TritonSJA100XL SuperJaws Portable Clamping System, Orange, XXL

Bought this to use as putting together a building in the back garden and thought I'd get something that would allow me to hold fairly chunky bits of stock securely and safely. You can get a really solid grip by just positioning the stock, moving the clamps in and pressing down with the foot pedal. The flick of a selector switch locks this in place, and then you can give a bit of an extra squeeze with the foot pedal if required.I opted for the SJA 1000XL rather than the 327323 SuperJaws as I wanted something a bit more robust. Turns out this is very robust. It also weighs a tonne (not literally, but you know what I mean). The downside is that this is a mission to move around and fold up, the positive being that it barely moves at all. I've clamped 5m 45x175 and sawed one end without it moving about noticeably.There are also a couple of attachments that can be added to the 1000XL. A side extension tray, log jaws and engineers jaws. I don't own any of these yet, but will almost certainly be investing in the side support and probably the log jaws as well.Summary:Sturdy, heavy, strong. Whether its worth the £50 premium over the Triton 327323 SuperJaws is up to you. For me, I'm pleased I plumped for the 1000.

The build quality, strength and overall finish are simply superb.The only faults this has are niggling ones at best:1. I'd like a way to lock the extended legs in place that wasn't reliant upon a bit of plastic.2. I'd like a way to lock the legs in place when they weren't extended - that way, the handle might have an actual use!

I have been trying to find a reliable way of clamping smallish branches to allow me to cut them to length with my Stihl battery chainsaw as my current method is too time consuming and fiddly - small workmate with jaws set at 45 degrees and short elastic luggage straps as clamps is not that reliable.Then I got an email from Screwfix the other day and their "Deal of the Day" @ £79.99, ending at midnight, was this Triton XXL superjaws. I googled some details and reviews and decided it would be ideal for my needs. Tried to order it - home delivery not available and no store within a 50 mile radius seemed to have one in stock!Then I noticed it was available on Amazon for the same price - so much for Screwfix "Deal of the Day" I thought. I ordered it along with the additional log jaws. (Make sure you get the right ones as there seems to be 3 different sorts)It arrived yesterday and was relatively simple to set up - it is pretty heavy, around 20Kg so be careful. The only disappointments:-1) One of the plastic pins that retain the standard jaw pads was so tight that I had to use a hammer and a drift to remove it and the pin is now in a sorry state and I need a replacement. They are only a friction fit but that is taking the Michael. These have to be removed to fit the log jaws.2) The actual log jaws are pretty rusty all around the internal welds - so much for the "Zinc-plated steel for corrosion resistance" in the listing! Not particularly a major issue, I shan't bother sending them back, but it would have been nice not to have rust from new! I have given them a coat of Waxoyl so that will stop any progression.3) Two of the captive nyloc nuts in the fixings for the log jaws were faulty and the bolts would not screw in. Luckily I had some replacements to hand but I doubt everyone would have.4) As mentioned in some other reviews the movable jaw was a bit rough when moved over the base - the paint on the main body runners is not that smooth. I tried some PTFE spray on both parts and it has made the operation as smooth as butter now.Having got it all assembled and fettled I actually tried it - absolutely brilliant!I tried lots of different sizes of branches from 2" up to about 5" and it was an absolute treat to use - just place the log in the jaws, slide the rear jaw towards you to touch the wood, flip the big lock lever to "Lock" then give a prod on the foot pedal and that's it. Grips like a vice (Oh, it is a vice!) You don't even need to press the pedal that hard. You can pull, push and strain on the free end of the log and nothing moves - you can even lift the whole device off the floor and it will not let go!When you have made your cuts, and obviously you can make several without moving the log, then just flip the locking lever up and give another quick prod on the foot pedal and the jaws release - it is so simple and quick.Obviously it will accommodate much larger branches than I tested today, I think the specification for the log jaws says up to 12", but you need to be careful that you don't unbalance the whole thing by having too much overhang on one side of the device. Obviously for heavier items you can clamp at the middle point and take multiple cuts either side of the jaws which would leave you only one relocation to chop the very middle bit in half. The minimum length I could get for the last piece was about 8" ( without the chain getting too close to the metalwork!)For thinner wood I think the main limiting factor for how much overhang, and therefore multiple cuts, you can get away with is the amount of whip in the timber causing the saw to vibrate or chatter. That really depends on what variety of wood you are cutting and how sharp your chainsaw is!Overall it is a well designed, simple to use bit of kit that I will be using for all sizes of logging that I envisage to be needing to cut. I think my LogMaster chainsaw bench will be needing a new home!By the way, I happened to check the Amazon listing just after midnight the day I ordered it and it had gone up in price to £111:00 - so it would seem that they had matched the Screwfix price for that day!I have emailed Triton outlining the poor quality control problems I encountered and I am hoping they will at least send me a spare plastic pin but I have not had a reply as yet. Hence the drop of one star as there were several items not quite right and they are obviously a bit slow to respond.

Decided to get one of these after seeing a friend using one. When I looked on Amazon for it I noticed the version that he had, was not available, probably as it has been superseded buy the XL & XXL version. I decided to go for the XXL one as it looked very chunky. At £169. it was not cheap, but I know from bitter experience, that you only get what you pay for in this world. One of the great things I like about Amazon is, when I clicked on checkout tab, to purchase it, I was offered the same model with over £70 off as it was "used" in original box. I thought that It it was going to be extremely difficult to damage this tool so I took a chance, and bought it, after all I have done this before with Amazon, with a couple of laptops and other items, and never been disappointed. It arrived next day to my shock, at around 8am, so I opened it up, a little apprehensively,, to find a virtually new super jaws inside, which still had all the original wrapping and plastic ties still in place. The only thing not perfect was the box, a bit bashed about, but who cares about the box? I can highly recommend the super jaws as a portable vice, it's so easy to use, with your leg doing most of the hard work, and although a lot of the reviews complain about the weight, I found it very easy to carry about, even though I am in my mid seventy's. Also if you take off the sliding rear jaw it will be around 4kg lighter. I only wish I had one of these in my younger days. Definitely 5 stars from me.

Love this vise, wish I had known they existed years ago. Great clamping force, quick and easy to use plus I can move it around the shed as I wish.

Sorry strong and I like it.

Was thinking on getting one years ago . I should have what a great tool to have .

Me gusta mucho, tiene mucha estabilidad y una gran fuerza de agarre. Plegado ocupa poco espacio, aunque hay que decir que es un poco pesado.
