Product Description
The Yost Vises V-275 is a portable 2-3/4-Inch Jaw Width Vise. This vise features a vacuum base that allows it to mount to a variety of smooth work surfaces (laminates, steel, granite, glass). The vacuum seal for mounting will only work with wood or other grained surfaces. The vise head swivels 360-Degree and can pivot 90-Degrees. This allows you to work on multiple angles of small part without removing the part from the vise jaws. Soft vise jaws are included for holding parts without marring. Body parts are precision die cast. Vacuum base is operated with steel lever to actuate vacuum. For optimal vacuum operation the rubber base should be cleaned regularly to remove dust and other debris. A few drops of water can be added to the base for the best vacuum holding force.

While the vice part worked just fine that unit, as received, cannot be used as there is no way to hold it in place while working
I will be sending it back and looking for an alternative...

It's heavy enough for what I use it for, a 2nd hand as I am disabled on my right side.
Top reviews from other countries
For the hobby I plan on using it for it's heavy enough that this does not matter. Otherwise I would have had to return it.
I notice that it's gone up significantly in price since I bought it, probably due to the shipping cost: I would have chosen a different vise at the current price.
Yost tech support were very helpful. Recommend the company if not the packing of this particular product.
