20 Best Gun Vise For Sighting In (2022 Updated)

This range rifle vise is so simple and convenient to use. I’ve used others that are way over engineered. This one has just what you need to rest your rifle while you work on it. Nice rubber bumpers and rifle v-grips wont let anything slip.

Folds nice and compact for the range. Installed scopes on two rifles with this and it worked perfectly. Slides open for longer rifles or that “just right” fit.

Sturdy, light and easy to throw in range bag. Not a high end vise, but knew that when I bought it. Was looking for inexpensive rest to work on rifles and could not have found a better option. Definitely recommend.

I bought this “range vise” because I wanted something I could use to clean my guns at the end of the day when I’m camping at 2 or 3 day Cowboy Action Shooting Events. I like the way it folds up for packing along.

It works good for the Sharps, and the shotgun, but it won’t hold a lever action rifle with the lever open. You have to get creative and put it in the cradle sideways. It likes the fatter stocks of non-cowboy guns, like modern bolt actions, vintage military rifles, and it holds an AR-15 pretty good.

It has rubber feet that keep it from sliding across my smooth work table when I’m using it at home. Overall I’m happy with it and would buy another one if I had to.

Great for rifle cleaning. the yolks are soft rubber covered and will not let the rifle move when pulling a cleaning cable or using a cleaning rod. Has 6 soft rubber feet on base, so it stays in place.

Folds up and collapses into a small unit and is very easily stored (fits in backpack). Adjusts to hold my AR lower and upper individually for maintenance.

I needed something that I could use in a small space for scope mounting and bore cleaning that could be stored easily. This is perfect. Just fold it up after use and it takes up less space than some books on the shelf.

Easily fits in the range bag, too.

As a retired union pipefitter having used Rigid Tristand vises for many years, I can honestly say there is a reason these are on every union job. They are sturdy, extremely long lasting and a fabricators best friend.

You either have one or you need one. I just had to have one for my own personal use. Don’t settle for anything but a Rigid, they’re the best!!!.

I started out with a really old, used model 460 many years ago. Even though it looked like it had been through a war, it worked perfectly. Eventually I treated myself to a brand new one, and later added the model 425.

These purchases were great investments. The Ridgid Tristands are super durable, super heavy duty made and just a pleasure to use. I’ve never had a single problem with any of my tristands. One time during a pretty bad construction accident, my 425 got shoved around and was buried.

When it was finally recovered it just had some scratches and had lost 2 of its rubber feet. I called Ridgid and they sent me a pack of the feet for free.

Great product, assisting with precision pipe and rod cutting. I was told by my plumbing teachers that I didn’t need one for apprenticeship work, in which case, the purchase of this product was a mistake.

Plumbers know the Ridgid name. We know that you are going to get a quality product. This chain vise stand is a quality product. It is small. It only goes up to 2 1/2 in pipe. It’s great for small jobs.

If you’re only cutting a couple piece of pipe, or are doing some prefab, this vise will be handy. It’s relatively light weight, is easy to carry, with it’s leg lock and handle, and stores easily. I choose this model because I felt it would fit best in the small van that I’m currently driving.

If you’re one of the people out there doing service type work, perhaps in a small vehicle, and are in need of a pipe vise, I recommend this Ridgid Tristand chain vise stand.

I got it a month ago, I have used them before, but I needed it for some recent gas pipe jobs. Now I know why only big companies have these. The price. Well worth it though.

I’ve had this vise for a little over a year now, the angle adjustment slips sometimes and the nuts at the tensioner lever fall off a lot. It’s a bit hard to actually get your hook securely placed in the vise sometimes.

I chipped off the corner of one of the jaws on a size 18 midge hook. I honestly would not recommend this vise.

I bought this vise because I needed a rotary vise for more versatility fly tying. It is AWESOME. 3 tips, portable, well made, and is a great beginners vise or as a travel vise for those nights back in camp where you need to tie a few “lost to treefish/fish ripped it apart” flys.

I DEFINITELY HIGHLY RECOMMEND this vise.

I bought this and the deluxe tool kit (also came with a vise) to make a traveling tying kit. I replaced the vise in the deluxe kit with this one, as it is much better for streamers and big flies. This is not a high tech tying solution at all, and does not compare to my bench vise, but if you need a compact traveller that can tie a wide array of hook sizes, this is a pretty decent pick up.

