Reddit reviews Yost LV4 Home Vise 41/2"

I use this one. Dont use a pipe extension to tighten and it'll be just fine (It is a lighter duty vise).

Rubber and aluminum vise caps (4.5") to go with it.

Keep in mind it's still not super light; you won't be carrying this thing in your pocket lol. However, if he you ever have a backpack or carry bag or something, you'd have no problem throwing it in and bringing it with you. Can clamp to anything that is less than 2 inches thick, although that becomes less if you are using wood; don't need thick wood though. I only had like a ¾" strip of wood, but you could just use a single crappy strip of ⅛" wood; it's just so the clamp doesn't dig in to the table you're using (unless you don't care)

If you don't care about portability (or arent like me and have a real workbench/workspace), you could get one of the bigger vices that isn't clamp on, but has a base you can screw/bolt to something (although the weight will likely be enough working on small stuff) like this https://www.amazon.com/Yost-LV4-Home-Vise-41/dp/B07GRFPX7M/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1541979980&sr=8-3&keywords=Vise

Also, I got some 4" nylon vise jaw grips https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018QNM7V2/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B018QNM7V2&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=21517efd-b385-405b-a405-9a37af61b5b4&pd_rd_wg=ODaw0&pf_rd_r=RA8QYFPB2X46EMBZGAS5&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&pd_rd_w=t0rkR&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pd_rd_r=df603481-e60c-11e8-8128-07608570eb48 so it wouldn't mark anything up. They're longer than my vice jaws so they hang off the sides a bit, but there's no issue whatsoever there.
