Multi Vice

This is a fantastic bit of kit. It's very handy the way you can quickly alter the direction of the jaws using the ball socket. Very user-friendly. It clamps easily to my 60mm thick bench. I particularly like the way I can attach my Dremel 4000 and 8200 to it. I find myself smiling every time I use it! As some people have mentioned, the materials the vice is made out of may be problematic for some uses. Around two thirds of the vice is plastic or nylon. Just try to imagine what you may need this for and bear in mind these limitations before purchasing and you are less likely to be disappointed. This is perfect for its intended use - hobby level jobs in conjunction with the Dremel range. If you want to cut large or chunky pieces of metal or wood with a saw I would suggest you look elsewhere. However, if you are a model maker I can't imagine a job this could not handle. Even a pro level model maker would benefit from having this in their workshop as an additional vice. I have three other vices, all for different tasks, so I suppose I am not the average reviewer here who may be looking for a tool that can handle any job. I certainly don't think this is a vice that can do that. Obviously, it would be better if made entirely of metal, but pay a great deal more and you can have that. This is a very versatile - and in my opinion well designed - vice that can handle a large array of tasks so long as you keep in mind the limitations. In other words, try not to over-tighten anything or stress the jaws with heavy objects. Just use common sense really. As an example: I had to cut through some 10mm bolts. Usually, I would have put the bolt in a vice and then use a Dremel to cut the bolt. With this vice and its materials in mind, it was a more sensible approach to attach the Dremel to the vice and hand hold the bolt against the cutting wheel. That way I didn't damage the jaws of the vice by trying to get a tight grip of a metal bolt in delicate rubber jaws. Two bolts were cut perfectly in about a minute with no damage to myself or the vice! Well worth the money and a pleasure to use. I also bought the workstation at the same time. Both are valued additions to my studio. If you are an artist or maker and use Dremels, these are both essential - and I reckon both are very reasonably priced.

A really useful tool for model making,as with dremel products it’s well made and is really versatile, I can use it as a holder for my dremel lite and use sanding and polishing attachment’s, the main vice has removable jaw protectors , I can angle it in any position so that is useful for a small work bench, I can have the work piece in front of me and when not in use I can simply swing it to one side when not in use , I can remove the vice from the stand and use it on the work bench, adjustment of the jaws is easy with a hand screw and quick move button, it holds to the bench with a hand screw and comes with a protective pad to prevent making marks on your table,All in all it’s good for light hobbies but if you need to be doing heavy work get a metal vice.

This vice, frankly, is amazing. For a pretty affordable price you can get a fully articulating vice that can also be used to mount your Dremel and move your workpiece that way. So far the strength has been good but given its plastic construction is many places, I see this maybe not lasting too long, though the jury is still out. The screw that mounts the vice to the table is made of plastic and is likely failure point, the screw thread that is used for tightening the workpiece is also plastic and can see that as a failure point. The size is pretty compact, you can tuck it away to another corner of your table/desk when not in use and barely notice it there. Assembly is pretty straight forward, it comes in two pieces and simply slide the jaw onto (what would be) the lead screw.

Cannot rate this highly enough for anyone who does any model work or intricate carving, etc. Very versatile, great build quality, and multi-functional (1) clamp/vice alongside (2) a static holder for Dremel tool to allow both hands to bring material to the Dremel rather than other way round. I would say that with being a lot of plastic/rubber involved, it's not super strong but then if that's what you need you'd use a proper metal vice. This is more handy for when you're doing small model work in indoors (not necessarily a garage/workshop environment for which there may well be better tools available). The ball joint is really easily loosened and reorientated which is great versatility for when you want to move the material you're working on around quickly and efficiently. The button and turn-screw clamp mechanism is also very handy because you can use the button to quickly put the jaws semi-tight to the product and then turn-screw the handle for that tight clamp force required. The rubber jaws can be removed for the sturdier grip on something you're not so worried about marking with excessive force.

I bought this for my elderly mother to use for clamping small pieces of wood for that she uses for woodcarving and pyrography, and she's really pleased with how easy it is to use. The vice clamps on to tables very securely, and without damaging the surface, so it can be used pretty much anywhere you have a suitable work surface. The jaws of the vice are made of a rubbery plastic material and hold most items well without damaging them, but it wouldn't really be strong enough to hold something that required planing or heavy-duty sawing, for example. For anything requiring a lot of pressure, like planing, you should really be looking to use a carpenter's vice or workmate etc instead and then use the Dremel vice for any finer or more detailed work. But it does hold small pieces of wood securely enough for whittling or light woodcarving activities; my mother supports the piece with one (gloved) hand and uses woodcarving/whittling tools with the other hand - the Dremel vice helps keep the piece steady, which is a real boon for shaky hands.

While this allows me to mount my Dremel tool in a really handy Dremel designed vice, its a totally brilliant desk vice for anyone that may not have a Dremel already. Its a little bigger than I expected, but in a good way. The way that the vice securely mounts to my desk work area is brilliant, and the range of movement and adjustment is just great. Totally recommend one of these., with or without a Dremel.

It is a little ungainly to handle but it is so versatile I am sure I will use it frequently. Particularly useful is the ability to a clamp a Dremmel to the unit, allowing the rotating end to be positioned in almost any position. The vice has a quick release and removable soft and fixed hard jaws allowing it to secure items without damage. I love the ball clamp that allows the vice to rotate. A very clever, stable and ingenious product. Perhaps it would not be capable of working heavy metal or be suitable for really tought tasks.

This is a really nice vice, but don't buy it if you're hoping for a general purpose vice. Whilst it is strong enough for all dremel work, it simply isn't built for anything more demanding (such as sawing, chiselling etc.) The centre bolt and socket are very lightweight and the locking mechanism is made of plastic. That said, for using in conjunction with a Dremel it is faultless. It is very easy to set up and use and you can adjust the width and angle in a couple of seconds. Top marks for rotary tool usage, but nothing more.

Product delivered as ordered. The best bench vise for DIY'ers.

Perfekt für meinen Werktisch. Ich habe keine Dremel Werkzeuge zum Einspannen, aber meine anderen Kleingeräte passen super. Am besten gefällt die Drehfunktion des Schraubstockes.

Super
