Wilton 28823 Mechanics Vise Swivel Base 8 Inch Jaw

Product Description

The WILTON 28823 is a multi-purpose mechanics vise with a swivel base, designed for heavy-duty clamping and holding tasks in professional shop environments. The 28823 features an 8-inch jaw width and a jaw opening of 9.5 inches standard or 11.75 inches in the reversed position, giving technicians added flexibility for larger workpieces. A 5-inch throat depth accommodates irregular stock and oversize components. At 79 pounds, this is a substantial bench-mount vise built for repeated use under demanding service conditions. It is appropriate for automotive, mechanical, and fabrication applications where a stable, repositionable grip is required.

This vise is suited for automotive repair shops, mechanical service bays, and general fabrication environments. The swivel base allows the vise to rotate and lock at multiple angles, making it practical for bench work involving pipes, bar stock, sheet metal, and mechanical assemblies. It is a direct fit for trade professionals who need a reliable stationary clamping solution at a fixed workstation. The old model number for this vise was WIL14800, so technicians sourcing a replacement for that unit will find the 28823 is the current equivalent.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a mechanic or shop technician using standard hardware. The vise should be mounted to a solid workbench capable of supporting at least the vise weight plus expected workload. Secure all mounting bolts fully before applying clamping load. Always release clamping pressure before rotating the swivel base to avoid stress on the mounting hardware.
