With a clamping force of up to 6,600 lbs, it is the ideal choice for cutting, grinding, shaping, and general repair work.
Its low-maintenance bullet-style design keeps the internal components protected, ensuring a longer tool life with less downtime. The precision-machined slide rail provides smooth and accurate clamping, while the 360° swivel base with dual lockdowns offers rock-solid stability at any angle. Additionally, a large anvil surface provides a dedicated workspace for hammering and layout tasks. Backed by Wilton’s Lifetime Warranty, this vise is a reliable anchor for any shop.
