Bench Vices AWTOOLS AW24224 Weight 20 kg

The AWTools AW24224 bench vice weighs 20 kg and is designed to provide stable, rigid clamping for a variety of workshop and DIY tasks. The main body is made from high-quality grey cast iron with a powder-coated finish to resist corrosion and wear. The fixed base mounts directly to a workbench through mounting holes, offering a secure installation. Replaceable hardened and serrated jaws deliver a strong non-slip grip, while the integrated anvil supports light hammering and shaping operations. A chrome-plated handle and lead screw ensure smooth operation and long service life.

Advantages

The AWTools AW24224 combines a heavy cast-iron body and a fixed base to minimize movement and vibration during clamping, improving precision during machining and filing. Hardened, serrated replaceable jaws provide reliable grip on metal, wood and plastic workpieces and can be renewed when worn. The integrated anvil adds functional versatility for minor hammering tasks, while the chrome-plated screw and handle reduce friction and corrosion for consistent performance over time.

Suitable for

• Metalworking: filing, drilling, sawing and light milling
• Woodworking: planing, sanding and gluing operations
• DIY and home repairs where stable clamping is required
• Automotive and small-engine maintenance tasks
• Hobby projects requiring secure holding of small to medium workpieces

Key specifications

• Weight: 20 kg
• Body material: grey cast iron
• Surface finish: powder-coated body
• Jaw type: replaceable, hardened and serrated jaws
• Base: fixed base with mounting holes for bench installation

How to use

Securely fasten the bench vice to a sturdy workbench using appropriate bolts through the mounting holes in the fixed base. Place the workpiece between the jaws and turn the chrome-plated handle to advance the lead screw until the jaws clamp the workpiece firmly but without over-tightening. Use the serrated jaws to prevent slippage; if clamping soft or delicate materials, insert protective pads to avoid surface damage. For light hammering or shaping, use the integrated anvil while holding the workpiece steady in the vice.

Usage recommendations

Regularly clean the lead screw and apply light machine oil to the screw and sliding surfaces to maintain smooth operation. Inspect jaw condition periodically and replace the hardened jaws when worn to preserve clamping performance. Avoid exposing the vice to prolonged moisture and store in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
