Mini 3.5" Aluminum Bench Vise for Jewelry & Hobby

Compact bench vise for precise jewelry, model and hobby work

- This 3.5" aluminum mini bench vise is designed to hold small parts securely while you file, polish, drill, carve or assemble. With full 360° rotation and clamp-on installation, it brings stable, controlled gripping power to almost any tabletop or bench, making close-up, detailed work more accurate and more comfortable.

Built from a cast aluminum alloy body with a steel screw and handle, this vise delivers a strong hold in a lightweight form. The clamp-on base attaches firmly to flat surfaces such as wood, metal, glass or plastic worktops. Once mounted, the head can be rotated 360° and tilted up to 90° so you can position your work at the exact angle you need. A combination of fine and coarse adjustment lets you control jaw pressure precisely, protecting delicate pieces while still preventing movement.

The vise features a jaw width of approximately 3.5" and is ideal for jewelry making, scale models, RC cars and planes, electronics, crafts and other small projects. Its compact size (about 7.2 × 8.2 cm / 2.84 × 3.24 in) makes it easy to move between workstations or take to classes and workshops. Operation is straightforward: clamp the base to your table using the top bar, then turn the main screw to open or close the jaws around your workpiece.
