The Forward DT08125A 5-Inch Heavy Duty Bench Vise arrived well packaged. No damage to box or contents.
I mounted it with appropriate hardware for my bench application. Everyone's installation, and hardware, will vary.
From all the complaints I read about this model's operation and design, they were mostly unfounded, for a vise in this price range.
The vise opens and closes smoothly, a full 5" between the jaws. The design allows the work piece to clear the edge of the work bench, if the vise is mounted correctly.
The jaws were both parallel and perpendicular and tightly clamped a piece of paper with no gaps.
Handle is 9" long and 0.558" diameter.
The vise base rotates smoothy 360 degrees and locks down firmly, given that you find the index detent (provided by tooth-like index nubs internal to the base) while tightening the dual clamps, one on each side.
The vise JAW rotates smoothly 360 degrees and locks down firmly. The jaw won't rotate when firmly tightened, but will rotate with some force when the jaws are not fully tightened. That is more a matter of mechanics than it is design.
After installation, the vise was solid as a rock. I made a video to go with this review to provide some scale of size, and to demonstrate the features of its design. I added O'rings to the vise handle for more convenient configuration/ operation (see video).
Reviews complaining about this or that (not counting shipping damage from improper handling in transit) will likely by remedied by experience and use. My vise was in OEM packaging, delivered by amazon, and arrived in perfect condition.
I researched and reviewed vises for many, many hours. I found no "cons" except that it is BIG ( almost 17" long) for the allotted space once taken up by the little red Wilton vise (which I would not recommend except for very light duty). I'm very happy with this one, would buy it again, give it as a gift, and would recommend it to all my rowdy friends.

Only downside is I didn’t receive any mounting bolts in the box and it says that there are 3 included I believe. However, Amazon was amazing in assisting me to resolve this issue.
Stop scrolling and get this vise!
Vise has a 4 hole base, but only comes with 3 bolts???? Why is that????