The C Clamp is nice and sturdy for a vise this cheap, but I think you will get the best out of it if you add a pedestal. It ain’t pretty, but it will get the job done when away from the comforts of your home bench.

I rated it average since I had to add adhesive to some of the screw caps to keep them from coming off. The 2 extra jaws are a nice touch, I use the “heavy wire” the most, but don’t lose the pin that screws them in place, the two extras provided are too short.

Really like fact vise came with mount for work bench. The bolt holes are half inch in that mount. Have used vise on number of projects. Did purchase Wilton’s magnetic jaw cover to protect items. (Chainsaw bars.

) Oversee a cabin for a hiking club, really like fact vise fits in receiver hitch on Gator front or rear, when we might need a vise for work on cabin project. Vise is well made! It is a replacement for heavy Chinese made vise that became impossible to use because screw fouled up, plus one of the swivel parts striped out.

This vise will last long time, great quality, with totally internal drive screw. Look forward to many years use! Handy lift handle well thought out design. Very pleased customer.

We RV extensively during the summer and this is very easy to slip into the pick up bed when we take off. Only used once on the road, to assist another RV’er. Works great in the garage. Have used it to sharpen lawn mower and chain saw blades.

Holds everything in place. Was easy to set up and install. So far, no rust is forming on the product. Would recommend this to anyone who needs something for the road and at home.

It seems to be pretty well made. I read some reviews that mentioned it had some play in it when tightening it down. It worked just fine for me and was very smooth. One review noted it had play when mounted to the hitch.

It had about the same amount of play as when I have my Reese trailer hitch ball mounted so Im satisfied. I think the idea and design to mount at the hitch unit is unique.

I was very pleasantly surprised, even amazed that I could find no flaws with this product upon examining it after unboxing the item. The paint was perfectly applied – even to the bottom of the base. The machining and castings are flawless and some forethought and consideration went into the design of this vise.

For example, if you turn the vise over (bottom up), you will find a port at the front near the handle for the application of oil to lubricate the screw inside the keyed column or “spindle” that carries the movable jaw of the vise.

The jaws by the way, are very nicely machined with a diamond pattern etched nicely into the surface for good grip. The edges of the jaws are sharp though, and I would go over the edges lightly with an abrasive stone or file so that no one gets cut accidentally.

But this is a minor concern, really. At first I thought that the nut that rides on the screw which drives the jaw back and forth must be a simple affair like you would expect a nut and bolt to look like, but I was wrong on that count too.

The “nut” that rides over the screw inside the spindle of this vise is large and covers a fair portion of the screw itself, and it doesn’t even look like a nut. The design is more sophisticated than I expected of such a simple tool.

We like to say that “you get what you pay for”. Well, when you purchase this vise, you are getting more than your money’s worth in my opinion – definitely a rare occurrence in today’s economy.

I’m a home DIY guy. I’m 65. My whole life I suffered with little $80 vises. I said to myself if you don’t get the a perfect vise now when will you. Well the time is now. I plunked down the $700 and waited for perfection to arrive.

It’s the best vise I ever owned but its not perfect. There are small defects that are irritating but none interfere with its suability, The thing is when you splurge for a $700 vise you expect perfection and this vise isn’t perfect.

That’s why I give it 3 stars rather than 5. The jaws don’t meet perfectly. They are about half a millimeter off. When opened beyond 7″ or so I I feel resistance as the cantilever on the threads exerts force.

There are some strange metal working remnants on the shaft. I blame these small defects on the crappy Chinese manufacturing. None the less I would buy it again and I do sleep a little easier knowing Chinese military equipment is most likely built to the same standards.

Very sturdy, tolerances are good, so far performs as advertised. The first time I struck a can on the anvil to crush it, there was a dent where the hammer head impacted. I tested it with several more strikes, dented to a degree on all of them.

