What is the purpose of the anvil?
The integrated anvil is a flat surface used for hammering, shaping, or straightening metal components that are being worked on.

Troubleshooting
Vice jaws do not close completely.
Check for obstructions between the jaws or debris in the screw mechanism. Clean and lubricate the screw mechanism.
Swivel base is stiff or difficult to lock.
Ensure the base is clean and free from grit. Apply a light lubricant to the swivel pivot and locking components. Check that all locking bolts are loosened before attempting to swivel.
Inconsistent clamping pressure.
Inspect the main screw for damage or wear. Ensure the workpiece is positioned centrally between the jaws for even pressure distribution.
Rust spots appearing on the surface.
Wipe the affected areas with a slightly oiled cloth. Ensure the vice is stored in a dry environment and apply a protective oil coating if storing for extended periods.
