Wilton 63238 Bench Vise 3 in Jaw 2.5 in Opening

Product Description

The WILTON 63238 is a bench vise designed for secure workholding in shop and trade environments. With a 3-inch jaw width, 2.5-inch jaw opening, and 1.1875-inch jaw depth, this vise provides a compact but capable grip range suited to light fabrication, plumbing rough-in prep, electrical conduit work, and general mechanical tasks. It is sized for benchtop mounting in a professional or jobsite shop setting. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade contractors commonly use a vise of this class for cutting, threading, bending, and holding workpieces during hand-tool operations. The unit weighs 5.9 pounds, keeping the overall bench load minimal.

The WILTON 63238 fits well in smaller shop setups, mobile service vehicles with fold-down workbenches, or secondary bench stations where a full-size vise is unnecessary. Its jaw dimensions make it appropriate for holding pipe, conduit, fittings, small stock, and sheet metal tabs. The compact jaw opening suits tasks where precision holding of smaller-diameter workpieces is the priority rather than clamping large structural members.

Key Features

• 3-inch jaw width provides a stable clamping surface for small to mid-size workpieces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style bench vise replacement or addition for standard benchtop mounting applications in trade and shop environments.

Installation Notes

Bench vises are typically installed by the tradesperson or shop technician using standard hardware appropriate to the benchtop material and thickness. Mount to a solid, level work surface using bolts that pass fully through the bench for maximum holding strength. Ensure the bench itself is anchored or weighted sufficiently to handle lateral clamping forces. Always clamp workpieces within the rated jaw opening and do not use pipe extensions on the handle to exceed designed clamping force.