The metal is too soft to be a striking surface. I would not buy this vice again, unless they knocked a 100. 00 off the price.

i love this workstation 350! i’m a locksport enthusiast and enjoy making various tricky locks for friends around the world to pick open. the panavise helps me do everything i need from holding the locks while i attempt to pick them open, simulating the job of a door (although we never pick locks in situ!) to holding my drill while i make the weird and wonderful security pins to go inside the locks.

i have the jaws the other way round from the picture, so back to back and the strong winding mechanism coupled with the neoprene jaw covers is strong enough to hold the bow of a key while i file cuts in it and the multi directional head on the vice means that any angle is easily achievable.

the base tray is also very useful, especially if you are dealing with fiddly bits, like pins and springs and you want to keep them apart until you need to. i used it to help me solder something delicate yesterday which needed to remain still during the process which it did with ease and the round bit at the opposite side to the winder doubled as a holder for the iron.

if you need a vice i cannot recommend this enough, i’ve bought several table top vices that have failed for one reason or another, invest a little in one of these, you won’t regret it.

I use this vise for electronics assembly. I have multiple variations of the 350 model from PanaVise that I use daily. I prefer the weighted base option over the parts tray. But, the parts tray base is OK.

I only gave it 4 stars because without generous lube the crank can be hard to turn using only one hand. Not any fault to Summit. It’s the design. However, bolted down to a bench it would turn ok. The 350 is a good little vise and will work for years and the rubber pads are replaceable.

Note: Some assembly is required. You can upgrade the base later if preferred.

I waited far too long to spring for this vise. I use it for a wide variety of projects, from holding PCBs to holding my mini oscilloscope. I use it often for small mechanical assemblies as well. The ability to reverse the soft jaws really helps with odd-shaped PCBs.

I’m tempted to get another one for my machine shop. Excellent for small/awkward assemblies. I purchased an add-on Quad Hands for mine, and I don’t regret it. Excellent combination.

Great ideal but not a great vice. The “screw action” is weak and very hard to use compaired to all vices I have ever owned. I took it apart and packed some grease in it. That helped but its still lackluster at best.

As for the rest of the vice. It seems to be good quality. If you can find a different brand, I would not buy this one. Kust being totaly honest about it.

Great vise. Ive used mine twice now and it worked flawlessly. Its not a lightweight vise and its very handy at the farm for on site repairs. I highly recommend it.

Just bought this vise, it appears to be well made and is heavy. Also comes with a bench mount so I can mount in on my bench as a bench vise. 2 in 1 deal. Used it this morning and it works well for my needs.

We’ll see how well it holds up over time and use.

Decent value for the money. The only ‘issue’ isn’t with the product, but is with my AR’s stock. It needs to have a towel wrapped around it to hold firm enough in the clamp to allow it to be stabilized with the upper separated from the lower securely.

Not a big deal, I would purchase it again.

Decent product for general servicing and cleaning. However, you will need to use some cardboard or similar materials in order to shim your rifle butt if you are trying to level your scope, as not all butt profiles will fit perfectly/level in the generically shaped vise jaws whilst clamped.

I’m very happy with this. It holds securely and can clamp with the barrel level or tilted slightly down. Should work well for cleaning and light gun work. Directions for assembly aren’t the clearest, but they’re adequate.

Go easy on the screws, they don’t need to be ultra tight.

I wasn’t necessarily looking to buy a vise but happened to see it on the shelf and decided to buy it. I’m so glad I did! No more laying a towel down on my work bench to work on my long guns or pistols.

This product is also as an excellent rod and reel vise. I used it on my tuna gear and was very happy I was able to use the mutiple adjustmens needed to fit the gear properly. It is very well made and as advertised, works on all types of firearms, bows, and like I said, rods and reels! Here’s the story I like the best! AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE! I had a very minor issue with one of the clamps.

The screw down on one of the vises wasn’t working properly. I got on the phone and actually talked to a live person right away. The gentleman I spoke to was kind, courteous, and knowledgeable. I explained to him about the minor problem and took the time to listen.

At the time of the call he didn’t have the replacement part available and would ship me a new one when it came in. As many of us know, we’ve heard this answer many times from other companies and never heard back from them again.

To my surprise, 4 days later, I received a brand new part with an apology from Tipton. UNBELIEVABLE! Anyway, I’m so incredibly happy I have this vise and even more, having a company who really do stand behind their product.

Tipton deserves an A+ for making such an incredible product and customer support! You just don’t see that anymore. If you’re looking for a vise, look no further, this one is a winner, you wont be disappointed.

Despite the shipping error no fault of SG I am very satisfied with my purchase. I shopped around for awhile before finally settling on this one. I’m a fairly big gun enthusiast and have plenty experience with crappy vises.

