Does Bench Vise Price Matter? $60 vs $500 Units Tested (Head-to-Head!)

If there’s something noteworthy about people who love cars, it’s that most of us love our tools as well. It doesn’t matter if you’re a fan of imports or domestic; cars or trucks. Someone who wants to have a well-oiled machine is going to probably have a pretty decent set of tools to match. Well, at least that’s the goal over time as some of this stuff can get rather expensive and tools are always evolving.

For most of us, building a collection of tools is something that happens over the years. Sometimes, we’re fortunate enough to have a couple of hand-me-downs but even then, even the best hand-me-downs can be improved upon. With that, we combine what we know and love with new technology that’s constantly coming on the market. At the end of the day, we all hope to have that toolset that can make every job go by as smoothly as possible.

With that concept comes the need to get the best value possible.

Some of us definitely have our favorite brands and will forever remain loyalists. However, other folks are out there searching for a good deal and are willing to step outside of their comfort zone in order to get that deal. However, the question remains of if it’s an area that’s worth saving a little bit of money or not. At the end of the day, if we take this test for example, if everything was exactly the same, it would be pretty excessive to purchase the most expensive unit in this test at $500 when the $60 unit is exactly the same. Naturally, though, in most cases, different offerings don’t end up being exactly the same. The promise of a good deal definitely has our attention, though.

Fortunately, in this scenario, we have YouTube channels like Project Farm that come together in order to show us what the best possible cordless ratchet is. They have become known as a cornerstone of testing videos on YouTube that compares some of the most popular options to see if it’s worth shopping for a deal! This time, the topic of the day is the bench vise. Will one unit stand out among the pack to conquer its competitors or will the different price points offer a similar product?
