It is in the build quality and the matching between the parts. Yost is a good brand with different levels of quality that is reflected in the price.

The high end (red color) is forged from ductile iron (130,000 PSI strength) and not from cast iron. It is stronger and less prone to cracks. There are adjustment screws to control the level of "play" and the lead screw/nut seems to be better. They also have special jaws to hold pipes and the jaws are replaceable.

I have the following 3 metal working vises from Yost and they are really good and a great value in my experience/opinion:

6" Heavy-Duty Forged Steel Bench Vise

(the price is further down today to $153.90!!!)

4" Heavy-Duty Forged Steel Bench Vise
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E8IWTHC/?tag=atomicindus08-20
(almost the same price as the 6" today, buy the 6"!)

5" Heavy-Duty Multi-Jaw Rotating Combination Pipe and Bench Vise
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CBL62HQ/?tag=atomicindus08-20
(very good for pipe work and other large items)

I hope this helps.

Thanks a lot!

Or segmented by year like a few other threads:


Amazon Deals 2018








.


We should probably just start whining in the anti-whining alternative to the other thread, and demanding the few posters that contribute 90% of the deals to do things a different way. I'm sure that'll force them to do a better job in exchange for what we pay them.

Or... we could enjoy the free work they do and be thankful the last round of childish whining that created this thread didn't run the deal posters completely off.

Thanks for the deals fellas, I don't usually sound off about them because I get kind of greedy sometimes, but you're efforts are greatly appreciated by me, on both threads.

Does anyone know why this vise is listed as adi-6 but the description lists the fsv-6 ? Which vise is the one on sale?

"ADI" is the material Yost uses, the actual vice on sale is model #FSV-6. I have this vice and it is very nice. Well worth the sale price.
This is not what the yost site says.

The fsv-6 is forged and then welded the adi-6 is a single cast that is 45% stronger than the fsv-6 according to the yost site. The adi has a 130,000 psi the fsv is 90,000 psi tensile strength.

Edit

It seems that the adi versions replaced the fsv versions apparently Amazon still has stock of the 4,5,6 versions of the fsv but are sold out of ye fsv-7.


Edit2
Adi is China
Fsv is Taiwan

amazon is having a "12 days of deals" promotion. it is accessible off the home page at the top right:

Screen Shot 2018-12-02 at 10.24.19 .jpg


today, the first day, is home improvement, which includes tools, as well as non-tools;).


normally i would just provide a URL for you to jump to, but i make a habit of scrubbing URLs i pass along so that personally identifying information is not included. the URL i ended up with for this one is just a mess, so i decided to go about it this way instead.

have a good [insert year end holiday here].

I know I posted this just yesterday, but it dropped another $10, even further into 'best price' territory, so I'm considering it a deal again.

I'm contemplating buying another set. I don't need another set.

Current price at time of posting is just under $117.

Very well be because Knipex released new versions of some of the Plier Wrenches.
