Yost Vises Y18SS Vise Screw | 18 Inch DIY Vise Tool | Solid Steel Main Screw with a Cast Iron Body Construction, Blue Metallic

This is a lovely vice screw. The style is traditional and heavy duty. I ordered 2. They will become the end vice on my workbench.

Great screw for a vise! I used one to make a leg vise for my woodworking bench. Rex Kreuger (on Youtube) has a video with plans that I used

We use this Vise Screw on our new work bench and it works just great, thank you!

Excellent leg vice screw for the money. It needs a flange for the screw to rest in when it's mounted to the table leg because the weight of the screw and the vice causes the screw to dig in the leg making it difficult to screw out after about 4 inches. I'd definitely buy another one.

This screw is faster than most metal screws, at 3 tpi. For comparison, the Veritas/Lee Valley vise screws are 5-6 tpi. This makes a big difference in how fast the vise will move.Compared to the Veritas/Lee Valley vise screw I have been using, the build quality seems about the same. I wish the Yost screw came with mounting hardware. #10 wood screws seem to work fine, and #12 screws would probably also work.If you are building a custom vise for your workbench, this is a very good option. Other metal screws the same price (e.g. Veritas/Lee Valley) are slower, nicer metal screws are much more expensive (e.g. Benchcrafted), and wooden screws are also much more expensive. This is a great choice for woodworkers on a budget.

So far, no complaints. Very durable

Relatively easy to install, and smooth to operate. I had to put a block above the screw under the bench to keep it from being pulled up too high by the weight of the vise when fully closed, but once I did that it has been excellent to use. Of course, there has to be some clearance in the threads for it to turn easily, so this 'slop' really isn't an issue, just something to be aware of in how you approach your vise design.

I decided to build a custom workbench for my shop and researched vises extensively before deciding I should add a leg vise to the project. This vise screw is the right size and length to give you plenty of width even when attached to a pretty thick table leg. You have a bunch of options for bracing the lower leg portion for the leverage component, but I chose to play with my welder and make life hard for myself. I'm very pleased with the auto-adjusting X brace, so if you want to use that, there are some sellers online who make custom ones. Very rewarding project, so I highly encourage you take advantage of this affordable device to make a very useful vise customized to your needs.

Good Quality, but with an Unrefined Finish. - The handle-hole needed to be Reamed for smooth operation.Good Price But Very Expensive to Ship across The Atlantic.

For this price I expected some really rough product - what I got was considerably better. The screw is highly polished, there is a slight burr left over but will go away with use. The only point where one might have to intervene, is in the interior of the short tube that houses the handle - you might want to sand this a little bit so that the handle moves smoothly. Very sturdy, highly recommended.

Good quality vice screw, well priced. I used it to build a leg vice and I would buy again if ever I need one.

Muy buena calidad de fabricación, la tuerca corre muy suave. 100% recomendable

I was Looking for a screw for my home made Roubo workbench leg vise. This product was cheaper than most others I found and looked exactly the same. It is a heavy duty screw and should stand up to many years of use. Would recommend it for this type of project.
