It's a Wilton and made in USA for $35 so that's good but the jaw opening is only 3 1/2" which isn't much. I'd look for something better if it was me.

Nope. I've got that exact vise, paid $1 for it IIRC with a bunch of other junk and would be glad to get $10 for it. Its an ultra-light hobby vise (20 lbs maybe?), your 12 year old could break it in half with a small ball pein so if you do buy it, DONT hammer on it or expect it to clamp anything too solid.
