"Front" - is that reversible to be an expanding vice?

Don’t think so. Never realised the story behind them. They are a cracking vice.

Back jaw moves...

I can see one big pitfall with the idea of this vice..

When you mount a vice on a bench - you position the rear jaw slightly forward of the bench edge - so anything long you mount in the vice - can protrude down towards the floor - your only restriction is bench height. However wide the "anything is" as long as it goes in the jaw opening width - this works.

But with a back jaw moving - you could only put long things in "horizontally not vertically".
