Bench vice AWTools AW24208, cast metal, weight 10 kg

Bench vice AWTools AW24208 is a cast-metal workshop clamping tool weighing 10 kg, designed to secure workpieces during filing, sawing, drilling and assembly. The body is made from grey cast iron with a powder-coated finish for corrosion resistance and durability. A 360° swivel base allows positioning and locking of the vice at different angles, and the unit mounts directly to a workbench using the integrated mounting holes. Replaceable hardened serrated jaws deliver high clamping force and a non-slip grip, while the integrated anvil and chrome-plated handle and lead screw support light hammering and precise adjustment.

Advantages

The AWTools AW24208 offers a stable cast-iron construction that resists bending and functional wear in everyday workshop use. Its powder-coated finish reduces surface corrosion, and the swivel base increases flexibility by enabling rotation and fixation at any position. Hardened, serrated, replaceable jaws ensure secure grip on various materials, and the chrome-plated handle and lead screw provide smooth operation and long service life. The integrated anvil adds multifunction capability beyond simple clamping.

Suitable for

• Holding metal, wood or plastic workpieces during filing and sawing
• Securing components for drilling and tapping operations
• Assembly and light welding preparation work
• Hobbyist projects and small workshop repair tasks
• Shaping and light hammering using the integrated anvil

Key specifications

• Material: Grey cast iron body with powder-coated finish
• Weight: 10 kg
• Swivel base: 360° rotation with locking positions
• Mounting: Fixed to workbench via mounting holes
• Jaws: Replaceable, hardened and serrated for non-slip grip
• Anvil: Integrated for shaping and light hammering
• Handle and lead screw: Chrome-plated for corrosion resistance and smooth operation

How to use

Mount the vice securely to a stable workbench using appropriate fasteners through the provided mounting holes. Position and lock the swivel base at the desired angle. Open the jaws by turning the chrome-plated handle counterclockwise, place the workpiece between the jaws and tighten by turning the handle clockwise until the serrated jaws engage the material without excessive force that could damage the workpiece. Use the integrated anvil for light hammering and shaping; avoid heavy striking that exceeds the vice's intended use. Replace jaws when worn to maintain clamping performance.

Usage recommendations

For safe and long-lasting service, fasten the vice to a solid bench, use appropriate fasteners rated for the bench material, and avoid overloading the vice beyond typical hobby and light professional tasks. Inspect jaws and the lead screw periodically for wear and lubricate the lead screw as needed to maintain smooth operation.
