Extra-Wide-Opening Tilting-Head Bench Vises
For large workpieces, these vises open three times as wide as standard tilting-head vises. The head tilts, rotates, and locks in place to hold your work at an angle. Vises have one smooth jaw and one grooved jaw for clamping flat, round, and uneven workpieces. The 5-lb. weighted base is heavy enough to keep the vise in place but light enough to be portable. For temporary mounting, add a clamp-on base (sold separately).
Vise with self-centering jaws has jaws that move at the same time to keep parts in the center of the vise.

Freestanding Pipe Vises
Set up the tripod wherever you need to hold pipe, tubing, and conduit for cutting and threading.
Chain-style vises have jaws on the base. Crank the handle to tighten the chain, securing the object against the jaws.
Yoke-style vises have top and bottom jaws—turn the handle to clamp the object between them. They have a hinged side opening with a locking latch. You can reverse the yoke to open on the left or right. Yoke style is not recommended for plastic pipe.

Freestanding Pipe Vises for Clean Rooms
Keep clean rooms free of contaminants. These vises have rubber-covered jaws that prevent metal-to-metal contact and a plastic-encased chain that seals in lubrication. Set up the tripod to hold pipe, tubing, and conduit for cutting and threading. Crank the handle to tighten the chain, securing the object against the jaws on the base.

Static-Control Circuit Board Vises
Rotate these vises to solder both the front and back of your circuit board while preventing static charges from damaging your components. Plastic jaws slowly drain static charges away, minimizing the buildup of electrostatic discharge (ESD). To make soldering components through the holes on your board easier, these vises have a positioning arm that holds your component. This allows you to rotate the board and solder on the opposite side without you needing to hold the component.

Circuit Board Vises
Use both hands to position and solder components to your circuit board. These vises keep your board stable on a flat surface.
Component positioning stands (sold separately) keep components in place as you solder them through your board.
