The Work IQ Vise System™ is a versatile, all-in-one workshop partner that acts like an extra set of hands - helping you work easier, faster, and smarter on any job.
I installed it with ease, and it is better for 99% of what I use a vice for. My heavy older vice could accept the blows of a sledgehammer and extreme torque, but the IQ vice is more convenient and more useful for everything else. It handles plenty of torque with the locking pin holding the ball in a fixed position. The quality is impressive. Don't hesitate with the purchase.
Purchased for inside my new horse float and they’re perfect. Will definitely buy again.
The versatility of this vice sets it above for me. As I have a closed bench, the ability to articulate outward as I work on larger items is a must. The accessories are fantastic and help being able to flexibly use extra lighting, a magnifying glass, and either film(for school) or watch tutorials while working on firearms.
I've been using this vise now for over a month. The first thing about the vise is its eye catching and an instant conversation piece. After you mount it on your bench, it will sit around for the first few days because you don't want to use it and get it dirty or mark it up. I even found myself doing things that should be clamped in a vice right next to it. Then comes the day where that eureka moment hits you and you seriously use the vise for the first time. After this, you're hooked, and it becomes the centerpiece of your workbench. Have used it for countless things now and have only had it for a month. I've clamped things like 8' 1/8”-1/4” metal and aluminum tube and angle iron for cutting, golf club shafts that are both metal and fiberglass, to clamping electrical components for soldering. I truly love this advice, and it was worth the extra money to purchase it.
The Work IQ Tools IQ Vise offers impressive versatility and functionality in a medium-capacity vise. Unlike conventional vises with fixed parallel jaws, this vise stands out for its unique design, reminiscent of the renowned cast iron Pattern Maker vise. While not as versatile as its predecessor, which was mounted beneath the bench, the Work IQ vise excels in its own right, offering comparable performance at a more affordable price point.Crafted from durable aluminum and steel, this vise operates smoothly and exerts significant clamping force, ensuring a secure workpiece grip. Its removable vise pads, featuring grooves and soft padding, easily accommodate pipes and other irregularly shaped objects. Additionally, the vise jaws can be swapped out for various insert options, enhancing its adaptability to different tasks.The inclusion of a comprehensive user manual and smart packaging further demonstrates the manufacturer's commitment to quality and user satisfaction. While the vise can be mounted directly to a benchtop using screws, I opted to mount it on an L-shaped wooden base for added mobility and versatility. This setup allows me to clamp the vise to different parts of the bench using clamps, expanding its usability.This vise offers exceptional flexibility with features like a locking pin for fixed horizontal or vertical positioning and adjustable access positions for diagonal or pitched configurations. However, I found that the cam lever clamp needs to be engaged even in fixed positions to minimize shaking.While the Work IQ vise may come at a higher price than traditional woodworking vises, its unparalleled versatility makes it a valuable addition to any workshop. As a woodworker, I appreciate its ability to tackle specialized tasks and handle challenging workpieces, complementing rather than replacing my existing bench vise.
This vice has several different options for the jaws to support a variety of projects and materials. I wanted a second vice to use for longer materials and projects to hold between them. I highly like the ability to rotate and adjust this vice in many different positions and easily lock it into that spot. It is very sturdy and made mostly of metal. The jaws are heavier than I thought they would be. The slide pin will lock the vice into the several position even without the quick release. It comes with mounting hardware too. I did use some bigger washers because I mounted it to wood and didn't want to stress
