Bench Vices AWTOOLS AW24227 Weight 13 kg

The AWTools AW24227 bench vice weighs 13 kg and is constructed from high-quality grey cast iron with a durable powder-coated finish. It features a 360º swivel base that can be fixed at any position and replaceable, hardened serrated jaws that provide strong, non-slip clamping. An integrated anvil and chrome-plated handle and lead screw complete the design, making this vice suitable for general clamping, shaping and light hammering tasks in workshops and garages.

Advantages

The cast iron body offers rigidity and long service life while the powder-coated surface resists corrosion and wear. The swivel base allows flexible positioning of the workpiece without repositioning the entire tool, and the replaceable hardened serrated jaws ensure consistent grip and easy maintenance. The integrated anvil provides a stable surface for light shaping and hammering, and the chrome-plated handle and lead screw improve smooth operation and reduce wear over time.

Suitable for

• Holding metal and wooden workpieces during filing, sawing and drilling
• Light shaping, bending and hammering operations using the integrated anvil
• General workshop, garage and hobbyist repair tasks
• Precision clamping for machining and assembly operations

Key specifications

• Material: grey cast iron body with powder-coated finish
• Weight: 13 kg
• Swivel base: 360° rotation, fixable at any position
• Jaws: replaceable, hardened and serrated for non-slip grip
• Anvil: integrated for shaping and hammering

How to use

Secure the vice to a stable workbench using appropriate bolts through the base mounting holes and ensure the swivel base is tightened when a fixed position is required. Open the jaws by turning the handle counterclockwise, place the workpiece between the jaws, then tighten by turning the handle clockwise until the workpiece is held firmly but without deforming softer materials. Use the integrated anvil for light hammering or shaping, taking care to wear suitable personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the jaws and lead screw regularly and replace the jaws when worn to maintain clamping performance. Apply a light lubricant to the lead screw to preserve smooth movement. Avoid striking the vice body with heavy hammers; use the integrated anvil only for light shaping tasks. Mount the vice on a solid bench and check fastenings periodically for safety.
