Anyone have a Yost Reversible vise

[2dieseljohn]

As the title states I need opinions. I have been looking at getting a new USA made vise. Not because I need one, as I have , like many of you 3-4 USA old vises. I have never had a new one and would like to do my part in keeping the USA craftsmen working. While searching I found a Yost
http://www.yostvises.com/mechanics-...-reversible-combination-vise-swivel-base.html It seems it will fit the bill for what I do in the shop. I was able to find them for 1/2 the price on line. Has anyone played with one? Thanks in advance for your help.

If its made here by Yost, I gotta say its probably a quality vise. I never used or seen one.

I cant say anything one way or the other about the reversible model but if its made anywhere near as well as my Yost model 204 machinests vice then I would say go for it . My model 204 by the way is older than me and I am 44 . The amazing part is I can still get parts for it from Yost as they still make my vice today .

Thanks for the responses. I have never seen a Yost but it seems people that have then really love 'em. I can't stop thinking how handy this thing would be. I may have to pull the trigger and report back.
