It's OK, but know what you're buying

This vise is alright, but nothing spectacular. Even though it's aluminum mostly it still has some weight to it, which you always want in a vise. The handle is very comfortable and allows a good grip. The long slots allow easy positioning on the drill press table. The jaws are non marring, but do have V grooves to hold round stock. Jaw width is 4", height is 1-1/2", opening is 4".

Now, what I don't like about it is that the action isn't very smooth. The quick release button sometimes needs fiddling with for the screw to move, and tuning the handle to screw the jaws tight sometimes presents binding. The two rods the jaw rides through also present an issue. The gap between them is *wide* at 2-3/16". If your stock isn't at least that wide, it'll fall through unless you put a narrower (than your stock) piece of wood/metal under what you're drilling to span the distance. The whole mechanism does have quite a bit of "slop" built into it, but that's probably a consequence of the quick release design.

Personally, I wouldn't purchase this due to the issues I have with it, BUT, as long as you know what you're getting and are fine with it, the product isn't bad. I think the price is fair what it is. Again, be aware of the limitations and idiosyncrasies before you buy and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Don't get me wrong, I'll probably buy another one, but it is far from "top of the line". I do think that it's worth the money.

The TCL is cheap in price and you probably already have appropriate expectations. Be clear though - if you have any secret hopes that this set will turn out to be a "find" and surprise you with a better picture than the price suggests - that won't happen. It's not a rip off. It's just a crummy little television for people who don't wish to spend much money.

PROS:

- It works and it's bright.

CONS:

- The viewing angle is poorer than I expected since I had found a review claiming it was good.

- The color can't be set correctly from the user controls, (and an ISF calibration - if it's even possible - would cost more than the set). That's true of a lot of TV's, but since the digital era I've often been surprised with the color accuracy of low end sets. No surprises here.

- It has a perfectly adequate user interface (menus, etc), but it's hard to use because the remote buttons are poorly debounced. You sometimes get unexpected results from it, like accidentally pressing twice on a selection. It can be frustrating.

- The internal firmware is kind of "amateur" for lack of a better way to characterize it. One arbitrary example, (I could give many others): it has a setting that will cause the backlight to brighten and dim based on the current image. But it is implemented poorly and there is so much obvious brightening and dimming of the output that it's too distracting to use. Like many TCL features, it's in there, but it does not seem to have been implemented by an engineer who was the shiniest coin in the fountain.

Summary:

If you're oblivious to picture color accuracy (not being cute - many or most people are), and don't plan to watch at much of an angle, then this will give you the biggest brightest picture you can get for the money.

I was buying this at the suprmarket and thought I'd check on here. While it is not huge savings, it's still a savings that builds with time.

Know what you want and this will work. There are other options out there for about the same price. If you want Gov Issue this isn't it.

It's ok. But you can find another good options, specially for this price. Be aware and always compare with competitors before you buy.

It is good. If you're going to import this into a country which bleeds you dry with taxes, such as Brazil, it may not be as good as you'd expect since you're paying three or four times the original value. However, for the original price it would be a steal.

the quality is average. It is okay to buy it. You will be fine for price wise.

5 stars if the price drops, but back when I bought it was a bit much for what you get IMO.

I suppose its good, though its nothing revolutionary. Honestly the price just doesnt seem to justify the product, but again it does as intended.
