Wilton Tradesman 1755 Vise Caters to a Balance of Strength and Size<\/h3>\n
We do a lot of projects from our shop in addition to the standardized testing we put our review tools through. Clamping is great when you’re benchtop allows for it, but there’s nothing like the security of a good bench vise. We set up a pair of Wilton Tradesman 1755 vise units to help us out for the kind of work we do day in and day out.<\/p>\n

Recommendation<\/h4><\/p>\n
The Wilton Tradesman 1755 vise is well-named. It’s a great fit for tradesmen across the board, whether you’re attaching it to your bench or your truck. If you use the anvil on your vise frequently, you might want to take a close look at the size on this model and make sure it’s large enough for your needs. As long as that’s in order, we think you’ll be pleased with the quality and strength of the build. <\/div>\n

General Design<\/h2>\n
Hold on a Minute<\/h3>\n
The Wilton Tradesman 1755 vise is a 5 1\/2-inch model, referring to the jaw width. It opens up to 5 inches with a depth of 3 3\/4 inches. Most of the material we need to hold with the main jaws maxes out around 4x, though we may have thicker material from time to time. This size gives us all the clamping capacity we need on any given day plus some wiggle room if we’re working on something thicker.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The jaw inserts are reversible. They come with the serrated side out, and that’s the way we nearly always use them thanks to the grip. If you flip them around, they’re smooth, letting you reduce the chances of marring the surface while it’s held.<\/p>\n
