ALDI has the these table and suction vices for sale again, they only do it once a year in February it seems. Stock is limited. At 8am this morning there were 3 people buying them as soon as the store opened. It's a dice roll which stores carry what quantity.
Quality isn't all that great but maximum bang for buck and they will do the job.

It's a once per year offer while stocks last.
I got one of these a few years ago, possibly the first time they ever had them. It broke the first time I used it, cast alloy and horribly weak.
They might be better now though, certainly couldn't be any worse.
They seem to sell these for the same price, so it's hardly a bargain for this brand….

I bought one of each last year,I.e. the clamp and auction cup base ones.
Like you, I also broke The clamp one the first time I used it, while the suction cup one didn't stick to my bench top.
Might as well get a light-weight one for 2-3x the price from bunnings to save yourself the hassle.

Vice Squad?
Get a grip on yourself…
Don't hang around Aldi's door, you will get the clamp.
My Aldi has not yet had a single deal posted here
These are good if your bench is made of glass/plastic otherwise… don't bother imo. Maybe a good gps holder?
They also have clamp ones for the same price.
Might be good for the kitchen… Extra set of hands
Just bought a suction vice and a 4 sided diamond stone that was next to it for $10 which is a c-c-c-combo breaker if you want to sharpen knives for $25. set the stone in the vice at the angle you want to sharpen and then hold the knife flat. It's a really easy way to get an even edge. Did a few knives and the vice didn't move at all and I was pressing pretty hard.
How much do they normally sell them for ?
