Rough and Clumsy
It's certainly solid, and appears to be accurate enough if you're repairing farm machinery... Poorly finished slide, grinding dust everywhere and the handle doesn't fit the 'hex' on the screw. I haven't bothered trying to assess if anything is machined square or flat; the answer is likely a definitive 'nope'. The fixed jaw has an undercut in front of it, so using parallels less than 3/8" wide is impossible. Usual old adage I suppose; buy cheap, buy twice. I'll have to invest in a proper vise and use this as an interesting door stop I think.

Have not had the opportunity to use it yet
Seems to be built well

Good and solid, heavy and stable.
Have yet to set it up, but seems well built. Lots of mass, no excessive play or movement, so it should hold its setting. Not sure about accuracy of scales, will have to update at a later date.
