    Extra-Wide-Opening Tilting-Head Bench Vises

    For large workpieces, these vises open three times as wide as industrial tilting-head vises. The head tilts, rotates, and locks in place to hold your work at an angle. Vises have one smooth jaw and one grooved jaw for clamping flat, round, and uneven workpieces. The 5-lb. weighted base is heavy enough to keep the vise in place but light enough to be portable. For temporary mounting, add a clamp-on base (sold separately).

    Static-Control Circuit Board Vises

    Rotate these vises to solder both the front and back of your circuit board while preventing static charges from damaging your components. Plastic jaws slowly drain static charges away, minimizing the buildup of electrostatic discharge (ESD). To make soldering components through the holes on your board easier, these vises have a positioning arm that holds your component. This allows you to rotate the board and solder on the opposite side without you needing to hold the component.
