Wilton 28822 Reversible Mechanics Vise 6.5 Inch Jaw

Product Description

The WILTON 28822 is a reversible mechanics bench vise designed for professional trade and shop use. It features a 6.5-inch jaw width and a full 360-degree swivel base, allowing repositioning without releasing the workpiece. The vise mounts at four points for a stable, low-movement setup on any standard workbench. With a throat depth of 4 inches in the reversed position and a pipe jaw capacity ranging from 0.25 inches to 3 inches, this unit handles both flat-stock clamping and round-stock gripping in a single tool. It weighs 53.4 pounds, indicating a cast-iron or heavy steel build suited for sustained torque applications.

This vise is intended for use in automotive shops, maintenance facilities, fabrication benches, and general mechanical service environments. The reversible jaw design makes it suitable for tasks that require switching between standard flat jaws and pipe jaws without swapping tools. It is appropriate for licensed mechanics, machinists, plumbers, and HVAC technicians who need a reliable bench-mounted clamping solution for pipe work, fitting assembly, and component disassembly.
