This is the first woodworkers vise that I have ever owned, and I did as much research as possible before buying. I found at least four models in various 'box' stores and woodworkers stores. Every one seemed crudely made. I compared a few models available from Amazon, but lacked enough experience to make an informed choice. I ordered the Wilton because of the generally favorable reviews. It looks and feels like a quality tool. I think that I will like the fact that the screw is covered by the frame, and will not easily collect dust. My first serious use was to debark some small logs. I found that the outside jaw face swiveled nicely to provide a firm grip on almost any log, the mechanism was quick to operate and a pleasure to use, and there was no 'give' whatsoever when I peeled off large strips of wood with my drawknife. I am really happy with my choice.
