Details
The Tradesman round channel vise is a top - notch tool crafted for the toughest clamping jobs. Unlike many vises with a fixed - center nut, this vise has its nut anchored at the rear. This design offers a straight - line pull and even pressure, making it super durable. Its round channel design fully encloses the spindle and nut assembly. This keeps debris out and lubrication in, ensuring smooth operation for life. For maximum flexibility, it comes with main jaws, pipe jaws, and a machined anvil work surface.
Features
- It has a 60,000 PSI ductile iron body, jaw, and base. That's virtually indestructible, with twice the strength of gray cast iron.
- The enclosed design maintains lubrication and keeps contaminants away for smooth, long - term operation.
- The large anvil can take a beating when you're forming and shaping materials.
- The longer spindle nut guarantees smooth movement and a strong straight - line pull.
- The machined steel serrated jaws with a phosphate coating are more durable and have a longer service life.
- The precision slide bar stops the front jaw from moving, no matter how wide it's opened.
- The redesigned spindle assembly enhances the overall product lifespan and durability.
- The reversible jaw inserts have a serrated side for extra grip and a smooth side to avoid marring softer surfaces.

Using your Tradesman 1745 Bench Vise is easy. First, find a stable surface and use the four mounting points to secure it firmly. When you need to clamp an object, turn the spindle to open or close the jaws. You can use the main jaws for general clamping, pipe jaws for cylindrical objects, and the anvil work surface for shaping. Remember, the vise is marked with Prop 65 for cancer risk, so always use it in a well - ventilated area. To keep it in top shape, regularly check the lubrication. The enclosed design helps keep the lubrication in, but you may need to add some from time to time. Wipe off any debris after each use to prevent it from getting into the spindle and nut assembly. Also, if the reversible jaw inserts get worn out, you can simply flip them over for continued use.
