Every shop needs a good shop vise. They’re great for safely holding parts while you cut, grind, drill, sharpen or whatever it is you tend to do in your shop. Tekton makes great bench vises. Whether you need a smaller vise or a larger one, Tekton has you covered.
Vise Features
Tekton vises are made from tough 30,000 psi cast iron and 60,000 psi malleable steel. Jaw openings range from 3″ to 6-3/8″ depending on the specific model. The bases on the various models swivel anywhere from 180 degree to a full 360 degrees. All the vises come with removable serrated jaws. I really like the dark grey finish.
I’ll compare some of their most popular vises below:
