Yeah the contrasts are pretty awesome. You can see the value in both products since they both work for different needs. I just honestly don't see much value in the really cheap tools even if they're a lot less cost, because the value isn't there. If it breaks after not much use, then they are kind of worthless imho. I respect he isn't doing product placement so there's no 'bought' reviews. Just like any of us using them.

@@Knight_Kin agreed. You get what you pay for. If this YOST lasts 5 years on average (replacing every five years) it’s a pretty good deal-you’d get 55 years of use for the same money as the SnapOn. If you had to replace every 2 years, not so much.

Your videos are a godsend for people like me who didn't have an active father figure in my life when I was growing up.

I bet you if wranglerstar was to read this, if he pulled the movable jaw assembly out and looked at the square key on the bottom that it WILL have a date code, meaning it is in fact a Wilton bullet vise made for snap on.

I started watching this video after work tonight and ended up watching you build one of the most beautiful work benches ever. Great job. Gave me some great ideas and inspiration for a new bench. Keep it up W. God bless you and your family.

Vices, gripping content! 😄 Thank you, Thank you, Im here all week.

Great comparison. I can't imagine spending $800 for a vice. I've had my vice for 30 years which isn't even as nice as your new Yost and I've never once thought that I needed a better one. Enjoyed the video. Keep them coming.

Restoring an good old vise is a cheap option as well and it makes very good practice. I am a beginning maker at 18 years old and restored 5 vises by now. It's nice to find an old Heuer vise or blacksmiths vise and to restore it. Besides that it's a real joy to see an rusty vise turn into a like-new one. I recommend an angle grinder with a wire wheel, this will do a lot of work for you. I also think it's good that old tools get a new life instead of buying new things all the time. Old tools which are not broken or something like that are also made of a much higher quality that new, cheap tools these days. So for the long run restoring an old tool might be the best option

I personally would get the Yost 855 or even the ADI-4 as both of those are stronger and also have a lifetime warranty, as opposed to the 750e 1 yr warranty. The steel is 400% stronger on the Yost ADI-4, and 200% stronger on the Yost 855. If you need a big vise, the 855 is the best deal @ $135, but if you can get by with the ADI-4 (4"), its so strong it will last multiple generations for $109.

Keep fighting the good fight, Wranglerstar! Unbiased reviews with honest commentary are a rare breed, and you have a lot of experience to share to boot.

I love my Yost 906. I bought it a few years ago at the recommendation from my grandfather as he said to always get a cast steel vise if I really wanted to use it a lot. It cost a little more at $100, but it is worth every penny.

I love how Snap-on put their logo and markup all over that Wilton vise.

How many people want to see a Snap On vise restoration video?? I'd love to see that Snap On look new, then compare it to the Yost.

You are going a great job giving us honest opinions about items to better our lives with. I appreciate integrity in your videos. Keep up great work. Thanks, John

I remember your old snap-on vice vid. It took about a year to find one but got it for 60 bucks.

I have the Yost 455! I chose it off of Amazon last year for my home shop. It is perfect for my needs. I was so pumped to see you chose the same one Cody!

Seems like a small nice little unit! I have a small 5 inch Wilton vice that mainly used to hold my chainsaw bar when Im sharpening so I wouldn't need anything super beefy. I do like how it rotates 360. Mine only rotates so many degrees each direction and the 360 is nice for sure! Thanks for a great video as always

I bought the YOST M7WW nearly two years ago. It has been FANTASTIC.

This vise seams like a great value, thanks for the insight!

ohhh man you have hit the nail on the head with "me specific" content these last few videos. I have been planning to build a new bench and buy a vice for quite a few weeks now

That does look like a great deal. I have a 7" vice I paid like $120 for. oddly it looks basically like the Yost one. I'd say the Yost will get the job done for most any DIYer. nice find!

Very honest and wise approach to this evaluation. By contrast I have just watched another video posted on KZread where a guy destroyed by sledge hammering and over tightening using like a 5 foot pipe more than a dozen good vises just to see when they would break!

Just finished restoring a wilton 3.5 " machinist vise. Love it.

I have that same vise but I have the 6 1/2 in, my wife paid like 60 something last December for a Christmas gift, I absolutely love it!

Ive been watching for the last 4 years and i gotta say, this is the first place i come to if i'm on the fence about any tool. I also really enjoy the Cheapest vs Expensive. it gives us a chance to try before we buy and honestly thats great. If anyone who comes to your channel only to cry and moan about product placements are just clueless and have no idea how the world works. i think it would be great to see you make money while giving a honest review because i know you will keep the integrity and commitment to us and you always will.

