Pros & Cons
Pros
The vacuum base works great on formica/laminate surfaces. It has very good suction on laminate counters. Suction holds vise steady.
Panavise is superb for everything from soldering and small crafts to light drilling. Only had to replace mine because it was stolen. If you are an electronics hobbyist like me, this is a must have.
Great vise for modeler's w/o space. Vise works great.
Rotates, swivels. Provides plenty of adjustability and enough clamping power for what i need.
Cons
This thing is so much overpriced. Low quality and fortunately at least functional.
Highlights
Quality
Very pleased with the construction and look forward to using
I use it in conjunction with the heavy duty vice
With the plastic jaws i was even able to hold a small light bulb to solder wires to it
Yes there are cheaper versions but i dont think youll find the quality in those that youll find with panavise
Price
For the price i dont know of anything better
Competitiveness
I have had a panavise 381 for about 15 years
Perfect vise and panavise products are always well made and get those little clamping jobs done
I spent the money hoping for a solid wellmade tool
People are more quickly forgotten than the panavise 381

Thats great for adding stability to your workpiece but it limited us to boards less that 11 in width

The suction cup is very strong as long as your workbench top is smooth and doesnt budge an inch

I was fearful of buying something that i needed to be strong enough to hold small items and gentle enough to not mangle small items
