When I got this out of the box I was surprised at how heavy it is. It's a robust piece of gear. I read the instructions after I had started to play with it,(typical bloke). However after a few minutes putting it up and taking it down again it became second nature. It is really stable and can hold work up to 3ft in width. The jaws can hold delicate items requiring little pressure, to heavier items.As the jaws can exert up to a tonne of pressure. It seems to be well put together and comes in a strking shade of orange, and when folded up and stood on its end has a smaller footprint than the old workmate it has replaced.The only down side is the price, so shop around. If required there are other vice jaws available seperatly, such as engineers jaws and log jaws.
