What is the weight of this vice
This specs on this Bessey Lite Duty Bench Vise, P/N BV-45HW, on this site states the Maximum jaw opening is 4-1/2", but on a U-Tube video on this vise, the box clearly says the max. opening is 3-3/8" as does the maker of the video. Which is correct?
What is the weight of this vise? Thank you!
The product weighs 11.9 pounds.
Where is this vice made?
This vise is imported from China.
What are the measurements for the base
The base of the vise measures approximately 3 1/2" square, with the mounting holes centered 3 1/2" apart on each side. This forms a square bolt pattern.
Will a 3/8 inch bolt require a washer where it sits in the base?
What size bolts/nut do I need to Install?

I just used 3" wood screws with washers to drill directly into the studs of my workbench.
I sent Bessey an email asking this question, and they responded quickly with their recommendation of 7/16". So, there you go, boys, read em and weep! LOL!
