Vices, Kits & Accessories

Vices hold workpieces securely for sawing, drilling, filing and assembly.  Bench vices mount to workbenches; drill‑press vices align stock under the drill.  Clamp‑on vices and multi‑angle vices adapt to portable work.  Accessories include soft jaws and swivel bases.

What are vices commonly used for?
Vices are mounted tools that hold workpieces securely in place during cutting, drilling, filing, welding, or assembly. They provide stability and free up both hands, making work safer and more accurate.

What types of vices are available?
Common types include bench vices (general-purpose), woodworking vices, drill press vices, pipe vices, and engineer’s vices. Each is designed to hold specific shapes or materials, and accessories like soft jaws or swivel bases increase versatility.

How can I maintain a vice for long-term use?
Keep the screw threads and sliding surfaces clean and lightly oiled, avoid overtightening to prevent jaw damage, and use protective jaw covers when clamping delicate materials. Store kits and accessories in a dry, organised space.