I see low reviews cause people are trying to use this vise to install barrels, this is definitely not designed for that function, that what a bench mounted vise is for. My only qualm is that upon opening the shipping box the ends of the actual vise box were open and had never been sealed.

Luckily none of the parts had fallen out and everything was there. I’ve used this vise with my ARs, compound bow, shotguns and pistols with not one issue. There are a few YouTube videos out there to address the issue of the towers not staying up.

I made those adjustments and this thing is ROCK SOLID.

Bought this a couple months ago. Looked sturdy and well made until I used the clamping device. Not a fan of most things plastic but the fast acting clamp screws are an inexperienced engineer’s pipe dream.

Having a background in the heavy automotive repair trade I can tell you the only time you don’t require some sort of locking device on threaded fasteners is when they are fine pitch. Place a rifle in this fixture to mount a scope and it becomes extremely tedious.

Clamps constantly come loose due to the fast thread pitch. Thoroughly disappointed in this fixture. Have a gun butler that works fantastically. That’s the reason I ordered this clamp. Never recommend this to anyone, especially considering the price.

The only thing ultimate about this fixture is the steel frame upon which all the plastic junk is mounted.

My brother has the older version of this vise and while this one is very usable it doesn’t have the rigidity of his and the buttstock clamp on his is more substantial than this one (this one flexes a bit too much for my liking).

I realize that in order to remain competitively priced that manufacturers have to find corners to cut but in this case the clamp area should have been constructed with more rigidity and the base shouldn’t show warp areas from the mold due to reduction of mass.

I also suggest lengthening at least one adjustment bolt for the center support as you need to hold the supplied bolt in place so you can start the threads on the tightening nut. All said, I’ve used it for cleaning my AR, my bolt-action hunting rifle, an auto-loader shotgun and a couple pistols.

With the exception of the short bolt for the center support, it is easy to set up and adjust. I recommend it as a reasonably-priced option for the hobby shooter.

This vise is by far the most versatile gun vises around! The functionality and stability of the vise is second to none. The ability to function as a handgun vise makes it a great option as well. This is also one of the few vises that provides an L-shape center support piece, which allows it to support break open rifles and shotguns for easy cleaning and maintenance.

Great Vise!.

Actually have already written a review however, I don’t mind reiterating what I have previously said. The Tipton vise comes in a box and requires assembly, if you can tie your shoe laces without your mom’s help, then, you’re golden with this aspect.

This device easily accommodates rifles, shotguns, and pistols. It is made of plastic which does not bother me in the least, the plastic is resistant to gun products but don’t get crazy and start cleaning your weapon with xylene, toluene, or acetone, it’s resistant to gun care products! Tipton’s vise can be bolted to a table for a more permanently stable set-up but it also has 4 rubber pods which for me, held nicely on my dinning room table, yeah, don’t tell my wife, besides, it’s too cold to mess around in my garage shop.

ANYWAY, the vise has polyurethane rubber pads everywhere your prized riffle, shotgun, or pistol may need to rest, sit, or be held, thus, no concerns with marring your beloved wood stocks, grips, and new or newly finished metal, or just because you meticulously anal about your weapon like me.

The vise has an easily buttstock clamp which is screwed into place with two large black knobs, which there are 5-6 on this device making adjustments a breeze. The rails are aluminum and enable moving the supports a brainless endeavor.

This Tipton vise is light and easily moved, carried, and placed anywhere there is a 14″ X 36″ stable, space. The supporting tray or bottom body of the vise has numerous indentures that allow placement of tools and parts, nothing huge however (if you require a sledge hammer, that simply ain’t gonna fit) but parts/tool holders are still sufficient and enable one to keep track of their parts, There are higher quality more robust vises on the market but I’m not a gunsmith, I’m a gun enthusiast, thus, this piece is excellent and a great bargain.

I bought this to hold my rifles for cleaning. Works great, is sturdy and holds the rifle secure. The rubber rest and clamps keep the stock from getting scratched. It has a built in rest for your cleaning rod, several compartment to set solvent, oil or patches in during cleaning.

So assembly is required. It was easy and the instructions are clear. Care has to be taken not to over tighten the screws, as it is all plastic. I would recommend this stand.

I’ve been a gun enthusiast for over 40 years. After inheriting my dad’s guns at age 18 when he passed, I continued to build my collection. I don’t shoot a lot, but I do have NRA’s Sharpshooter patch.

