Description
Forged Steel Construction
This vise uses high-strength 90,000 PSI drop-forged steel, which has 26% higher tensile strength and 37% higher fatigue strength than cast iron. This makes for greater overall strength and long-term durability.
360 Rotating Swivel Base
The swivel base rotates a full 360 degree to accommodate any job at hand. It can be locked down at any point to give you ultimate versatility.
Machinist and Pipe Jaws
High-strength machinist and pipe jaws have stronger gripping power than other surfaces. Better yet, they are replaceable so the bench vise continues performing optimally even after years of service.

Fantastic vise especially with its price. No slip on mech and all parts in good alignment. Serious crunching force over 5klbs. Rotation is smooth and it has opposing rotation clamps and won’t even turn when clamped. Forged steel has beautiful weld job.

After breaking 2 inexpensive vises from big box stores and looking at all sorts of vises I decided to buy the 7″ Capri. The vise is made in Taiwan and forged steel, those were a couple of the reasons I chose these over the new red ones made in China from another company.
The workmanship, fit, finish and welds are excellent, the jaws are true and the mechanism smooth.
I like everything about this vise and 100% satisfied with it, I can see it lasting many years.
It is big, heavy and strong, exactly what a vise should be at a very good price.
My only gripe if I had to find one is the lack of jaw protectors in the 7 inch size, either live with the 6 inch or cut the 8 inch, no big deal.

The 6″ vise has an opening capacity of 8″ which is unheard of in a vise of this size. It is precise and strong with very little take up upon direction changes. Well worth the money! I just wish I had known to wait until double points weekend on such a big purchase!

Capri Tools is clearly a quality company in many ways. They provide an excellent product at a reasonable price, fast shipping with durable packaging, followed by great customer service. Capri Tools customer service sent me an email to ensure complete satisfaction after the product had been delivered, that’s unheard of these days. The 7″ vise arrived in perfect condition because of the incredible packaging, which is really amazing considering the weight of the vise. The Capri Vise (Taiwan) is a much better design than my old vise, which was made in China. Lastly, the new vise will take a beating and look great doing it!
