>I see.The 52 is the little guy.LV shows them on their website but the part numbers are different.They don't even mention the number 52 or 53.Unless I looked in the wrong place.I really don't need a new vice but I have an auxiliary bench with a rinky-dink vice that could use an upgrade.Even that little one sure is a hefty piece of equipment.thanks---Crackerjack

>It's plenty of vise for small to medium sized projects on a smallish bench. I saw one on a luthier's bench and played with it a few minutes. It was surprising strong.
