I wasn't expecting too much from the reviews and knowing this is all plastic. For light work its great and very easy to work with during projects. You can put the vise in differently than the photo shows allowing your to quickly remove it from the bench or desk and take it to the drill press or wherever. As discussed its not for super heavy duty work where you need a metal vise.

More solid than I expected,

This is a 'rotary tool multi-vise' which is an accurate description of this product--a multiple position clamp/holder for rotary tool projects.

So far this little vise has been just what the Dr ordered. It holds the dremel tool securely to my work surface, keeping my hands free to hold the project. It will also hold the project well when the item is too small to hold in my hands. Great item - watch for sales or bonus buys to make this an even better deal.