I mounted the mechanic's vice on a T made of 2x4's and had a wood working vice mounted on the bench. This lets us use the mechanic's vice when we need it and have a clean bench when we take it off

From an Ex Snap-On dealer, you’re buying a Wilton. With that being said, the usual case is if Snap-On doesn’t make the best, they rebrand the best. So if you can find a used Snap-On vise for a relatively good deal, buy it!

I just inherited a Starret 924 from my dad. It lived in a machine shop in Lockheed in Marietta Ga since the 50s. Currently giving it a good overhaul now.

These comparison videos are my favorite!

Thank you soooo much!!! this is just what I wanted! I am working on my garage counter top work bench right now!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

I've had a fairly inexpensive 5" Wel-Bilt vice from Northern Tool for the past 20+ years. I knew going in that at some point it was going to break and I'd be shopping for a new one. The other day I greased and oiled it, and it's still working like a champ.

I love my Yost vises. I have an 8" on my garage bench and a 4.5" on my gun bench.

Fair play to you for not chasing the sponsorship/endorsement/patreon dollar. Just good quality, informative videos. Keep up the good work

I don’t have or really use a vise and even I’ve heard the Yost brand. Nice selection. This series has been excellent. I’m going through past videos, looking for recommendations for an air compressor for occasional use but good enough for tires and eventually air tools.

Added some sheet felt from McMaster-Carr - fantastic for using my vise to clamp tender items such as gun stocks or barrels. All the holding power you’ll ever need.

I am almost ashamed to say that my workbench has the smallest vice Hazard Fraught sells, except that I haven't needed anything bigger just yet.

Those old Wilton/Snap-on vises are still made, but like you said, 10 times the cost. Very Good video, as someone who has bought and sold, probably thousands, of vises over 30 years I can say you did an excellent job of real facts and presentation. Excellent Job sir.

I recently found a Columbia Red Arrow. Mounted up just like you use in the woodshop to chuck up in my Irwin bench vise

I've had experiences with different yours of vises. My first two were from harbor freight. The first was a big one with vertical and horizontal swivel capacity and pipe Jaws. It was a good vise but the lock screw to keep the jaws from rotating stripped out after one year. Stupid as I was I put it on the curb I should've taken it back they'd have given me a new one. Anyway the other one was a 6 inch woodworking vice it's worked like a charm since I got it. My other vises we're found on FB marketplace or acquired for free. The free one is a real classic. It's a huge Morgan Chicago. Probably 100 years old and we'll maintained by it's owners. It was left on a bench in the basement of the home my friends recently bought. It's not a Wilton but for sure my sons and their sons will use it.

I got spoiled working at the Hanford Nuclear Res for 31 years. We used the Wilton 400S or 600S vice. When I retired I bought a 400S for my shop bench, no regrets.

Fireball Tool just did a good vise test with several different brands.

I have 3 vises, a Wilton that looks just like yours, an old Yost that's probably getting close to a hundred years old and a really old Chas. Parker that weighs about 200 lbs. All 3 are great vises but my go to always seems to be the Chas. Parker. It's massive and indestructible, opens about 10 inches yet operates smoothly and precise, for the monster that it is. Great video, though. I always look at garage sales and auctions for things like that. There are some great deals to be had, if you look hard enough!

I would not accuse you of product placement, I like how honest you are. Also you were the inspection well one of the inspections to my other channel that I probably should have used to make this comment. Oh well.

I remember Cody honestly reviewing a few new products he was sent to try...well they did ask for his honest opinion 😂😉 some were good, some were bad......and a few were very ugly. Nice review and an interesting point on the swivel mechanism 👍

I have a Harbor Freight 5" swivel with both straight and pipe jaws. Love it. Choose what you buy from HF carefully. $70

Just found your channel. Love it. Really enjoy your way of discussing things and thinking long term for the future of craftsmen and craftswomen also of course.

I feel lucky, I picked up a 5.5" IRWIN swivel vise for $5 canadian at an estate sale.

Just bought a yost 750e... glad to see you appreciate the brand.

If you want to save a few hundred dollars on the “snap-on” vice you can get the Wilton. Same vice that Wilton rebrands for snap-on.

I broke my Wilton a couple months ago. It wasn’t that hard. I had bought that one in the mid 1990’s. I got an Irwin from Lowe’s (also has a tag that says- Rocord since 1909 on it). So far so good and it does get used a lot.

Where I work they have a load of wilton vises from the 70s and they all work great still.

Thank you for your series of what to put on your bench. I've been looking for a decent vice for an occasional use on my bench. I already have a drill press set up and looking at both a jointer & plainer and finally a bandsaw to complete it. Not a professional, but I like to tinker on the weekends and evenings. I just ordered it through Amazon - $84.25 + tax

Found myself a "Matador 100" vice for 8,50€ (10 dollars) few weeks ago, didn't even realize how good it was before I took a closer look. Will serve me well at my small shed.

