Can this be used for outdoor work?

How do I prevent the jaws from marking my workpiece?
You can wrap the jaws in a soft cloth or utilize rubber or wood jaw covers when working with softer materials.
Is this vice suitable for heavy-duty metal forging?
No, this vice is designed for general light-duty metal clamping and hobbyist tasks, not for heavy industrial forging or high-force impact work.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your vice, secure the base to a flat, sturdy workbench using suitable bolts through the mounting holes. Ensure the mounting surface is thick enough to handle the torque applied during operation. To maintain the tool, keep the screw and slide bars clean of metal shavings and dust. Apply a light machine oil to the screw threads periodically to ensure the vice continues to operate smoothly and remains protected against rust.
