Benefits of Portable Vises

When it comes to assembling or breaking down parts in the field, it's hard to beat the convenience of a portable vise. At Pipe Vise, we are dedicated to designing and manufacturing innovative tools specifically for industrial professionals. Our portable vises help professionals work faster, safer, and with less hassle. Here's why a portable vise belongs in every field technician’s kit.

1. Eliminate the Two-Wrench Struggle

Every technician knows the balancing act: one pipe wrench to hold the part, and another to wrench. Not only can this be frustrating, but double wrenching with two pipe wrenches increases your chance of slippage and/or injury. Our spring loaded jaws grip parts and hold them securely in place, so you can focus on wrenching and not a balancing act.

2. Easy To Carry

Service technicians are very rarely rewared the opportunity to work in a cozy and organized shop. Each and every job site is different. Whether you're working on a rooftop via ladder access, or in a tunnel under a commercial building with limited access, space and ease of transportation of tools can be critical. Our portable vises are lightweight and easy to transport. Their compact size offers a leg up over chain vises when space and weight determine what tools you can bring with you.

3. Reduce Hand and Wrist Strain

We totally understand, you're six foot tall and bulletproof right now. But if you're planning on being in the trades for the long run, you better listen to the old timers who warn you to take care of your body. Just take it from our lead designer, Chris who has been a master plumber for over 40 years here in Texas. Chris' number one regret in the trade was not focusing on the health of his knees, wrists, back, etc. Pipe Vise portable vises grip and hold parts, so you don't have to. That means fewer wrist injuries, less overexertion, and a better experience day after day, especially in demanding breakdown jobs or mass prefab assembley setups.

No adjustment wheel. No banging the jaws to adjust. Just clamp and go. Pipe Vise’s self-adjusting jaws automatically adapt to the size of the pipe or fitting, letting you move quickly between parts without stopping to adjust your tool.
