Real AvidVise - 360° Swiveling Bench Vise for Optimal Positioning, Versatile Applications, 5" Jaw Width Vise for Cleaning, Maintenance, Woodworking & More High-Torque Applications up to 100 ft-lb

I needed a new light duty vise and thought I’d give this a try. Honestly, I see Real Avid as an overpriced hipster brand capitalizing on new and inexperienced shooters. However, I lost my Right Hand overseas in the military and finding tools they help me adapt and get the job done is crucial for me.While I don’t think this vise will ever be as good as my old, US made vise for heavy duty stuff. I.e. removing or torquing rifle or revolver barrels. It seems like a descent vise that should suit my needs for a small, versatile vise for cleaning, optic mounting, etc. As well as acting as a second hand for us cripple folk, as it turns out, hands are surprisingly useful and versatile. The attached photo is exactly what was in the box, less a 6 page brochure style manual. Nice they included foam/plastic jaw covers as well as carriage bolts (2-3/16”x 1/4”) for mounting. You still wouldn’t catch me using their “revolutionary” bore cleaning products. But I think this is a well executed and robust (within reason) product. Albeit maybe a tad pricey for a cast aluminum mystery alloy made in China product. Maybe I’m holding it to a higher standard that I should but, it is priced as a high tier product and labeled “Master”, but will it be jack of most (not all) trades and a master of none?. I will update when it’s got 30-40hrs on it and see how I like it. Or if it fails. Whichever comes first.

Sure, this isn't the cheapest vice, but from my perspective, it's real value for money.The build quality is superb.The versatility is superb.The firearms-centric design is superb.Buy once, use it for a lifetime and pass it along to someone to use for another lifetime.

Best Gun vise i have ever used. Easy to work with and well built.

This item replaced a home modified woodworking bench vise. What an improvement! This item is perfect for the average firearm owner who likes to do his gun cleaning and minor gunsmithing projects. Easy to install. It is best when installed on a permanent bench. Takes some learning for the 3 way adjustments. To get the most out of the unit purchase the additional slip on jaw covers. It flexes too much for heavy torquing operations but for 99.9% of gun shop operations is great.

I actually needed a vice like this in a very short amount of time. I wanted to go with the IQ Vise (360) but it just wouldn’t arrive in time for a project I had goin. So I went with this from Real Avid. I was extremely skeptical since everywhere you read its gun this and gun that. I’m not a gun owner, so if this was indeed only for guns, it would be a paper weight in my shop.You ask me this thing IS the IQ Vise just marketed differently, to be fair I’m going just by pictures and specs it seems to be almost identical and looks exactly the same. Same mechanisms to rotate (ball joint), same clamp/clasp to hold your position. EtcIt’s very adjustable, weight is great, performs as expected, very well made with quality material. I say this thing is for anything - not just guns.

Great product for home use. Does everything I need to work on my weapons. Recommend

Kind of pricey, but well made. Close toleranced, best if kept clean of metal particles, etc. with every use wipedown or air blasts! I hesitate to put full force required with some uses, but it is versatel and handles most hobby bench needs. I take heavy duty needs to a beefier heavy metal vise-

This vise amazing i have tried multiple ones but nothing beats the quality and grip on the guns like this one and they dont slip or break like the other ones due and dont damage it like the metal regular vise price wise too expensive but performance and adjustability i love it
