Ridgid 40175 Vise, BC2A Bench Chain

Bench chain vises mount to a workbench, tabletop, or other flat surface for use where pipe threading, cutting, and welding are part of everyday operations. They tighten their chain around pipe to lock it down and prevent rolling or shifting. The chain holds irregularly-shaped materials that might be unstable in a yoke vise or V-head stand. A pipe rest at the back of the vise supports pipe along its length.
