That looks identical to the one I have. Bought mine at J and L a couple of years ago. It lives up to its rating. My main frustration with it is that every adjustment uses a different size wrench. Maybe they are starting to design by committee in China. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smile.gif"%20alt="[/img]

Ralph,
Thanks for your input. Did you mount on permanent bench or on a mobile base?

I mounted it on a 2"x2" tube frame that is 30" wide x 84" long. It is on casters so I can take it to the job or store it. Has a locking mechanism to keep me from chasing it. The extra length has a raised section that provides a work table. It has a socket in it for mounting a bead roller, forming blocks, etc. A lower shelf under all is used for storing tools and related tooling. It is made from 2"x2" angle with a plywood bottom. The lip on the angle keeps stuff from falling while its being moved.
