Vises

Vises are an essential tool for any automotive mechanic. They are used to hold workpieces in place while they are being worked on. There are many different types of vises, each with its own unique features.

The most common type of vise is the bench vise. Bench vises are typically mounted to a workbench and are used to hold small workpieces. They are available in a variety of sizes, with the most common size being 6 inches. Bench vises typically have a quick-release mechanism that allows the user to quickly and easily release the workpiece.

Another type of vise is the pipe vise. Pipe vises are designed to hold round objects, such as pipes. They are typically mounted to a workbench or floor and have a large opening that allows them to accommodate pipes of different sizes. Pipe vises typically have a screw-down mechanism that allows the user to tighten the vise around the pipe.
