how easy does the clamping head rotate?

Directly behind the clamping head is a handle that faces downward. Pull the handle outward and rotate the clamping head. When you have the clamping head in the desired position push the handle down to re-lock the clamping head.

In response to your question, very easily. The holding feature is meshed together like gears, and when released, moves freely in either direction,

This is a product worth buying. I'm a tough judge, and I'm happy with all the clamping parts. It's not meant for commercial use, but I'm happy. The clamping head rotates easily.

It rotates very easily, the clamp on mine broke when I put my downhill bike on it (50 lbs)

If you are wondering if the clamping head turns easily with the bike in place, it doesn't it's very secure.when the bike is in the clamp you can also rotate the bike just make sure have a good hold on the bike so it doesn't fall over. When there is no bike in the clamp it is very easy to rotate and locks down securely,

It is best to rotate the head to the angle that you want it at or close to it before you clamp your bike into the head. But it rotates rather easily for a lighter bike. I can rotate my road bikes with no problem. But my Mountain bikes are more difficult to rotate. It is a weight thing.

Hi, Yes, it can be quite difficult. :-( The last time I did it, I ended up using a pair of large pliars. It's also hard to remember which way to turn it, because it is, sort of, upside down. Try to move the part closest to you from right to left. Once you loosen it a little it gets easier.

It is not very hard. You just fiddle with it and eventually it locks into place. It will take you an extra 20 seconds to figure it out, which is well worth the cash savings on the purchase! Don't worry about it, you won't have any issues.

easy-it is just a little thumbscrew with ridges. It is not hard to turn and does not require a tool.

Yes, the mount connects to the clamp base by a ball and socket, so you can rotate it any way you need to

There is a tap screw at the base of the center of the column. If its loose, the whole deal rotates easily.

It is not difficult at all. Very easy. Lotta 'turning' involved because of the screw type lift assembly; but does turn very easy. Would not be worth it to invest the extra money in a hydraulic system, in my opinion.

Yes, no tools required. Just have to go through the procedure to set or remove the clamps properly.

I expanded the holder to the maximum width the clamp can go and I came up with 1.375 inches or 3.4925 centimeters. There are 3 base settings that you can position the rotating clamp. Once you adjust it to one of the 3 notches you can move the twist able adjuster for a snug fit. Hope that helps.

Yes. It took a couple of minutes to figure out (to see where the locking pins are), but it was pretty easy. If something does not move easily, there is probably a pin holding it in place. Find the pin to release it.

Yes, it can be a little difficult but if you rotate it as you push it or pull it. You can move it alone fairly easy especially after u do it a couple of times. Otherwise it is a pretty decent product

Yes very easy, just hold line reel and turn hand to loosen then take off and put on other side.

Very easily. Two screws go through well position holes into threaded holes on the handle. Tighten with a philups head screw driver. That's the X head screw driver.

Yes, if you are asking about the base rotation right and left. The right/left rotation is not smooth because the internal parts have teeth. That is you must loosen both locks and lift the vise to rotate. This is more work to rotate the vise, but you do not have to hit the lock bars with hammer to be sure it stays in place while working.

Yes, there is a lever on the head that is easy to move. I think the photo of it shows the lever.

Just received mine, and it snapped together and turns easily.Make sure yours is fully snapped down - if the end isn't all the way out, it will create friction rather than allow the rotating section to turn.

Im very happy with it. Im mostly using it in place of a joiners vise, and it accels. Though not apparent by its look, the clamping pressure is very responsive, and can be controlled easily. I think they even clamp in a raw egg on a promo video I saw. It can tilt a bit if you are torquing on it, like bending pipe, but that can be mitigated by putting your foot in the stirrup thing at the end of the front leg.
