FAQs

What is the maximum diameter this pin vice can hold?

The maximum capacity of this pin vice is 2.9mm.

Can I use this with a motorized power drill?

No, this is a manual precision tool intended for hand-held use only.

How do I change the collet size?

Unscrew the end cap, remove the reversible collet, flip it to the desired size, and reinsert it into the handle before tightening.

Does the tool come with drill bits?

No, the PPV1061 is the tool holder only; bits and taps must be purchased separately.

What is the benefit of the 6-sided body?

The hexagonal shape prevents the pin vice from rolling off your workbench when you set it down.

Troubleshooting

Drill bit slips during use

Ensure the collet size matches the drill bit diameter and tighten the end cap firmly.

Difficulty inserting a drill bit

Loosen the cap further or ensure you are using the correct collet side for the bit diameter.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Wide range of gripping capacities covering 0mm to 2.9mm
  • Anti-roll design keeps your workspace organized
  • Dual-ended functionality increases efficiency
  • High-quality build suitable for intricate detail work

Cons

  • Manual operation only; not suitable for use with power drills
  • Requires manual tightening of the collet caps
  • No integrated storage case provided for the collets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To configure the pin vice, unscrew the end cap, remove the collet, and flip or swap it to match the diameter of the drill bit you intend to use. Ensure the collet is seated correctly before tightening the cap back onto the body. For maintenance, keep the collet threads clean and free of debris or metal filings to ensure smooth tightening. Periodically check the collet segments to ensure they close evenly around your drill bits; if the tool becomes stiff, a light drop of precision machine oil on the threads can restore smooth operation.
