Yost RIA-4 vise thoughts?

[mayday0017]

Putting together my Christmas Wish List for family and friends and noticed Yost RIA-4 vise on sale at sears for 1/2 price and toss a $5 off coupon on top of that it seems like one hell of a deal.

Then I went to playing on the manufacture website and noticed it is NOT USA made like 99% of their other vises....

No one is going to be able to afford to buy me a USA made vise for christmas, so the question is should I put this YOST on my list because they are a quality brand and ignore the fact it isn't USA made?

Or is it going to be Junk and should remove it from my christmas list and wait until one day I find a Wilton vise used for almost free?

tell them to buy used and get what you want

I'd skip it just because it is a tiny vise. Though it has 4" jaws it only opens to a little over 2" and has a similar depth. Wait for something better.

keep looking for used, but look at other brands than wilton. Yost is nice and mostly michigan made.

Yost's reversable jaw vises look nice and are USA made. They are $200-330 depending on size from Northern. About the lowest price for a USA mad vise new.

It's an upgrade from what I have now, at least in some aspects, so I got it. I have limited space so it will work for me. When I need something bigger, I don't mind getting a new Wilton or waiting for a great deal.
