Bessey has more than one line of vises. If you're referring to the Drop Forged BV-DF*SB vises from Bessey, the vises are likely high quality and far better than what is currently available from Craftsman. If you're referring to the regular grey iron vises from Bessey, there are probably better vises available from companies besides Bessey or Craftsman.

Well... I can't say it's the best quality, but for the price it works for me. It has a little slop in the jaws. At $63 it ain't no Wilton which is about $160.
