Description
The clamp-on bench vise for jewelers and metalworkers who need to reposition without re-clamping — a 360-degree swivel base locks at any angle in seconds, a 60mm cast steel jaw handles the full range of jewelry-scale work, and a built-in 40 × 30mm anvil adds a hardened striking surface without taking up extra bench space.
Key Selling Points
- 360-degree swivel base rotates to any clamping angle without loosening the workpiece — reposition the vise to match the cut, not the other way around
- 60mm (2.36 in) jaw width and maximum opening handles the full range of jewelry-scale workpieces, small metal stock, and wood blanks
- Built-in anvil (40 x 30mm / 1.57 x 1.18 in) provides a hardened striking surface for light hammering and forming work without a separate anvil block
- Cast steel construction with chrome-plated spindle and quench-hardened jaws for rigidity and long service life under repeated clamping pressure
- Non-slip jaw texture grips workpieces securely without requiring excessive clamping force that could damage softer materials
- Clamp-on throat design (up to 65mm / 2.55 in depth) mounts to most workbench and table edges without drilling or permanent installation
About This Bench Vise
Every jeweler knows the frustration of re-clamping a workpiece mid-task. You are halfway through a cut or a file stroke, the angle shifts, and you have to stop, loosen the vise, reposition, re-tighten, and re-check alignment before you can continue. Each interruption breaks your focus and adds time to a task that should be straightforward. The Tooltos 360-degree Swivel Bench Vise eliminates this problem by letting you rotate the entire vise to any angle while the workpiece stays clamped. Adjust the working angle in seconds without touching the workpiece — then lock the swivel and continue.
The integrated anvil adds a second function to the same footprint: a hardened 40 x 30mm (1.57 x 1.18 in) striking surface for light hammering, forming, and stamping work. The clamp-on throat design mounts to most bench and table edges up to 65mm (2.55 in) thick without permanent installation, making it practical for shared workspaces and portable setups.
Best For / Not For
| Best For | Not For |
|---|---|
| Jewelers and metalworkers who need to hold small workpieces at multiple angles during filing, sawing, and drilling | Workpieces wider than 60mm (2.36 in) — the maximum jaw opening is 60mm |
| Bench workers who need a clamp-on vise that mounts and removes quickly without permanent installation | Table edges thicker than 65mm (2.55 in) — the throat depth limit is 65mm |
| Woodworkers, DIY makers, and students who need a versatile light-duty vise for cutting, gluing, sanding, and planing | Heavy industrial clamping or high-torque machining — this is a light-to-medium duty bench vise for craft and jewelry-scale work |
| Workshops needing a combined vise and anvil in a compact footprint without adding a separate anvil block to the bench | Heavy forging or high-impact hammering — the integrated anvil is sized for light forming and stamping, not heavy blacksmithing work |

Pro Tips
- Mount the vise near the corner of your bench rather than the middle of the edge — corner mounting gives you more approach angles for the tool and reduces interference from the bench surface above.
- Use the 360-degree swivel to rotate the workpiece to the most natural cutting or filing angle rather than adjusting your body position — working at an awkward angle increases fatigue and reduces accuracy.
- Place a thin piece of leather or soft metal between the jaws and delicate workpieces to prevent jaw texture marks on finished surfaces.
- Tighten the swivel lock firmly before applying cutting or filing force — a partially locked swivel can rotate under load and shift the workpiece mid-cut.
- Use the integrated anvil for light stamping, forming, and straightening work — it provides a stable hardened surface without needing to move to a separate anvil block across the bench.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum jaw opening?
The maximum jaw opening is 60mm (2.36 in). This covers most jewelry-scale workpieces, small metal stock, and wood blanks. It is not suitable for workpieces wider than 60mm.
What table edge thickness does this vise fit?
The clamp-on throat depth is up to 65mm (2.55 in). Measure your bench or table edge thickness before ordering to confirm compatibility. No drilling or permanent installation is required.
Can the swivel base be locked at any angle?
Yes. The 360-degree swivel base can be locked at any position. Tighten the swivel lock before applying cutting or filing force to prevent the vise from rotating under load.
What is the anvil used for?
The integrated anvil (40 x 30mm / 1.57 x 1.18 in) provides a hardened striking surface for light hammering, metal forming, stamping, and straightening work. It is designed for light-duty jewelry and craft applications, not for heavy forging or high-impact work.
Will the jaw texture mark soft metals like gold and silver?
The quench-hardened jaws have a non-slip texture that can leave marks on soft metals at high clamping pressure. Place a thin piece of leather, copper sheet, or soft metal between the jaws and the workpiece to protect finished surfaces.
