I have a wood workers bench vice on the side of my workbench. I'm considering getting a Vise as my first proper tool.
I would like this to be a one time purchase, ie: quality, not outgrow, won't be disappointed by slop etc.
I am considering:
Wilton 400S $710

Yost FSV-4 $123
https://www.amazon.com/Yost-Vises-Heavy-Duty-Forged-Steel/dp/B00E8IWTHC
I can afford the Wilton, but it will put a several month delay in my next tool (most likely a drill press).
Question is: is the $580 premium on the Wilton Bullet worth it? Is the Yost any good? do you recommend a third option I haven't considered?
