YOST Bench Vise Install - Jimbos Garage

[@Jeff_Seely]

The Yost 750-DI bench vise will bring a big smile, knowing that they still make one of the best, most versatile there are! Also installing it the correct way (as you did, imho) will give you years of safe and good work. Slow is fast...fast is smooth! Good work my friend! Hopefully a few of our young folks will recognize it!

[@frederickburns1739]

Well you bought a YOST which is ductile iron and about double the tensile strength of cast iron. Good choice of design I just purchased that style myself.

[@JeffHeiden]

Nice work on the install. Thanks for the clear explanation! I'm getting ready to mount a old vice I picked up from a garage sale!

[@DeePsix501]

"Configurated" love the channel Jimbo! Just mounted my vise using it for guidance

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching, Nice!! Jimbos garage!

[@kountrytiger1999]

really like the pin for locking into position wish mine had that good looking vise

[@Kamal_AL-Hinai]

i think you're really under-rated, you're amazing!

[@tewilk]

Looks like a Mini Cooper in Jimbo's Garage, very cool!

[@Rodeojoneswa12]

Thank you for the video and exactly what I needed to mount my new vice.

[@VENUEATHENS]

Hi there, thanks for the video.. I just purchased this vice, for light weekend auto repair work general purpose use. Will you do a video on maintenance of the vice, keeping it lubed and in proper working condition? Thanks again, looking forward in seeing more cool videos.

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching Tony, I will consider that! Jimbos garage!

Reading the comments, seems like Yost is sponsoring the channel. A quality company. With this in mind, they also manufacture 'real' vises in the US starting with their Tradesman line. IIRC, they also offer a combination vise and a machinist vise in a similar series. Made in the US, as well. Curious as to why you didn't opt for a better vise? Forgive me, the first Yost vise you had wasn't exactly representative of the company's better products or their history. The 750 is a better vise than most consumer products, but a shop like yours may benefit from something more serious. Lastly, to some the vise is the centerpiece of one's shop. Yost can help with that. :)

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching, They gave me a list to choose from, That is the one that works best for me. I realize that they have better ones. Jimbo!

[@MrRottincorps]

Going to Amazon to buy this today, tired of my won't stay tight, rotating , wimpy, no name P.O.S. going to drop some bucks and get a quality Vise. Thanks Jimbo for the great Videos

[@adammurphy9493]

I sure wish we could chat! I'm trying to teach myself to weld and I'm setting up my shop. Been looking for a vise like this. Love your videos!

[@JimbosGarage]

+Adam Murphy Hey Adam thanks for watching! Yes the Yost 750 DI is an amazing vise it has so many different functions, I'm very happy with mine, It is the perfect vise for any hobbyist. I think it come in at just under $300. Well worth the money! Jimbos garage!

[@Gabrielsantos-zt8gg]

Great video just ordered mine because of it. Thanks

[@girliedog]

Nice vice and excellent install, I want one.

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching Virginia, You can order it from the link in the video if you want. Jimbos garage!

[@keeganjacobs5913]

Awesome video thank you

[@jawojnicki]

awesome tutorial. Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks

[@JimbosGarage]

+jawojnicki Thanks for watching jawojnicki, Just to conferm!!! Yes this vise IS MADE IN CHINA!!! There have been other commenters out there asking. Just saying! Jimbos garage!

[@OOTurok]

I would really like to see a comparison between the... Yost 750DI & the Capri 10519 9000 lbs... vs ...6600 lbs clamping force 5" jaws... vs ...6" jaws 5"... vs ...5.7" jaw opening 63 lbs... vs ...57 lbs 3 yr... vs ... 10 warranty The clamping force & mass of the Yost are the biggest selling points... but the Capri's 10 year warranty, wider jaws, & jaw opening has really got me on the fence as to which one to buy. Why only a 3 yr warranty Yost?

[@mrsemifixit]

Could you have used two lag bolts in the front? I have a similar bench with a 2x4 front edge and 4x4 for the leg. Should I do same thing as you did or would two lag bolts in the front be good?

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching, If you can bolt it, It would be stronger. Jimbo!

[@fixman.persian]

nice clip so thanks

[@biefapiqi]

Two Q's: 1) why use 1/2" lag screws instead of a 5/8" one? 2) using 1/4" for making a pilot hole for a 1/2" lag screw - is that a general guideline? beginner here, please excuse the ignorence. Thank you!

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching Michael, Just the one blot is 1/2'' the rest are 5/8'' because that is all i had at the time, 1/4'' pilot is what i wanted to assure a good bite into the wood. It hasn't moved at all in two years. Jimbos garage!

[@TriniDB]

Might be a silly question, but can I install a Vise onto a regular plastic table from a Walmart? Or does it have to be installed onto wood. I can’t afford a wood work bench right now. But I plan on using a vise to sharpen my mower blades. Awesome video!

