    Esquire, I missed your posting in the crush, sorry about not recognizing it. I agree about the Griffin 2A my second vise was a 2A I bought it for about 25 as it was one that had been a display model, had to pick up an O ring for it. It is a great little vise.

    The Terra Silverado, retails at this point for under our $50 limit, but it is close enough to count and other reviews that I found agree with your opinion of this vise.

    Thanks for your input to this thread
