Eclipse Professional Tools EWWQR7 7-Inch Quick Release Woodworking Vise

Best budget woodworking vise. It stands out for cast iron body at a price close to import bench vises meant for metalworking and quick release speeds up repeated clamping cycles. One caveat, jaw alignment needs occasional shimming to stay square.
