WVA3CO, Wilton Clamp-On Apprentice Vise, 3 inch

The Wilton Apprentice 3-inch Clamp-On Vise delivers professional-grade holding power in a compact, portable design. Whether you're working in the garage, fabrication shop, trailer, or on the jobsite, this versatile vise securely clamps to virtually any work surface—giving you a stable workstation without permanently mounting it to a bench.

Engineered with high-strength 65,000 PSI ductile iron, the WVA3CO is built from materials that are up to twice as strong as conventional gray cast iron vises while delivering an impressive 1,800 pounds of clamping force. Despite its lightweight, portable design, this vise provides the strength and durability needed for cutting, filing, drilling, assembly, and countless other shop tasks.

The quick-release clamp-on base attaches securely to work surfaces up to 3 inches thick in just seconds, making it easy to move the vise wherever it's needed. A swivel base with dual lockdowns allows you to position your workpiece 45 degrees left or right for maximum comfort while ensuring it stays securely in place throughout the job.

Designed for versatility, the WVA3CO features replaceable hardened steel jaws, integrated pipe jaws for holding round stock, and a built-in anvil for light hammering and shaping. The precision-machined slide system provides smooth operation and even clamping pressure across the jaws, helping you work more accurately and efficiently. The reversible sliding jaw and removable dowel pins allow for clamping oversized (up to 4.5 inches) and irregularly shaped parts.

Whether you're a DIY enthusiast, mechanic, fabricator, or maintenance professional, the Wilton Apprentice Clamp-On Vise offers the portability, strength, and legendary Wilton durability to handle everyday shop projects with confidence. Backed by Wilton's Lifetime Warranty, it's a vise you'll rely on for years to come.