When I do shoot, I like to clean the guns well before storage. I cannot believe I have waited this long to finally get a gun vise to make cleaning SO much easier. before now, I’ve had to prop my gun up with blocks or pillows, or even the bags from my corn hole game! The Tipton Gun Vise locks the gun in place without marring the finish.

It comes with some very minor assembly required. Takes about 5 minutes. I really like the locking cam. It makes it easy to swap rifles when you finish one. Scope mounting is an absolute breeze. I really appreciate the moulded in trays to put screws, patches, solvent, lube, tools, etc.

There is even a little recess to hold your cleaning rod. It is lightweight, but engineered to be very sturdy. This is not a shooting sled. I would not use this product to sight in a high-powered rifle.

That is not its intent. It has non-slip feet on the bottom to keep it from sliding around on your table or workbench. My only improvement suggestion would be to add an anchoring points for the option of screwing it down as a permanent fixture.

I got a great buy on this item, and would buy it again. It would make a great gift for the plinker or serious shooter.

I want to clean that 6. 5 Creedmoor but you need a hand free for sipping on that whiteclaw well look no further this is the contraption for you. Got that 30-06 dirty from sticking it out the window of your truck this hunting season just sling her into this contraption and you’ll be back out there firing mediocre rounds in no time.

(I like vanilla ice cream as well).

As other have stated, this vise and it’s components are quite large, so much so you may need a larger wrench. The vise base is wide and requires a decent amount of real estate but the pressure generated is impressive.

The wood inserts are suitable for an action that isn’t stuck on, but I found that even with the lead shims sold here, they did not provide enough gripping force to stop difficult actions from rotating the barrel.

I fully recommend close – tolerance aluminum blocks as more force can be used without fear or splintering the wood or spinning the barrel.

Vise worked great. The wooden blocks which are intended to be expendable were a one-time use item. I would recommend getting the aluminum blocks. I also used to vices. One near the chamber and one set at the chase of the barrel.

The two together were required to keep the barrel from spinning. Keep in mind, I’m working on 100+ year old rifles.

I had to exert about 500 ft-lbs to 600 ft-lbs to unscrew a Mauser 98 barrel. But with a little rosin from a Rosin Bag, bought at a sporting goods store(baseball section), the barrel came off nicely. I had to bore the provided unfinished oak blocks, to precisely fit this barrel, and the oak blocks worked well.

An excellent barrel vise.

This is very high quality and well designed. I like that it’s made in Taiwan rather than China, to standards set by the parent company in Germany. The design is simple and it holds items very solidly.

The ball on mine was a bit loose where it joined its shaft, but when the bottom clamp is completely loosened and removed, the ball can be lifted out, exposing the screw that holds it for a quick tightening.

Other than that, no issues. Even the color scheme is pleasantly retro, like something from the ’60s. The removable rubber pads on the jaws are a nice touch. So is the packaging — it comes in a box printed in German.

I could just about hear an oompah band playing while opening it.

I would highly recommend this item for anyone who needs a vice but doesnt want to permanently drill a heavy bench vice onto their bench. Its very lightweight yet is strong enough for most hobbyists needs.

I use mine for electronics stuff and its strong enough no hassle at all. When its clamped onto your bench its there till you loosen it off. The clamp is lightweight yet sturdy enough to hold your work down rock solid.

I would very highly recommend this vice. 10 out of 10 in my opinion.

Typically well-made Proxxon product. Top quality manufacturing, delivered on time. Very happy with my purchase. More Proxxon products on my Home Depot “wish list”.

I’ve wanted a vise for my workbench for a long time, but it wasn’t until I had a pressing need for one that I finally decided to get serious about shopping for one. I needed to straighten some damaged metal tubing and a twisted mounting plate and knew I needed a sizable vise to do it right.

I purchased the Central Forge 6-inch vise for its size and for its large anvil feature. This vise held everything tight while I pried and bent the pieces back into their proper shape. I’m an ordinary suburban homeowner so I only have a need for a vise once in a while, but I wanted a vise that is robust enough to handle the occasional tough job.

This vise delivered the goods. It was the right choice for my needs.

I needed a vise that was light enough to be removable when needed but with sufficient opening and throat depth to be useable in most situations. This 5 inch works out great for that. I mounted it on a couple of shot 2×4’s and a piece of plywood.

