Pros & Cons
Pros
Build quality is superb. Final finishing and the finish itself are a little less than they used to be but it's pretty minor. Very pleasantly surprised.
Heavier than it looks in the pics, eliminates the need to bolt the attached panavice to the workbench for anything i use it for. It's built solid and mounted to vise perfectly.

Small parts tray is convenient for holding screws and such. Works great, screw down mount or leave it moveable. The trays are great for holding small parts for projects.

I have to agree with a previous reviewer the base needs to be drilled for the magnetic mount

Having to drill these holes holes for myself when it would be a simple step in the machining process to drill them during manufacturer means the design needs to have a little bit of additional thought put into it

I thought it might take up too much space on my bench but it doesnt seem to use much more space than the vise alone

At first i tried the cheap alligator clip holders that you see all over the internet which i actually saw highly recommended on some websites

My electronics hobby consisted of fighting with that tool more than actually soldering and working on projects

However i am now actually having a blast with my electronics work as opposed to it being an exercise in anger management
