Yost Vises 55C 5.5" Tradesman Series Industrial Grade Bench Vise Made in USA

Description

The Yost Vises multi-purpose reversible combination pipe and bench vise has a 360-degree swivel base, mounts to a workbench to provide clamping action for medium-duty applications, and is made in USA. The reversible front jaw expands the jaw opening for larger applications. The 360-degree swivel base adjusts the direction of the jaws for proper placement. Hand-tightening the two lock knobs on the base secures its position. The ductile iron body provides strength for extended life and has two flat portions that act as an anvil and additional work surface. The hardened-steel top jaws can be reversed to display either the smooth side for delicate items or the serrated side for enhanced grip, and they can be replaced when worn. The hardened-steel pipe jaws are serrated for enhanced grip and can be replaced when worn. The jaws draw closer together or farther apart by turning the vise handle clockwise or counterclockwise. The main screw that controls the jaws has been continuous rolled for high strength and is covered by a bar to protect it from damage. A rubber washer on either side of the handle prevents unwanted sliding when turning, and the balls on each end unscrew to enable replacement of the handle if worn.
