I wanted to compare these bench vises my way. I put these 12 vises through 3 different tests to identify their weak points. The first test is a maximum clamping force with just the handle. This is important because this is how well it will hold your work. The next test is a shock load test. You see all the weak points when you hit it with a big hammer. Then finally a maximum clamping force with a 4 foot cheater bar. The only way to find the weak spot is to break it. This was a really fun video to make. Thank you for watching and I can't wait to show you whats next.
