Bench vice AWTOOLS AW24294 10.5 kg

The AWTools AW24294 bench vice weighs 10.5 kg and is designed to provide stable, reliable clamping for a wide range of workshop and DIY tasks. The body is made of SG ductile cast iron with a powder coated hammer-tone finish for corrosion resistance and a durable appearance. A swivel base allows rotation and positioning for improved accessibility, while removable hardened serrated jaws and additional V-jaws enable secure holding of flat workpieces and round pipes. Chrome-plated steel components, an integrated anvil and a lead screw with adjustment knob and safety ends contribute to long-term, consistent performance.

Advantages

The SG ductile cast iron construction combined with chrome-plated moving parts ensures both strength and wear resistance. Removable hardened serrated jaws provide a reliable grip and can be replaced if worn, and the additional V-jaws expand functionality for pipe and round stock. The swivel base with the ability to be fixed directly to a workbench adds positional versatility, and the built-in anvil and pipe holder increase the vice’s practical uses. Overall, the design balances rigidity, corrosion protection and serviceability for workshop environments.

Suitable for

• Clamping workpieces for filing, sawing, drilling and sanding
• Holding round and cylindrical items using V-jaws
• Light to medium metalworking and woodworking tasks
• General repair, maintenance and DIY projects in garages and workshops

How to use

Mount the swivel base securely to a stable workbench using appropriate mounting screws and fasteners. Position the vice and lock the swivel base to the desired working angle; the vice can rotate both vertically and horizontally to improve access. Open the jaws using the lead screw, place the workpiece between the jaws or in the V-jaws for round items, then tighten using the adjustment knob until the workpiece is held firmly without deformation. Use the integrated anvil for light hammering tasks and the pipe holder for additional support when working with cylindrical materials. Regularly inspect jaws and moving parts and replace removable jaws if they show excessive wear.

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective operation, select a mounting location on a sturdy bench, ensure all fasteners are torqued correctly, and avoid over-tightening thin or soft materials to prevent damage. Keep the lead screw lightly lubricated, clean serrated jaws from debris after use, and replace worn jaws to maintain secure clamping. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection) when cutting or grinding held workpieces.