[@siriustraveler7083]

It depends on thickness of the plastic I would not recommend it but it may work in a pinch 🤏

[@mountainjam51]

Exactly the info I was looking for

[@camaromustangmods3327]

Just got a 750 DI today because of this video. Its massive and well put together. Had one question on mounting. You used 5/8 through bolts. I measured the mounting holes and they are a tad under 5/8 on a caliper. Am I wrong here? Seen you put the 5/8 right through. Thanks

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching Darren, Mine has 5/8'' holes, Often times 5/8'' bolts are slightly smaller. Jimbos garage!

[@camaromustangmods3327]

Awesome Thanks for saving me multiple trips to the hardware store. Even the mouting explaination helped me mount it correctly. I was going to mount it to far in. Excellent video explaining alot of the small stuff. Thank you.

[@jth030966]

i have a question i seen you got this vise yost 750di but in another video you got a yost 460 apprentice vise was theere anything wrong with the 460 apprentice vise because I was looking at that vise any input would be helpful

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching Jimmy, Yes before Yost was a channel sponsor, I ordered the 460 apprentice, Its was a good vise! It just wasn't the one i was looking for. Jimbos garage!

[@jth030966]

Thanks for the quick reply

[@soicanspeak]

made in china 3 year warranty HOW WELL DOES IT WORK / FUNCTION?

[@arbit3r]

Damn fine vice.

[@JimbosGarage]

+arbit3r Thanks for watching, Yes it is! The best I have ever had. It does a lot of things, All very nicely! Jimbos garage!

[@yihill1676]

I like this video, because this vise is made in our factory

[@TJ85234]

what did you use for your bench top? I'm still undecided. thanks!

[@JimbosGarage]

Thanks for watching, 1-1/8'' plywood with 1/4'' hardboard glued on top. Jimbos garage!

[@robertbrandywine]

What tool did you use to drive in the lag bolt?

[@garykarczewski6678]

Hi Jim, There are many vises to choose from Tekton, Bessey and I know Yost sent you a vise but did you consider any other brands? Also Yost makes a few different vises curious why you choose the 750 DI 5"? I am in need of a vise and am strongly considering the Yost but also have seen some good reviews on the Bessey and Tekton. Thanks.

[@JimbosGarage]

The 750 DI has so many adjustable options, I love it! Jimbos garage!

[@garykarczewski6678]

Sounds good, I will probably follow your recommendation on that vise as well.

[@yihill1676]

Tekton, Wilton, Irwin, Yost, Stanley, Craftsman and Columbian vises are all made in our factory. The only one difference is brand.

[@felixf5211]

Yi Hill , your comment is a little misleading. Both Yost and Willton make their better vises in the US. They are not made in your factory. Though Columbian is no longer around, after being purchased by Wilton in the '90s, their combination vise is made in the US by Reed. Wilton produced the same vise until ca. 2014 and then Reed took over. These are all very different designs - the difference is not solely the brand. Yes, all the inexpensive vises are made vises in Asia. Some are better than others. Not many. Models marketed as Irwin and Bessey, as an example, are junk. A hair better than a Harbor Freight vise - the absolute worst.

[@alcantrell5340]

Yi Hill yep, I have this exact one, only different is the name IRWIN. And mine was two thirds the price. Under 100 bucks 👍

[@jimbo1326]

I've been looking for a vise for a while now and I've done a lot of research on line. One complaint I keep hearing about vises made in China is that they crack or even break altogether it struck too hard. What are your thoughts on rubber washers for absorbing some impact and reducing vibration? Thanks.

[@JimbosGarage]

+Jim Bo Thanks for watching Jim bo! Yes the vise is made in china! But is still good quality, I love the vise and all it's features. I haven't had the problem with it cracking, But mounting it to some rubber washers or gromits would not be a bad idea! Jimbos garage!

[@chrstphrdyer]

What's the plug strip on the front of the bench? Thanks

[@joebuilder7741]

First time viewer, gotta say disappointed that you get free tools like many others, no way to be biased...

[@JimbosGarage]

Hi Joe, Thanks for watching. I have to say that although they sent it over, I only make videos on tools I truly believe in. I've had this thing for a couple years, use it about everyday and it's truly a great product. I've not seen another one that rotates like this with this quality either. I just try to show the product so you can get a better idea of the quality and how it works before you buy one. I'm not paid or sponsored to say anything about the product, so it the companies risk to send me product and up to me to make a video about it or not. I have zero obligation to them. In a way it's good that these companies send out stuff otherwise there wouldn't be as much information out about the products we can buy. Just my two sense about it. Thanks again for watching. - Jim

[@QNATURUNDHUND]
