   I have a Harbor Freight swivel vise.  I use it about 50/50/50/5 with the   
   4" Columbia vise on the back other bench, the smaller Harbor Freight   
   swivel vise on the front bench, and the Zyliss vise on the machine room   
   bench.   
      
   Seriously its a great universal vise for most casual handyman types, but   
   the center rotation took a while to get used to.  You would think the   
   bottom jaws would be more use with its pipe jaws, but I haven't used   
   them in years.  Good thing too.  One of those internal jaws fell out,   
   and I have no idea where it is.  I'll have to make one before I can use it.   
      
   I would say for machine shop secondary work I like the fixed Columbia   
   best, but not by as much as you might think.  I think for most people   
   who just want to have a vise in case they might need one, the larger   
   Harbor Freight swivel vise is a lifetime vise.   
      
   This one, although from the picture it looks like the pipe jaws are cast   
   in now instead of a separate part.

   They also have a heavier version for a hundred dollars more in their   
   Doyle line.

   Funny.  Except for the paint color (mine is blue) mine looks more like   
   the Doyle than its name sake Central Machinery current version.
