The Pony vise is used for whatever you would use a bench vise for. It is also handy for holding a splicing wand.
I use the 2 speed winch to pre-tension knots on soft shackles as well as pre-tensioning splices.
The bench itself is not exactly what you might call structural, so I suspect it won't survive too many years of the type of abuse I am subjecting it to.
But, it does allow me to work at a comfortable height.

That depends ... If you consider requiring 2 men and a full size pickup truck portable, then sure, it is portable.
