Columbian vise became part of Wilton some time ago, and they always had good, better and best vises prior to that.
A 3 1/2 vise was all my Dad ever needed, would be more than my younger sibling would ever need, and would be what I use up on the bench, doing detail work or when I am using a loupe to see really fine stuff. My Momma bear vise (mid size) is 3 1/2.

A guy could do worse than a Columbian 3 1/2 vise.

Best,
Ted
