Details
The Tradesman round channel vise is a top - notch tool for demanding clamping jobs. Unlike ordinary 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 extremely durable. The round channel design encloses the spindle and nut assembly, keeping out debris and retaining lubrication for a lifetime of smooth operation. It comes with main jaws, pipe jaws, and a machined anvil work surface for maximum versatility.
Features
- Its 60,000 PSI ductile iron body, jaw, and base are almost indestructible, twice as strong as gray cast iron.
- The enclosed design keeps lubrication in and contaminants out, ensuring smooth operation over its lifespan.
- The large anvil can withstand heavy impacts during material forming and shaping.
- The longer spindle nut guarantees smooth movement and a stronger straight - line pull.
- The machined steel serrated jaws with phosphate coating are highly durable and have a long 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 life and durability.
- The reversible jaw inserts have a serrated side for extra grip and a smooth side to avoid scratching softer surfaces.

Using the Tradesman 1755 Bench Vise is easy. First, mount it securely to your workbench using the four mounting points. You can use the main jaws for general clamping tasks, and switch to the pipe jaws when working with pipes. The anvil work surface is great for hammering and shaping materials. When opening or closing the vise, turn the spindle smoothly. Make sure to keep the vise clean. Wipe it down after each use to prevent debris from getting into the moving parts. Periodically check the lubrication. If the movement starts to feel rough, add some lubricant to the spindle and nut assembly. Since it has a Prop 65 warning related to cancer, take proper precautions when handling it, like wearing gloves if necessary. Also, be careful when using the reversible jaw inserts. Choose the serrated side for better grip on hard materials, and the smooth side for softer ones to avoid damage.
