WILTON 6-1/2" Tradesman Bench Vise - WL9-28807
The Tradesman round channel vise is designed to handle the most demanding clamping applications. Unlike most vises that have a fixed center nut the Tradesman round channel vise nut is anchored at the rear which provides straight line pull and even pressure resulting in greater durability. The round channel design also allows for a completely enclosed spindle and nut assembly keeping debris out and lubrication in for a lifetime of smooth operation. For ultimate versatility, the Tradesman vise is equipped with main jaws, pipe jaws and a machined anvil work surface.
Features
- 60,000 PSI ductile iron body, jaw, and base is virtually indestructible with 2X the strength of gray cast iron.
