Easily secured to a work surface up to 1 5/8" (41mm) thick (and just as easy to remove when not in use), this compact articulating vise is a practical choice for home repairs and small projects.

The rotating head lets you choose between two pairs of 5/8" (16mm) deep jaws. One jaw pair is 1 1/2" (38mm)  wide with smooth faces to avoid marring your work, and the other is 2 1/2" (56mm)  wide with crosshatched faces for enhanced grip as well as notches for holding round stock. Maximum opening of each is 2 1/2" (56mm). The swivel base also rotates 360°, so you can readily position the work for best access.

The vise has a 2" × 1" (50 x 25mm) flat anvil for light shaping jobs, flattening pins or peening rivets, and a fully enclosed lead screw to keep debris out of the threads. Mounted, the 6 1/2" (165mm) long vise stands 5 1/2" (140mm) high; the swivel base is 3 3/4" wide and has three through holes for permanent installation (1/4" bolts not included).

The body is cast iron with a powder-coated finish to prevent corrosion. Weighs 8 1/2 lb (3.86kg).
