Product Description
The Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) series of professional grade bench vises is constructed out of 130,000 PSI Tensile Strength Austempered Ductile Iron and is at least 45% stronger than the Yost FSV (forged steel) vise series. ADI castings are (1) continuous cast, precision machined, whereas the FSV series was forged then welded together. The ADI line of vises is equipped with replaceable machinist and pipe jaws. Adjustable hardened guide rails provide smooth, precise operation. The durable powder coat finish provides a professional finish that helps prevent damage from weather. The ADI base features two lockdowns for a tight grip.
I have owned this vise for almost 2 years now and I am 100% satisfied. The price was reasonable compared to the other "Name" brands. I could not justify spending $1000's for a vise I use 5% of the time, but I didn't want a cheap Chinese made one that would not last and likely fail/break. This is a high quality vise and the 130KSI ADI should be problem free for my lifetime and beyond. I keep the metal surfaces oiled up to eliminate the possibility of rust and it still looks brand new.
