A bench vice is a tool designed to hold materials tightly in place while you work on them. It is commonly fixed to a workbench and helps with tasks like cutting, drilling, filing, or shaping. The adjustable jaws grip the object securely, making your work safer and more accurate. Bench vices are widely used in workshops, garages, and by professionals like woodworkers and metalworkers. Some types come with a swivel base to allow better positioning. Using a bench vice keeps both hands free, helping you complete your job with more control and precision.
