Multipurpose Bench Vise

Choose VEVOR Multipurpose Bench Vises With 360 Swivel Bases for Any Shop Task

Need a vise that holds flat stock, grabs round pipe, and turns to the exact angle your hands want? VEVOR multipurpose bench vises are designed with large jaws and swivel bases that rotate 240 or 360 degrees, allowing you to move work without unclamping. From an easily portable 4 inch bench vise to a commanding 10-inch model, each is built for drilling, filing, cutting, and metalworking on a firm, locking base.

Jaw Size and Swivel Features Across VEVOR Multipurpose Bench Vises

The width of the jaws determines how much material you can hold, and the swivel determines how flexibly you can position it. Find a match for both to the work you are doing.

Small Jaws for Precise, Compact Work

Smaller multipurpose bench vises earn their keep for narrow benches and precise work. The 4-inch VEVOR bench vise has a 4.7-inch max jaw opening and a 2.24-inch throat. In contrast, the 5 inch bench vise offers a 5-inch opening and a 2.8-inch throat, both on ductile iron bodies with integrated anvils that provide a handy surface for light hammering.

These sizes are perfect for hobbyists, electronics and model builders, and anybody building small brackets, fittings, or trim that needs a secure grip without a huge space hog that eats up bench space. Like a multipurpose bench vice, it offers the same clamping precision.

Finishing out the compact category is a 4.5-inch jaw-width cast iron multipurpose bench vice, providing budget-conscious DIYers with a dependable grip for drilling and pipe cutting on a 240-degree swivel base. Each one locks down securely and keeps work rock solid.

For projects on a busy bench or those that require precise positioning, a smaller jaw keeps control. It minimizes clutter while delivering the clamping strength VEVOR builds into every machine.

Mid-Size Jaws for Everyday Versatility

The 6-inch and 6.5-inch multipurpose bench vises are the workhorses of the range, and most manufacturers end up with them. The 6 inch bench vise has a 5.9-inch jaw opening and a 360-degree swivel-locking base. The standout 6.5-inch unit features a forward & reverse opening multipurpose vise design with 6.5-inch forward and 9.3-inch reverse capacities for oversized work.

That reversing jaw is a real problem-solver, allowing you to clamp large frames, long panels, or unusual assemblies that a fixed jaw can't reach or hold securely. Heavy loads lock it down firmly with a ductile iron structure, and it handles clamp forces up to 5620 pounds.

VEVOR's mid-size multifunctional bench vises also have two-way jaws designed to hold round pipe, so plumbers and fabricators can go from flat bar to tube without grabbing a second tool. The 3-inch throat provides good clearance for deeper reach into the job.

This intermediate category is the real sweet spot for both value and everyday functionality across the portfolio. For one vise that covers the largest span of shop chores at once,

Large Jaws for Heavy Fabrication

When the work gets bigger, VEVOR's large multipurpose bench vises step in and take control. The 8 inch bench viseoffers an 8-inch maximum jaw opening and 3.7-inch throat depth. In comparison, the 10 inch bench viseoffers a full 10-inch opening and a deep 4.3-inch throat, both cast in heavy-duty ductile iron for substantial stiffness.

They are built for structural steel, thick plate, huge diameter pipe, and the kind of leverage that will bend or break a lighter tool. The 360-degree locking swivel base helps you spin a heavy object into position and secure it solid before you cut, weld, or grind with confidence.

Serious fabrication shops, welders, and trailer builders rely on this size class. The jaws and body can take hard, repeated use without complaint. It's not just a clamping tool. The built-in anvil lets you do more heavy shaping and straightening work.

If your projects often outgrow mid-size jaws, stepping up to larger jaws removes the choke point and maintains secure control of large, heavy work from initial setup to final finishing.

Double Swivel Rotation for Full Positioning

Many VEVOR multipurpose bench vises add a second axis of movement beyond base rotation. A double-swivel vise rotates at the base and the head. The 5-, 5.5-, and 6-inch double swivel multipurpose bench vises rotate your workpiece a full 360 degrees horizontally and tilt it vertically as well, for total access.

