Faithfull Mechanics Vice - 100mm (4in)

SG cast iron, also known as Ductile Iron, has graphite shaped into spheres rather than flakes. This structure makes the material significantly stronger, more ductile, and less brittle, resulting in a virtually unbreakable and lighter vice compared to those made from traditional grey cast iron.

The magnetic plastic jaws are designed to simply adhere to the fitted steel jaws via magnets. Ensure the steel jaws are clean and dry for optimal adhesion.

Yes, the included magnetic plastic jaws are ideal for clamping round materials without causing damage or slippage.

This is a 100mm (4 inch) mechanics vice, referring to the maximum width of the jaws.

Yes, the vice is supplied without mounting bolts. You will need to select appropriate bolts based on the thickness and material of your workbench.

The integral anvil is suitable for light to medium hammering tasks. For very heavy impact, it's advisable to use a separate anvil.

It is recommended to lubricate the main screw and sliding surfaces periodically, especially after cleaning or if the vice feels stiff. A light machine oil is sufficient.

Clean the main screw and sliding surfaces of debris. Apply a light machine oil to these areas and work the handle back and forth to distribute the lubricant.

Ensure the vice is securely bolted to the workbench. Check that the jaws are clean and free from oil or grease that could cause slippage. Tighten the handle firmly.

Clean the affected area with a soft cloth. Apply a light coat of machine oil to protect against further corrosion. Ensure the vice is stored in a dry environment.

Ensure the steel jaws underneath are clean and dry to allow for maximum magnetic adherence. If damage occurs, replacement magnetic jaws can be purchased.
