Bought a large and very heavy duty machine vice and replaced the spindle with a hardened 1" bolt and fabricated nut welded in place, using the impact wrench for another project, found it makes it a very easy job with almost any small die. Drilling a recess for the die centering pin insert that can be used with different center pin sizes. I got tired of bending and replacing bent vice handles.
Damn man...this channel should have way more views.

Levi, if you were to planish around the hole first, would that help keep the panel from bending?
I also use my OTC ball joint press to draw up dies when I can't get the part in the press
Need to add a link in description.
Dude where has the channel and video been...
At least I'm not the only one that broke a vise haha.
Get a better quality vise... LOL, Eastwood? That's hilarious.
