Bessey BV-HW45 Bench Vise 4 Inch Jaw Opening Swivel

Product Description

The BESSEY BV-HW45 is a light-duty bench vise designed for securing workpieces on a stationary workbench. It features a 4-inch jaw opening capacity and a 270-degree swivel base with a lockdown bolt, allowing the vise to be repositioned and locked firmly in place. The body is constructed from ductile iron, which provides resistance to impact and everyday shop stress. The vise also includes an anvil surface for basic forming tasks. At 28.9 pounds, the BV-HW45 is a solid bench-mounted tool suited for fabricators, tradespeople, and shop technicians who need a reliable work-holding solution.

This bench vise is appropriate for light-duty shop use in residential garages, trade workshops, and service bays. It mounts to a workbench using four mounting points secured by a single lockdown bolt. The 270-degree swivel base allows the operator to rotate the vise to the most ergonomic working angle for a given task. A maximum pipe capacity of 1 inch makes it suitable for light pipefitting and plumbing work in addition to general metal and woodworking applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by the end user or a shop technician using standard hand tools. The vise should be mounted to a solid, flat workbench surface rated to handle the combined weight of the vise and the workload applied. Secure all four mounting points fully before applying clamping force to ensure the base does not shift during use. Do not exceed the rated light-duty capacity of the vise.
