This ball vise is a bargain for anyone starting out in engraving on a budget. I do not own any of the high end brand vises, but I have little doubt this vice is not as precisely made as its expensive competition.I have included a picture of what I received in the box. The maker went to great lengths to convince you it is a well known high end brand, but after comparing the parts breakdown to the vice, they are not the same.Hopefully if you are getting into engraving you have some skill working with metal, and you will have the ability to tune this vice "kit" and make it into a tool that will be much more pleasant to work with.Things I have identified that need to be done to mine....tightening up the fit of the jaws in the top grooves, and removing the top of the vise and cleaning/greasing the bearings.The fit of the jaws in the channel they run in is a bit sloppy for my tastes. The fit side to side appears to be much better then it is up and down. If you rock the jaw back to front there seems to be excessive movement, and I am concerned that will allow the jaws to work loose with the vibration from engraving. I plan to take a punch and peen the side of the jaw (on top of the side rail...front and back) so it fits better in the groove it slides in. I am sure this will take a little fitting and fine tuning but should make the jaws fit much more solidly.With a little sweat equity I think this will be a very nice vise at a fraction of the cost of the big name competition.
