Description

The Tradesman XC Vise is designed to handle the most demanding clamping applications under the most extreme environmental conditions. Unlike most vises that have a fixed center nut, all Tradesman round channel vises use a nut anchored at the rear which provides straight line pull and even pressure resulting in greater durability. The round channel design also allows for a completely enclosed spindle and nut assembly keeping debris out and lubrication in for a lifetime of smooth operation. For ultimate versatility, all Tradesman Vises are equipped with main jaws, pipe jaws, and a machined anvil work surface. The Tradesman XC models also include electroless nickel coating of key components, prolonging life in corrosive environments. Key Features: • Coated components last up to 5x longer before onset of corrosion • Enclosed design keeps lubrication in and contaminants out for a lifetime of smooth operation • Redesigned spindle assembly improves overall product life and durability • Precision slide bar eliminates movement in the front jaw regardless of opened distance • Machined steel serrated jaws with electroless nickel coating provide increased durability and an extended life of use • Reversible jaw inserts are serrated on one side for extra grip and smooth on the other to prevent marring on softer surfaces • 60,000 PSI ductile iron body, jaw and base is virtually indestructible with 2X the strength of grey cast iron • Longer spindle nut ensures smooth movement and a stronger straight-line pull • Large anvil designed to take a beating while forming and shaping materials
