Choosing a bench vice
Jaw width is the first decision: the heavy duty range here runs 125, 150 and 200 mm. Then think about how you work. A swivel base lets you turn the vice to the job without unbolting it, an offset design suits longer work, and a chain vice grips round sections such as pipe. Make sure the bench and fixings can carry the vice you choose. Always check the data sheet.
