General 94A Pin Vise 0.04 in Capacity Nickel-plated Collet

Product Description

The GENERAL 94A is a pin vise designed for holding small-diameter tools, wires, and rods during precision hand work. The hollow nickel-plated body accepts long wires or rods fed straight through the handle, making it practical for tasks that require extended reach or through-feed positioning. The collet-style jaw opens from 0 inches up to a maximum of 0.055 inches, with a rated capacity of 0.04 inches. Overall length is 3.125 inches and overall diameter is 0.313 inches. This tool is commonly used by machinists, technicians, and trade professionals who need a secure, hand-held grip on fine drills, reamers, files, and similar small-shank instruments.

The GENERAL 94A suits bench work and field applications where small tools need to be held firmly without a drill press or powered chuck. Typical uses include deburring operations, light reaming, hand-filing in tight spaces, and positioning fine wire or rod stock. The through-body design is particularly useful when working with wire lengths that exceed the vise body. This vise is appropriate for HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and maintenance professionals who regularly work with small-diameter bits, probes, or wires in confined areas.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose pin vise compatible with tool shanks and wire diameters up to 0.055 inches in applications requiring hand-held precision tool holding.

Installation Notes

No power tools or fasteners are required to use this pin vise. Insert the tool shank or wire into the collet jaw and tighten by hand until secure before beginning work. Inspect the collet for wear or damage before use with very fine drill bits to avoid breakage. For wire feed-through applications, ensure the wire diameter does not exceed the maximum jaw opening of 0.055 inches.
