Works nicely.

Id NOT be slamming on em with a big sledge hammer..but for normal
field work..or on the bench....pretty damned good

It makes my back hurt, just looking at it. I don't bend down that

anymore.

I had a large vise on a hitch mount that I traded away because it was
so inconvenient. Now I cobble up a mount for an old blacksmith's leg
vise to work outdoors. It supports the work at a better height and can
be braced to hold bulky three-dimensional objects like a mower deck.