This double swivel multipurpose bench vise is ideal for welders and machinists who need to set a joint or edge at a specific angle without twisting their hands or repeatedly reclamping the part. Lock both axes, and the work is exactly where you put it.

The 5-inch sturdy version also provides a powerful 30 kN clamping force. It serves as a pipe clamping vise. It makes it a popular choice for tough household or industrial use. That dual-axis freedom also speeds up jobs with odd or compound angles.

The double swivel rotating vise turns a static clamp into a true positioning tool. It offers maximum flexibility on complex items.

Material and Duty Rating Guide to Multipurpose Bench Vises

A vise's durability depends on its material and clamp rating. That’s why knowing the difference matters: it helps you buy once instead of twice.

Cast Iron Versus Ductile Iron

The first thing to look for in a multipurpose bench vise is the material. VEVOR's 4.5-inch multipurpose bench vise is made of cast iron. This reliable, cost-effective solution handles steady DIY drilling, cutting, and clamping, with a 240-degree swivel base for common tasks.

Most of the range is built from ductile iron, and that upgrade matters more than the spec sheet might suggest. A ductile iron bench vise is much better than plain cast iron for resisting shock and cracking. When struck, it flexes a bit instead of shattering. That's exactly what you want when you're hammering, torquing, or bending hard stock.

This durability makes a heavy duty bench vise suitable for professional and industrial use, where the tool takes a daily pounding, shift after shift. The material also holds tight tolerances, with no fatigue or jaw drift over time.

Cast iron is ideal for occasional light-duty use. Still, ductile iron is the smarter long-term choice for demanding, recurring heavy-duty applications. VEVOR offers both on its multipurpose bench vises. It means you can match the build to your actual working load.

Clamp Force and Throat Depth Ratings

Regarding duty ratings, the numbers don’t lie, and VEVOR’s multipurpose bench vises pack a punch. The series offers variable clamping force, up to 30 kN on the 5-inch heavy-duty model and 5,620 pounds on the 6.5-inch model, so you can match holding power to what you are actually pushing through the vise.

The next item to look very closely at is throat depth. VEVOR’s range is 2.24 inches on the 4-inch model to 4.3 inches on the 10-inch model. That difference is larger than many think. A deeper throat allows you to clamp well back from the edge of a workpiece – actually beneficial when you are drilling or filing toward the center of a panel rather than along its corner.

And don’t forget jaw-opening. Compare it to the largest piece you’ll clamp routinely, and make sure the swivel locks securely under an actual load before you commit to any model. Built-in anvils and two-way pipe jaws offer day-to-day utility without adding more tools to an already packed bench.

A decent bench vise stops being a purchase you think about; it just becomes part of how you work. Match the clamping force, throat depth, and jaw breadth to your toughest routine duties.

FAQs

What jaw sizes do VEVOR multipurpose bench vises come in?

The range includes 4-, 4.5-, 5-, 5.5-, 6-, 6.5-, 8-, and 10-inch jaw widths so that you can match the vise to everything from compact detail work to heavy manufacturing.

What is the difference between cast iron and ductile iron multipurpose bench vises?

Cast iron is cheap and OK for light DIY applications. Ductile iron is much tougher to shock and crack; it will bend rather than shatter on impact and is therefore the tough choice for heavy, repeated professional use.

Can these vises clamp round pipe?

Yup. Many multipurpose bench vises feature two-way jaws designed to grip both round pipe and flat stuff securely. The 5-inch heavy-duty vise also functions as a pipe clamping vise, useful for plumbing and fabrication jobs.

What does a double swivel vise do?

A twin swivel rotating vise rotates at both the base and head, allowing you to rotate a workpiece 360 degrees and tilt it vertically. This gives welders and machinists fine angle control without having to reclamp the workpiece.
