Stanley 83-069M Bench Vise 3 Inch Jaw Clamp-on Swivel

Product Description

The STANLEY 83-069M is a compact bench vise designed for light-duty clamping and holding tasks in a shop, garage, or trade work environment. Built from cast aluminum, it weighs 3.64 pounds, making it easy to reposition without sacrificing rigidity for its size. The clamp-on base attaches directly to a workbench edge without permanent fasteners, and the swivel base allows the jaws to rotate for angled work. With a 3-inch jaw opening capacity, it handles small parts, pipe fittings, conduit sections, and hardware common in plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical work.

This vise suits residential and light commercial shop setups where a portable, non-permanent clamping solution is needed. The clamp-on mounting style makes it practical for job-site use or shared bench space where a dedicated bolt-down vise is not appropriate. Electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians who need a secondary holding fixture for cutting, threading, or bending small-diameter materials will find the 3-inch jaw capacity adequate for most bench-top tasks. The swivel base extends versatility by allowing repositioning without removing the vise from the bench.

Installation Notes

A licensed tradesperson or experienced shop user can mount this vise without special tools beyond tightening the clamp-on mechanism securely to a bench edge. Ensure the bench surface thickness falls within the clamp range before mounting. Do not exceed the jaw opening capacity or apply side-load forces that exceed the aluminum frame rating. No permanent fasteners or drilling are required for installation.
