Hey Brian, I found this site after doing a 'google search' for reviews of the Anant version of the Record 53 vise. I see that you commented on it almost three years ago, when you bought one new. Now that you've had it for a while, what do you think of it? Is it still holding up? I'm thinking of buying one, but I'm a little hesitant. I know that it looks like a Record vise, but is the quality there? Is the steel properly tempered so that it will hold up to years of use? My thanks in advance, Mike in Maryland
