I've been beating on my 6" Chinalloy vise from HF for over 30 years
now and I've had no problems with it. I frequently use all 200 lbs on
the bar to secure things, too. No big.

I had one that went bad on me.

Did you return it and the second one works fine? Or did the second
also fail, so you returned it for your money back and bought something
else, I hope?

I did not feel comfortable returning it.

What with the thermite stains and all? I see your point.
