1745 Tradesman Vise with 4-1/2" Jaw Width, 4" Jaw Opening & 3-1/ - Wilton Corporation

The Wilton 1745 Tradesman Vise (model 63199) is a heavy-duty bench vise engineered for the demanding environments of professional automotive, industrial, and fabrication shops. Designed to provide stable and repeatable clamping, this vise facilitates critical repair, assembly, and fabrication tasks on steel, aluminum, and a wide array of components from passenger vehicles, light trucks, and heavy equipment.

Key Features

• Professional-Grade Ductile Iron Construction: Built from 60,000 PSI ductile iron for the body, jaws, and base, this vise offers exceptional durability and an extended service life under consistent impact, side load, and heavy torque applications, outperforming standard gray cast iron alternatives.
• Protected Spindle System: A fully enclosed round channel effectively shields the spindle and nut from common shop contaminants like grinding dust and metal chips, while retaining lubrication to ensure consistent, smooth operation and longevity.
• Versatile Jaw Design: Features precision-machined serrated steel jaws for a secure grip during cutting, drilling, and pressing. These reversible jaws also present a smooth side for delicate materials and include integrated pipe jaws for securely holding fittings, exhaust sections, and hydraulic lines.
• Stable and Precise Clamping: With a 4-1/2" jaw width, 4" jaw opening, and a precision slide bar, the front jaw maintains accurate alignment at any extension, minimizing chatter and part movement during critical sawing, filing, or pressing tasks.
• 360° Swivel Base with Anvil: The full-rotation swivel base, equipped with dual lockdowns, allows for optimal positioning of workpieces, enhancing accessibility for tools such as impact guns, die grinders, and welding torches. An integrated anvil surface provides support for light forging, straightening, and bracket forming.

Applications

This vise is ideally suited for automotive and truck repair shops, fleet maintenance facilities, industrial MRO operations, and fabrication benches. Common tasks include securely holding brake components, brackets, bushings, suspension hardware, threaded fittings, and small weldments for precise cutting, grinding, pressing, or assembly work.
