It's the vise that I use the most. It's definitely a very good vise, whether it's the vise that best suits your needs depends on what those needs are. The downside to me is that there's really no good place to rest my left hand, and that if you're using a material clip, it's got to be pretty far away from the hook. Those are real nits; you'd have to spend hundred more to get a better vise.
