Bench Vises

A bench vise is a heavy-duty clamping tool permanently attached to a workbench, used to hold an object firmly in place so you can work on it with both hands.
Here is the simple breakdown of what it does:
• Permanent Fixture: It’s bolted directly onto the edge of a work table or bench, making it extremely stable.
• A Super-Strong Grip: It has two parallel jaws. You turn a handle attached to a screw mechanism, which pulls the movable jaw tightly against the fixed jaw, clamping the object securely.
• Keeps Hands Free: It is essential for tasks where you need two hands—like sawing, drilling, filing, sanding, or gluing things together.
• Essential Workshop Tool: You will find one in almost every garage, workshop, or factory floor because it provides the robust grip needed for heavy-duty manual work.
In short, a bench vise is a powerful, permanently mounted clamp that acts as an extra set of incredibly strong hands in a workshop.
