Olympia Tools 38-604 Bench Vise, Workshop Series, 4-Inch, gray

I have had my Olympia 605 for a while now and I have to say that it is really nice for the price. There are some mixed reviews on it but, frankly, those people seem to have had expectations that were bigger than their budget. The vise has a great hammer tone finish. Nice anvil top and horn, it is great for my purposes. The opening and closing motions are smooth with very little "wobble". The base rotates smoothly and clamps down tightly in place. I can't imagine having a problem with this vise unless somebody were to really abuse it. I bought mine for clock repair and other tinkering projects, and I think it would probably be great for gunsmithing too. It's not really enough vise for some of the heavier work an auto mechanic might do, and I think some of the lower reviews here come from people trying to use it for that. As a side note, this vise is way nicer than comparable Harbor Freight units for less money.

This is a great, smaller vice for around the home fixit projects. Well made, sturdy. Would absolutely purchase again and recommend to my friends. To the reviewers who are not happy with this great $25 vice—spend $200 more dollars and quit whining.

Think it's a pretty good value for the $ It may not be suitable for heavy application.

No complaints. It gets the small jobs done and has good clamping force to hold parts in.

This vise does everything I need it to do. A few observations are listed below. - The vise has all steel clamps. (It will mark items if you tighten down. There is Vise's that have a soft rubber padding on the Jaws/clamps. - It is a swivel vise and this is a great feature. (However, it does hold well if you are hammering on something in the vise.) - It does not have have 360 degree swivel capabilities. (it is 240 degrees swivel capabilities) - It does not come with mounting bolts I would buy this vise again considering what I use it for.

Update: 11 days short of one year. Vise is broken. The weak point is the swivel plate. The design of the mount causes the base to flex under load when you torque an item locked in the vise. Didn't take much doing by hand to bust it in half. You get what you pay for. Still a good piece for holding items in place; not so good a vise for heavy gripping/torquing. Marking down for not being so durable. Not a large body vise by any means. I use this for my home gunsmithing bench and it works just fine. I wouldn't mind larger jaw depth, but its adequate for holding receiver blocks; you'll want something larger for say action blocks or the like. That being said, I took it apart and degreased, then regreased with rail grease. The whole thing runs smoothly and it has a nice low profile. This is the best value in a home workbench vise I've come across for the size. Lower swivel lock does not lock very tight but sets quick using a multi screwdriver as a breaker bar for leverage. No regrets.

aWESOME VISE FOR THE PRICE. Could not have done better for what we paid. Its just the right size for small projects(the honey do list) he fixes bent metal like stuff and praises me for buying for him. Would Recommend to a friend? Yes Conclusion: Excellent choice!

I take this seriously and my opinion and experience is my own, which I share AFTER I have tried the product and given ample time to see results and side effects.

I tried to upload a picture but my phone wouldn’t let me but this says 4” and it actually goes out closer to 5 1/2”. It has very good grip and is very solid. You can get it to grip even a little tighter if you put come red grease on the threads. Perfect little vice for working on my vehicles and even doing some gunsmith work. Highly recommend!

En realidad lo uso para trabajos caseros donde no se necesita usar presiones muy fuertes y objetos muy pesados. Se ve realmente resistente y fácil de maniobrar. Lo recomiendo para usos caseros y talacha. Buena relación calidad- precio.

Está bueno, me convence pos las dimensiones, pero son de ACABADO IMPERFECTO, x el precio, pasa ...

Comprei a morsa 38-604 por R$150, esperando que fosse uma morsa fabricada na China, como indicado nas avaliações internacionais. No entanto, recebi uma morsa feita na Índia, e o produto apresenta um acabamento muito inferior em comparação com as fotos e o vídeo de apresentação. molde de fundição muito mal feito os mordentes parecem ser de aço reciclado e mal usinados. Além disso, o fuso tem imperfeições de desgastes mesmo sendo novo. Um ponto adicional é que a embalagem do produto informa sobre a presença de uma substância química capaz de causar câncer e malformações congênitas, porém essa informação não constava no anúncio. Com base nesses problemas, não recomendo este produto nem mesmo por menos de R$150. Sugiro considerar a possibilidade de adquirir uma morsa da marca Marcon ou alguma outra marca tradicional no Brasil.

This is a quality heavy duty vise that will preform very well for any job whether you are a D.I.Y. or professional.

espero utilizarla pronto voy a constuir donde la voy a poner el diseño y la calidad se ven muy bien
