Does anyone own one of these? Been doing some research and it looks pretty nice.

I do not but it does look pretty good. I do have some of their other tools and they all work well.

Pretty handy, but i wouldn`t trust it to be sturdy enough for anything heavier than using it for cleaning a firearm, or to "maybe" mount a scope.
And i wouldn`t pay that kind of money for something so light duty that is likely made in Chy-naw.

I've been using the Tipton bench setup for most operations. Use a standard cast bench vise for some and barrel vise for others. Pleased with the Tipton so far.

Looks a little flimsy and a lot expensive.
I made a set of wood pads lined with felt carpet underlayment that I use in my regular bench vise. The carpet felt is very gentle and holds well on rounded and irregular surfaces, and it doesn't mar wood or blued metal. I stole the idea from Mark Novak on youtube.

Would mainly use it for handguns. I have a nice vise for long guns.

I don't like the ball swivel at the base.
I pretty much work on a gun cleaning pad or two. Gun bench block if I have to push pins. A thick rubber cleaning mat and a magnetized parts bin to keep from losing parts.
I do have a Tipton long gun vise for my shotguns and rifle work. But handguns on the mat.

Get one of these, save $150, and it will be around long enough that your grand kids will be using it.

Thanks to both of you
Not something I would use where good amount of torque is required, like rebarreling a rifle. Heavy inexpensive Chinese vise is your friend. Love mine, used it a million times, can't imagine living without one.
The one I have is similar to this.

I have this setup. It's excellent for mounting scopes and using laser bore sighter to sight in rifles at home.

I've got a cheap Harbor Freight vise on the end of my bench. Have some magnetic soft jaws for it, along with some other bench blocks and other mounting fixtures that go in it. Then a Tipton vise for rifles. That vise looks pretty neat, but i wouldn't pay anywhere near that for it. Doesn't look sturdy enough. I wouldn't trust it with my reaction rod locked in it and tightening down barrel nuts etc.

This is what I'm using. It works for rifles too.
That's a real nice one. I could have used that in the past with all the different positions it is capable of.This comes with an extra swivel.

I do not have any experience with this tool but I do use many of their other tools and they have been great. This vice is very handy but if you plan on doing any hammering or torquing, just get a quality bench vice and get some soft jaws for it or use wood. They are handy but I doubt when you need to break something loose that is really tight that this vice is going to stay put where it is. Me personally, I would get both if you do work on a lot of guns.
