2000 dollar vice because it's pretty? No thanks. I'll stick with the fireball.

There actually wasn't a Wilton Bullet vise in the test. There were several new Wilton vises of different grades/cost and it looked like maybe there was one older Wilton but there wasn't a Wilton Bullet vise, or the model everyone refers to as the Bullet vise, The older one did well across the board. I have several original Wilton bullet vises, I even have one I got from my old neighbor that is new in the box, its at least 50 years old, he brought it home from work back in the early 70's.Wilton bullet vises are not what I/we always thought they were cracked up to be. "Cracked" pun intended
I used to think a vice/vise was good for crushing things. Then I read that they are not made for that use
I would have sworn he did one with a bullet but I can’t seem to find it so mby I was mistaken.There actually wasn't a Wilton Bullet vise in the test.
No. I have the welded together model.https://www.fireballtool.com/products/compact-hardtail-vise-6?variant=44832579485740
Have you used this compact one?
That does look like a great value on a strong vise.No. I have the welded together model.
No but there was a newer Wilton in it that kind of resembled the bullet vise but it was quite a bit shorter but had the tapered end. to be honest like has been stated above this video's point vast to try and make the vise fail, most people will never come close to that... but it was eye opening and you got to see the internal parts and the weak points.I would have sworn he did one with a bullet but I can’t seem to find it so mby I was mistaken.
I'd be curious how the Wilton Machinist vice would have held up in that test. Wouldn't change my opinion though, the fireball vice always wins on these torture tests but it is useless so many times in the shop because of the shallower jaws.Wilton bullet vises are not what I/we always thought they were cracked up to be.
