Lucy ★★★★★

Swapped out my old 3-jaw for this independent 4-jaw and the reversible jaws make squaring up odd-shaped stock way less fiddly. The 0.87" through hole is plenty for the small bushings I turn, and the chuck key fits snug without any slop.

Mia ★★★★★

The through hole being 22mm handled my longer stock without any rigging, and the key fits snugly so it doesn’t wobble mid-tightening. Jaws flipped over in a couple minutes, and it’s held a slightly crooked casting dead true—pretty impressed for the price.

Elizabeth S. ★★★★★

The reversible jaws are a huge time-saver when I need to switch between internal and external gripping, and the through hole is just big enough for my small stock. Feels solid and well-made for the price.
