This 70mm jaw vacuum base bench vice from AB Tools is ideal for hobbyists and home users needing a versatile and portable clamping solution for small repairs, light maintenance, and craft projects. Its key benefit is the powerful, lockable vacuum base that attaches securely to any smooth surface without edge fastening. A potential caveat is that the vacuum grip relies heavily on the smoothness and cleanliness of the mounting surface for optimal stability. Key features include a 360-degree rotating and lockable vacuum base, a 360-degree lockable ball joint for adjustable angles, V-grooved jaws for round objects, and removable rubber jaws to protect surfaces.

The vacuum base attaches best to non-porous, smooth, and flat surfaces such as glass, polished metal, or sealed laminate. It will not hold effectively on textured, rough, or porous materials.
Wipe the vice with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure the vacuum pad and mounting surface are clean for optimal performance. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
This vice is designed for light maintenance, hobby work, and crafts. Its clamping force and stability are not intended for heavy-duty metalworking applications.
The jaws have a maximum opening width of 70mm.
Yes, the rubber vice jaws are removable and designed to protect delicate surfaces from marring.
The 360-degree rotation of the base and the swivel head allows you to adjust the workpiece to the most convenient angle for working, improving accessibility and ease of use for detailed tasks.
No, the vacuum base allows for tool-free setup on compatible surfaces. Only manual tightening of the vice handle is required to clamp a workpiece.
Ensure the mounting surface is perfectly smooth, clean, and dry. Verify the lockable lever is fully engaged. Check the vacuum pad for any debris or damage.
This vice has a maximum jaw opening of 70mm. It is designed for smaller items. For larger workpieces, a different type of vice is required.
Ensure no debris is obstructing the ball joint mechanism. Try slightly loosening the main adjustment knob before attempting to move the ball joint, then re-tighten securely.
Ensure the workpiece is positioned correctly within the jaws. For very smooth or hard materials, consider adding a thin piece of grip material (like rubber or sandpaper) between the jaws and the workpiece.
