Hi,
Is the handle standing proud of the front face at all?
if it is, that might explain the slack as that would need to be pulled in before the vice jaws pull in.
You can address that by taking the split pin off of the end cap (the thing that holds the two bars together at the far back of the vice) and packing it out with washers.
Don’t overdo it though.
Darren.
