Locking Hand Vice, Parallel Action — 15.2 cm, Flat Serrated Jaws, Jewellery & Craft Work

Third-hand work — holding a flat component steady whilst you solder or assemble — is what this locking hand vice is for. Clamp it on and both hands are free. Because the action is parallel, pressure lands evenly along the jaw rather than pinching at one point, so delicate flat parts don't distort. Useful company for jobs like those in our guide to soldering sterling silver.

Flat serrated steel jaws grip sheet and wire without slipping, a knurled thumbscrew sets the clamping force before the compound lever locks it in, and the all-steel body wears a dark, non-reflective finish that keeps glare out of close work. At 15.2 cm, it sits comfortably in the hand.

• Flat, serrated steel jaws provide a non-slip grip on sheet metal and wire.
• Compound lever action keeps jaws parallel to apply even, consistent pressure.
• Locking mechanism holds components securely, freeing both hands for intricate work.
• Knurled thumbscrew allows for fine adjustment of the clamping force before locking.
• All-steel construction with a non-reflective, dark finish to reduce glare.
