Details
The Tradesman XC vise is built to tackle the toughest clamping tasks in extreme environments. Unlike many vises with a fixed - center nut, Tradesman's round - channel vises use a rear - anchored nut. This setup offers straight - line pull and even pressure, boosting durability. The round - channel design encloses the spindle and nut assembly, keeping debris out and lubrication in for smooth, long - lasting operation. All Tradesman vises come with main jaws, pipe jaws, and a machined anvil work surface for maximum versatility. The XC models have electroless nickel coating on key parts, which extends their lifespan in corrosive settings, saving you money on repairs and preventing work downtime.

Manual



Using your Tradesman 1765XC Bench Vise is easy. First, find a stable surface and use the four mounting points to secure it. You can rotate the 360 - degree swivel base and lock it in place with the double lockdowns for the best working angle. To clamp an object, use the main jaws, pipe jaws, or the anvil according to your needs. The reversible jaw inserts let you choose between a serrated side for a tight grip and a smooth side to protect softer materials. When it comes to maintenance, thanks to the enclosed design, the vise keeps lubrication in and debris out. But it's still a good idea to check the lubrication regularly and add more if needed. Also, be aware that this product has a Prop 65 warning about cancer and reproductive harm. So, handle it with care and follow all safety instructions in the manual.
