The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other hand tools and workshop hand tools we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Rolin 4-1/2 inch is the muscle of this group. It weighs 4.77 kilograms, about 10.5 pounds, several times heavier than the small clamps here, and that mass usually translates to a more stable, capable bench vise.
It also rates the best of the bunch on quality: a 4.6-star average from 672 reviews. At $33.99 it is at the top of the group's price band, but it is matched by the heaviest build and a 4-1/2 inch size in the model name. No material or jaw-capacity detail is listed beyond that size and weight, so the specifics of throat depth and opening are not confirmed.
