Details
The Tradesman round channel vise is the ultimate solution for tough clamping jobs. Unlike ordinary vises with fixed - center nuts, 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 fully encloses the spindle and nut assembly. It keeps debris out and lubrication in, ensuring smooth operation for a lifetime. For added flexibility, it comes with main jaws, pipe jaws, and a machined anvil work surface.
Features
- Its 60,000 PSI ductile iron body, jaw, and base are almost indestructible, being twice as strong as gray cast iron.
- The enclosed design maintains lubrication and keeps contaminants away for long - term smooth operation.
- The large anvil can withstand heavy use during material forming and shaping.
- The longer spindle nut ensures smooth movement and a stronger straight - line pull.
- The machined steel serrated jaws with a phosphate coating are highly durable and have a long service life.
- The precision slide bar prevents movement of the front jaw, no matter how wide it's opened.
- The redesigned spindle assembly improves the overall product lifespan and durability.
- The reversible jaw inserts have a serrated side for extra grip and a smooth side to prevent marks on softer surfaces.

Using this Tradesman bench vise is easy. First, find a stable surface and use the four mounting points to secure it firmly. You can choose between the main jaws, pipe jaws according to your task. For clamping pipes, use the pipe jaws. When working on flat materials, the main jaws are your best bet. The anvil work surface is great for shaping and forming materials. Just place your material on it and start hammering. Remember, this vise is marked with Prop 65 due to cancer - related risks, so always work in a well - ventilated area. For maintenance, keep the vise clean. Wipe off any debris after each use. The enclosed design helps keep lubrication in, but you can check the spindle and nut assembly from time to time and add lubricant if needed. If the jaw inserts get worn out, you can reverse them to use the other side. That way, you'll get the most out of your vise for a long time.
