Love the vice. Hate the shipping
This is the best vice I have ever seen. The quick release works smoothly and is a must. The machine work and casting was expertly done. I recommend it to anyone that wants a heavy duty workworking vice. My first complaint is the shipping. When it arrived the box had a large hole in it(from being dropped I suppose). The handle is a solid steel bar but yet it was bent when it arrived. So either Record doesn't make their handles straight (doubtful) or somebody dropped it very hard. Anyway it still works fine but when you purchase a new tool it would be nice if it got to you with out being damaged. Also a template for installing it would have saved a lot of time.
