Wilton 28845 Multi-purpose Bench Vise 6.5 in Swivel Base

Product Description

The WILTON 28845 is a multi-purpose bench vise designed for heavy-duty clamping, holding, and workpiece positioning in trade and shop environments. Built around a 6.5-inch jaw width and a 6-inch open capacity, this vise handles a wide range of workpieces found in plumbing, HVAC fabrication, electrical rough-in, and general mechanical work. The 360-degree rotating head base allows the operator to reposition the vise angle without remounting, saving time on complex or multi-angle work. At 61.6 pounds, the unit provides substantial mass for vibration resistance during cutting, threading, or grinding operations. It mounts via a 4-point base pattern for a rigid, stable connection to the workbench.

This vise is suited for trade shop environments where a single, versatile clamping station handles pipe, conduit, flat stock, and irregular workpieces. It fits well in HVAC sheet metal shops, plumbing fabrication areas, electrical contractor shops, and general maintenance facilities. The swivel base makes it particularly practical for positioning work at angles needed for filing, threading, or bending without moving the operator or the bench setup.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by the shop technician or tradesperson setting up the work area. Power down any nearby equipment before mounting to avoid interference during drilling or bolting operations. Secure the vise through all 4 mounting points using appropriately rated fasteners for the bench material to ensure the unit does not shift under load. Verify the swivel lock mechanism engages fully before applying clamping force at any rotated position.
