Overview

Bench vise1 is a compact vise measuring about 2 by 7.8 by 6.2 inches and weighing 3.8 pounds. The title identifies it as a vise even though Amazon files it under the Clamps category, and its light build points to small-scale bench work rather than heavy metalworking.

Full-size shop vises are typically cast iron and weigh well over 10 pounds; at 3.8 pounds this one is built lighter, which usually means a smaller clamping capacity and less rigidity under heavy load. That tradeoff suits hobby and craft tasks better than sustained metal fabrication. Confirm jaw width against your project before buying, since Amazon's listing gives overall footprint rather than jaw opening.

  • Weighs 3.8 pounds
  • Footprint of 2 x 7.8 x 6.2 inches
  • Title identifies it as a vise
  • 4.2 rating from 29 reviews

Who it's for

Hobbyists, crafters, or anyone holding small parts steady for filing, drilling, or gluing. Not sized for heavy metalworking or large stock that needs a full cast-iron shop vise.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Compact footprint suits small benches
  • Light enough to reposition easily
What to check first
  • Light build limits heavy-duty use
  • Jaw opening not specified on the listing

Performance notes

At 3.8 pounds with a footprint under 8 inches on its longest side, this vise mounts to a small bench or table without needing reinforced support underneath. That size and weight place it in light-duty territory rather than the sustained heavy grip of a full shop vise.

What size workspace does Bench vise1 fit?

Its compact footprint of 2 by 7.8 by 6.2 inches suits small benches or tables rather than large workshop setups.
