A small metal vise that screws onto the edge of a table or bench and holds the work on a ball-joint head, so you can turn and tilt a small carving to a comfortable angle and lock it there. The jaws are lined with black grooved pads, the jaw screw turns with a T-handle, and a lever locks the ball joint. Each order is one vise, as pictured.

What it does

  • Clamps to a table edge: a screw C-clamp under the column tightens with a black fluted knob, and a black ring sits under the column base, as pictured. The largest table thickness the clamp takes is not listed by the manufacturer.
  • Turns and tilts on a ball joint: loosen the lever, set the head at the angle you want, then lock the lever again.
  • Padded jaws: black grooved pads, rubber-type as pictured, line both jaws, and a T-handle screw closes them on the piece. The pad material is not listed by the manufacturer.
  • Metal body with a grey finish, as pictured. The jaw width and jaw opening are not listed by the manufacturer.
  • Listed package size about 7.9 × 7.1 × 1.6 in (200 × 180 × 40 mm).

Use & care

Check the vise when your order arrives and contact us through the contact page if anything is damaged. Tighten the bench clamp on a solid table edge and lock the ball joint before carving; re-check the lock if the head moves. Light-duty hobby vise: not for hammering or for holding work while using power tools. Put a piece of card between the clamp foot and a finished tabletop if you want to protect the surface. Wipe off chips and dust after use; a drop of light machine oil on the screw threads helps the T-handle turn. The manufacturer gives no care instructions.

Your questions, answered

How wide do the jaws open?

The manufacturer does not list the jaw width or the jaw opening, so we cannot give a figure. It is a small hobby vise for small carvings and parts.

How thick a table does the clamp fit?

The clamp opening is not listed by the manufacturer. The clamp is a screw C-clamp with a fluted knob, as pictured, and it needs a table or bench edge with room underneath for the clamp screw.

Does the head turn and tilt?

Yes. The head sits on a ball joint: loosen the lever, set the angle, and lock the lever again before carving.

One vise with its bench clamp, as shown in the photos on this page, in a plastic bag. The manufacturer's package list does not describe the parts in more detail.

Can I hammer on it?

No. It is a light-duty hobby vise, not for hammering or for holding work while using power tools.

What is it made of?

The manufacturer lists it as metal; it has a grey finish, black grooved jaw pads that look like rubber in the photos, and a black clamp knob, as pictured.

Why is the listed weight so low?

The listed package weight is about 3.8 oz (108 g), which is light for a metal vise of this type. We have not weighed one ourselves, so treat it as the manufacturer's figure.
