ON THE WORKBENCH
George Dent looks at the new products to land on his workbench this month
Hold It Steady (1)
This universal vice, from the Modelcraft range, is manufactured from lightweight aluminium and nickel-plated steel. Fixed to the workbench with a screw clamp, the vice itself can be tilted and rotated to allow the work to be approached from all angles. The steel jaws come with removable rubber grips to protect delicate materials and objects and the jaws can be opened to a maximum of 55mm. In use, it has proved to be a reliable vice for modelmaking and light duty tasks, with the tilting and rotating facilities proving most welcome.
