Wilton 28811 Mechanics Pro Vise 5.5 in Jaw 360 Swivel

Product Description

The WILTON 28811, model 855M, is a heavy-duty mechanics pro vise built for professional shop and trade use. It features a 5.5-inch jaw width and a 5-inch jaw opening, giving technicians a wide clamping range for large workpieces. The 360-degree swivel base allows the vise to be repositioned without relocating the entire workbench setup, which saves time during complex fabrication or repair work. A built-in pipe jaw handles round stock from 0.25 inches up to 3 inches in diameter. At 37.9 pounds net weight, this is a substantial bench vise intended for permanent or semi-permanent mounting in a professional environment.

This vise is suited for automotive repair shops, mechanical contractors, fabrication facilities, and trade service bays where reliable workholding is a daily requirement. The four-point mounting pattern provides a stable footprint on standard steel or wood workbenches. The pipe jaw capacity makes it practical for plumbers and pipefitters who need to hold threaded pipe during cutting, threading, or assembly. The full 360-degree swivel base is particularly useful in tight shop layouts where the operator needs to change working angles quickly without breaking the setup.

Key Features

• 5.5-inch jaw width accommodates large and irregularly shaped workpieces
• 5-inch jaw opening for a wide clamping range
• 360-degree swivel base for full repositioning without remounting
• Integrated pipe jaw handles round stock from 0.25 to 3 inches in diameter

Compatibility

Designed as a direct bench-mount mechanics vise for professional shop applications requiring a 5.5-inch jaw width and 360-degree swivel capability.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mounting the vise to a suitable workbench using four fasteners through the base mounting holes. Power down or depressurize any equipment before clamping workpieces connected to live systems. Ensure the mounting surface can support a load well above the vise net weight of 37.9 pounds plus the anticipated clamping forces. Do not exceed the rated jaw opening of 5 inches to avoid stress on the screw mechanism.
