Bench Vice Yato YT-65136

The Bench Vice Yato YT-65136 is a compact aluminum bench vice designed for secure clamping of workpieces in workshop, garage or hobby settings. Constructed from durable aluminum, it combines reduced weight with stable clamping performance. With jaws measuring 150 mm in width and 55 mm in height, this bench vice accommodates a range of materials and small to medium workpieces while providing consistent grip and alignment during handling, filing, drilling or assembly operations.

Advantages

The aluminum construction gives the vice a favorable strength-to-weight ratio, making it easier to mount, reposition and transport compared with heavier cast-iron models. Precision-machined jaws provide even pressure distribution across the clamped surface to minimise marring and improve work accuracy. A compact footprint and straightforward screw mechanism ensure simple operation and maintenance for frequent use in both professional and DIY contexts.

Suitable for

• Holding metal, wood and plastic parts for filing, sawing or drilling
• Light assembly and repair tasks in home workshops and garages
• Hobbyist projects that require secure, repeatable clamping
• Temporary workstation setups where a lightweight vice is preferred

Key specifications

• Material: durable aluminum body
• Jaw width: 150 mm
• Jaw height (throat depth): 55 mm
• Compact, low-profile design for limited bench space
• Screw-type clamping mechanism for controlled force application

How to use

Secure the bench vice to a stable workbench using appropriate fasteners through the base mounting holes. Open the jaws by turning the handle counterclockwise, position the workpiece between the jaws, and tighten by turning the handle clockwise until the piece is held firmly but without excessive force that could deform the material. For repetitive tasks, check alignment and re-seat the workpiece as needed. Regularly clear chips and debris from the screw and jaw surfaces to maintain smooth operation.

Usage recommendations

Use soft jaw protectors or thin scrap material between the vice jaws and delicate workpieces to prevent surface damage. Periodically apply a light lubricant to the screw and sliding surfaces to extend service life and ensure consistent clamping action.
