Overview
This is a 2-inch mini table clamp and bench vise from COGNATIVE, weighing about 0.98 kilograms, built with a cast body to clamp onto a table or bench edge for small hobby and repair work.
Mini bench vises like this clamp directly to a tabletop or bench edge rather than needing a permanently mounted base, which makes them useful for hobby benches, jewelry work or model building where a full-size vise would be more than needed. The cast construction and 2-inch jaw give it more rigidity than a plastic clamp-on vise, at a weight of roughly 0.98 kilograms.
- 2-inch jaw width
- Cast body construction
- Clamps to table or bench edge
- About 0.98 kg
Who it's for
Fits hobbyists, jewelry makers and model builders who need a small, portable clamp-on vise for light work rather than a permanently bolted shop vise. Not intended for heavy metalworking or large stock that needs a full-size bench vise.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Clamps onto a table edge without permanent mounting
- Cast construction for added rigidity
- Compact size suits hobby benches
- 2-inch jaw limits it to smaller workpieces
- Not a substitute for a full-size bolted vise
Performance notes
Clamping onto the table edge rather than bolting down means setup and removal take seconds, and the cast body adds rigidity for its size, though a 2-inch jaw limits it to smaller stock than a full-size shop vise would handle.