I cut openings in the side of mt work bench (2×6) to receive the 2×4’s and hold the whole assembly to the bench. This works out great and is light enough to easily slide in and out of the bench. I gave it 4 stars because the jaws don’t close square to each other.

I had to insert a 1/16th washer behind one of the jaw inserts. Other than that, so far I am happy with it. Time will tell how much abuse it can take.

This is a good 5″ vise for casual use at home or in a shop where it’ll be used every once in a while and you don’t need a heavier or larger one with more features. One thing you must take into consideration is that although the vise has 3 holes for mounting it on a bench corner and if you’re using a wood bench, you have to have enough meat on the frame of the bench to attach it properly/securely.

If you do that, then the stationary jaw plane does not protrude over the edge of the bench plane, not by much, maybe a quarter of an inch. That then negates the possibility of using the vise for a long piece in a vertical fashion beyond the face of the bench.

Unless, of course, you rotate the vise to the corner, then you can. I doubt that it would work on a steel bench as well. So it’s just an extra step to make such a scenario work against a vise that has a stationary jaw that extends beyond the face plane of the bench, which for some reason are a lot more money.

The main screw is of good size and smooth in its operation. The jaws match and hold wood or steel firmly. Under heavy use, I would suspect there would be some wear but for the price, and level of my use, this vise will last for decades under nominal use.

As a plumbing contractor I have purchased a lot of tools. Ridgid Tools are amongst the best out there. Always high quality, durable and built to last. I highly recommend ridgid tools.

This is the perfect solution for holding in place with no slip plumbing fittings and parts. We had used a standard vise in our shop for years with the risk of things slipping and injury. Rigid is more expensive then other brands but you know with Rigid, you have a tool for life!.

Assembly was a bit challenging only because the instructions were not completely clear but got it together. Seems pretty sturdy. support legs at bottom could be a bit wider for more stabilization from side to side tilting/tipping.

Adjustability of seat height was overlooked in the design (i. e. short or tall shooters). Its on the heavier side as well. Last item was the front adjustable support that is hard to thread into place as the welded in nut is tight to the frame so it was hard to get in there.

I think that is because my box came damaged from dropping and the top frame in that area was bent. Will add to this one weather is good and I can haul it to the range.

Sturdy construction with great fit and finish. Concise step by step instructions made assembly a breeze. 360 swivel, padded seat with back rest, and fine tune adjustable rifle rest. Has everything I was looking for in a shooting bench.

Take down and light weight makes this bench portable and easy to store. Package a little beat up upon arrival. Upon close inspection no scratches, scuffs or damage of any kind. Platform cover with ammo pouches adds a nice finishing touch.

Very pleased with my purchase.

Great value for entry level gunsmithing vise, easy mount and dismount helps when working in limited space. Keeps whatever you’re working on secure and accessible.

The design of the vise is great but the plastic wheel handle is def a lil cheap. The foam blocks are not so great that come with the vise. My box was pretty much destroyed and it looked like the vise had been used.

One of my barrel foam blocks was completely missing from the box also. Better options for vise blocks are available.

This vice is a must have for your work bench if you do repairs or just cleaning. it’s a space saver easy to handle and solid construction makes this vice a great tool to have.

The plastic used to secure the AR is not durable. When I first noticed the part that was used to secure the rifle was plastic my hopes were kind of low that it would do what I needed it to do, but I trusted that armorer vise meant armorers vise.

On first use while attempting to loosen the barrels D-ring the plastic mag well vise block base snapped in half causing me to lose balance and cut my arm on the remaining plastic of the base. The materials used in this product are not strong enough to be labeled a vise.

I bought this device on recommendation from sports authority. As well all I read that wheelers made very good A. R. 15 tools. So a year or so ago I can’t remember when exactly maybe a little over. The first time I used it to do some work on my AR (change out the rear stock) the mag well vise block Cracked all the way across right under where the receiver would go down into the vise.

Very disappointed in this product. And just dimension the block does it look nothing like the one on the box that’s supposed to come with the armor vise. Looks like the one that you buy a that just mounts down with two bolts to a table.

I tried to loosen a staked castle nut and the mag well vice block snapped. It’s made of cheap plastic and can’t handle much torque. This is a cleaning vice, but not much else. Wrestling with the castle nut without a vice, using the Wheeler AR wrench damaged my buffer tube and end plate because it doesn’t hold well.
