Brand new vise broke the jaws off

Had a seized ball in a hitch. tried using 5’ pipe wrench and kept twisting out of a different vise that has smooth jaws. Took it to a different side of the shop put it in this brand new vise and put a 1” impact on the nut within 3 knocks of the impact it blew the jaws off. Busted the hardware off in the vise so I could t bolt it back on. Wasn’t going to throw it away so welded it back on. All because of an employee’s personal project.

I’ll be buying the 6.5” within a week
