STANLEY 1-83-069 MAXSTEEL Multi Angle Vice, Yellow/Black

Product Information

The Stanley 183069 Multi Angle Hobby Vice would be effective for lightweight applications and is a great alternative to the Rolson 60mm model for those looking for a model with a bit more versatility but has a slightly smaller clamping width. Do you need a model that can handle intricate projects or a model that can take care of industrial duties? The size of the work that is to be undertaken will affect the overall size. Small units offer a jaw opening of around 3-4 inches while larger units can go up to 6 inches and beyond. To be safe select a medium-sized model, that way, you don’t need to handle the bulky workshop models. Secured or swivel base?

The Irwin Record No.3 Mechanics Vice is a good quality vice that is probably one of the best vices available in terms of strength and quality, however, it is expensive for the casual user. This is meant for those who have a bit of money to spend on a good vice and need something that can be used under immense pressure. There are models that allow the base to rotate so that the user can work at different angles. The swivel base can be rotated and secured to hold the vice in position. On the other hand, we have vices that have permanent bases that are bolted down on surfaces. These kinds of vices are recommended for workshop environments because stability at all times is required. Depending on personal preference, choose accordingly. Jaw Specifications

Introducing the Dremel 2500 multi-vise that is a 3-in-1 function tool. This model acts as a standalone clamp, a tool holder and a stationary vice all in one. You have the option to use any of the functions without any problems. The multi-vice can clamp onto surfaces that are 6.3cm at a maximum, which means you can work from most surfaces. The best bench vise can be clamped or mounted onto a workbench with ease. It should possess firm jaws and conform to the budget that you are working with.

Overall, this is probably the best vice available at the price. It isn’t the cheapest but it offers better value for money than some of the other models we compared it against. Many of which are much more expensive, however, the quality seems the same all things considered. Comfort is the primary concern for manufacturers because consumers have become more aware. Smoothly finished handles ensure that your hands do not get too much bruising while the structural finish prevents the vice from ruining your surfaces. The Irwin Record No.3 Mechanics Vice can handle light to medium applications without distorting, even under intense pressure. Because the strength of the construction materials is essential to the shelf life of the vice, grey iron casting is not a bad choice and is what makes this vice so reliable and perfect for professional use. Another feature presented in this model is the nut that opens up the jaw. The nut is made from high-quality material that won’t snap under pressure. The base of the vice can be bolted down to the work surface, of which we recommend 3 x M16 bolts. For people with home workshops, this vise is perfect and is very versatile. The manufacturer of this unit made certain that the comfort of the user was a primary need. That is precisely why the handles on this machine have rubber.An anvil is usually present in models to provide a user with a surface for hammering. If the size of the anvil matters to you, be sure to select a model with a sizeable one. Be sure to note that it will be a tad heavier.

The Rolson 60mm Swivel Table Vice would make a good choice for small tasks and is great to have around the workshop.
