If you’re looking for a quick release vise, I’ve had very bad luck with the kind where you rotate the handle to release. The lever kind is much better and gets to be pretty intuitive after a little use. I liked this one so much I bought a second one. It’s big and heavy, but it’s handled everything I’ve thrown at it.

If you're in the market for a vise, I've been extremely happy with this one. So much so that I bought a second.
