A detailed buying guide: how to choose a bench vice.
Vices mount on the workbench and hold the workpiece firmly while sawing, filing, drilling, bending and assembling. This section includes engineer's vices with an anvil, swivel-base vices and woodworking vices. General guide: how to choose clamps, vises and holding tools.
Jaws of 100-125 mm suit a home workshop, while 150-200 mm are for larger parts and pipes. Check the maximum opening too.
A cast iron body absorbs vibration, while cast steel is more resistant to impacts. About materials: hand tool materials, hardness, coatings and ergonomics.
A swivel base lets you set the workpiece at a convenient angle without removing the vice.
The anvil at the back of the vice is handy for lightly straightening wire and sheet.
Bolt the vice down securely and never use an extension lever to tighten the screw. Read how to use hand tools safely.
Clean and oil the screw and slide, and replace worn jaws in time. Read how to maintain, store and organize hand tools.
At ToolsArmenia you can choose a vice by jaw width, body material and base type.
