Starrett 51137 Pin Vise 5 in Double End Collet

Product Description

The STARRETT 51137 is a double-end pin vise designed for holding small-diameter round stock, drills, reamers, scribers, and similar tools during precise hand operations. It measures 5 inches in overall length and accepts stock up to 0.04 inches (approximately 1.9 mm) in diameter, with a minimum capacity of 0.025 inches. The vise uses a special tapered collet jaw that provides maximum clamping surface across the capacity range, reducing the chance of slipping or marring delicate workpieces. Machinists, toolmakers, and instrument technicians rely on this type of vise for layout, light drilling, and fine assembly work.

The 51137 is suited for bench work in machine shops, toolrooms, and maintenance environments where small-diameter stock must be held securely by hand. The double-end configuration allows two different collet sizes to be accessed from a single handle, making it a practical choice when working across a range of small diameters in one session. It is commonly used in trade and industrial settings where precise control of small tooling is required.

Installation Notes

No power source is required for this hand tool. Ensure the collet is fully tightened before applying rotational force to avoid slipping. Inspect the collet and tapered seating surfaces periodically for wear or debris that could affect clamping performance. This tool is intended for hand use only and should not be chucked into a power tool.