I bought a vice at Harbor Freight for like 50 bucks and it's pretty good Vice works good. 👍

Guessing a lot of that cost is cast iron VS forged steel?

great video, Cody, I will most likely build this table, a variation of it, or use your suggestions on outfitting it. But I will say I do see ads for loctite when a bottle floats across the screen.

The german Heuer or Linen vises are the best! They cost a bit more but they are durable and precise!

Love the Record no5 I have. Christmas gift from my father back in 1992. Have replaced 100 u joints give or take a few bent metal 3/8 by 2 in to 90 degrees by smashing it with a 5 lb hammer. This thing is an anvil with jaws.

You guys should check out the Fireball tool fixture table vise. 120 bucks and he tests it to 10000 lbs of force before it broke. It’s very impressive for the money. It’s forged to not cast iron.

I always buy cheap tools where ever I can, even when I used to work in car repairs, I would strip them down fix the parts that needed upgrading and hey presto a good tool. So a cheap vise is all I've pretty much ever used, the one thing I have found about some of these cheap vises is that due to the type of metal used they can snap, especially where you have those pounding plates, hit it too hard and crack. So something to be aware of, but I dare say it may be similar with the more expensive vise as well.

If I were looking for a top end vice, I wouldn't be looking at Snap-On. For what that cost you are into the realm of machinist vices that can maintain accuracy in the thousandths of an inch if not better. If you just need a heavy duty shop vice, there are a lot to be had in the 3-4 hundred dollar range that are a lot better than either of those.

been watching you channel thank you for charing, thank you for your integrity, I will make sure to hit the thumb up like on every new video! Thank you!

Awesome video. I am shopping for a vise. This was super helpful. Thanks!

The vs stuff is cool please keep doing it

I just got the Yost ADI 4in vise off of Amazon for $115 or so. It's made of austempered ductile iron which is MUCH stronger than cast iron, cast steel, and even forged iron. The jaws open wide and have a lot of clamping force. Plus the pipe jaws and all internal part are also replaceable. The Fireball Tool channel tested a bunch of vises to destruction, including the 5in version of my vise a few days ago. It held up extremely well, beating most of the other more expensive vises. The only failure point (after absurd abuse) was a soft iron strap that holds the vise body to the swivel base, (the vise in this video has the same swivel system) but after looking at it myself, that part would be extremely easy to upgrade by replacing with, or welding on, a small slab of 3/8 mild steel. They tested impact resistance, clamping force, and maximum durability by tightening the vise to failure. The adi placed in the top 3 in all categories out of 10 or 12 vises I think. And the first place was a home made behemoth made out of half inch plate and square tube. Great video, I highly recommend it.

I’d highly recommend you go to your local flea markets or swap meets. You can usually find great vises from the likes of Wilton, for a good deal. Some may need more restoring than others - but a good vise can always be rebuilt/restored, so I wouldn’t even worry if you have the time. Just make sure the main body components that aren’t replaceable are in good condition, no cracks, or large chips.

I am a home gamer that welds presses bearings uses grinders etc and my HF vice gets it done. I have the rotating one which is helpful. I would like a nice heritage vice but they are so expensive.

Thanks for the comparison!

I got my vice from the previous house owner as they didn't take it as they are pretty old. The house is made in the 50s so I guess the vice is too.

L purchased the same vise a rew years ago. when applying to much pressure with a adapter bar, I broke the vice in half. and had to get a new one, I'm more careful now.

Have you looked at Harbor Freight 5in multi purpose vice? $79. This multi-purpose vise has two sets of jaws to clamp fast on pipes or square stock. The jaw head swivels 360º for precise positioning and the 5 in. wide jaws have a diamond pattern for a firm grip on your workpiece. With a swivel base this multi-purpose metalworking vise can be rotated for easy access to the anvil. 5 in. wide jaw with diamond pattern face Jaw head swivels 360 deg. Pipe jaw capacity: 2 in. Jaw throat depth: 2-3/4 in. 360 deg. swivel base with twin lock-downs Anvil with milled face Pre-drilled holes to bolt down to bench top

Just a tip for anyone looking for a good vise or good cheap tools, go to an auction or estate sale, they don’t care about that kind of stuff and I managed to buy an old but heavy and functional vise for around $35. I’ve bought snap on wrench sets for $10-$25, yes the WHOLE SET.

Wilton (maker of that snap on vise) just recently stopped making that vise in the USA! A lot of places still have the USA made ones in stock but they won't last long. I just grabbed one for my work. It is a Wilton Tradesman 1750? I think.

The $77 vise also has replaceable parts. It just cost $77 for every part you want to replace with labor included in replacing the part.
