Bench Vice Stanley MaxSteel 1808129, heavy-duty bench vise, 6 in (150 mm) jaw width, 360° swivel base

Bench Vice Stanley MaxSteel 1808129 is a heavy-duty bench vise with a 6 in (150 mm) jaw width and a 360° swivel base. Designed to secure workpieces during cutting, filing, drilling and assembly, this bench vise provides firm clamping and adjustable positioning for a variety of workshop tasks. Its robust steel construction and wide jaws offer stable holding for metalworking and woodworking operations while the swivel base allows precise orientation without repositioning the workpiece.

Advantages

The vise combines durable steel construction with a precision-machined screw and hardened jaws to deliver long service life and consistent clamping pressure. The 6 in (150 mm) jaw width accommodates larger workpieces, and the 360° swivel base enables quick repositioning for multi-angle access. A secure locking mechanism on the base keeps the vise stationary when required, and the overall design supports repetitive tasks with minimal play.

Suitable for

• Holding metal parts for cutting, grinding and filing
• Securing wooden components during sawing and sanding
• Clamping workpieces for drilling and tapping
• Assembly and repair tasks in home workshops and garages

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 6 in (150 mm)
• Swivel base: 360° rotation with locking mechanism
• Construction: heavy-duty steel body and jaws
• Clamping type: screw-driven vise mechanism
• Intended use: metalworking and woodworking bench applications

How to use

Mount the vise securely to a stable workbench using appropriate fasteners. Open the jaws to fit the workpiece, position the piece between the jaws and turn the handle to tighten until the workpiece is held firmly without deformation. If needed, rotate the swivel base to the desired angle and engage the base lock to fix the position. Release the handle to remove the workpiece when the operation is complete. Regularly check fasteners and adjust as necessary to maintain stable mounting.

Usage recommendations

Use protective jaw covers or soft pads when clamping delicate materials to avoid surface damage. Keep the screw and slide rails clean and lubricated for smooth operation. Do not exceed the intended clamping force for thin or brittle materials, and ensure the vise is bolted to a bench capable of withstanding applied loads.
