Locksmith's vice Top Tools rotating 60 mm — 60 mm jaw width, rotating base

Locksmith's vice Top Tools rotating 60 mm is a compact bench vice with 60 mm jaw width designed for holding small workpieces during metalworking, assembly and repair. The vice has serrated jaws for a secure grip and a screw mechanism that allows adjustable clamping force. A rotating base enables positioning of the clamped item without removing it from the jaws, making the tool suitable for precision tasks and repeated operations in a small workshop or hobby environment.

Advantages

The rotating base increases accessibility to the workpiece and reduces the need to unclamp and reorient parts when performing multiple operations. Serrated jaws provide improved grip on metal and some other materials, while the compact 60 mm jaw width keeps the vice lightweight and space-efficient. The simple screw mechanism is durable and easy to maintain, and the overall design is intended for straightforward mounting to a workbench or table.

Suitable for

• Holding small metal parts for filing, drilling and grinding
• Light assembly and repair tasks in home workshops
• Hobby and model-making projects requiring stable clamping

Key specifications

• Jaw width: 60 mm
• Rotating base for multi-angle positioning
• Serrated jaws for secure grip
• Screw clamp mechanism for adjustable clamping force
• Bench-mount design suitable for small workbenches
• Compact and lightweight construction for hobby and light workshop use

How to use

Securely mount the vice to a stable workbench using appropriate fasteners through the base. Open the jaws by turning the handle counterclockwise, position the workpiece between the jaws, and tighten the screw mechanism clockwise until the workpiece is held firmly without deformation. To change orientation, unlock the rotating base if applicable, rotate the vice to the desired angle, then re-lock the base before continuing work. Periodically clean serrations and apply light lubricant to the screw thread to maintain smooth operation.

Usage recommendations

Use protective jaws or soft jaw pads when clamping delicate or finished surfaces to avoid marring. Avoid applying excessive force beyond the vice's intended light-duty range and inspect mounting fasteners regularly to ensure safe, stable operation.
