Designed to deliver WILTON’s durability and performance at an accessible price point, the Apprentice Vise line includes six models to meet a broad range of user needs.
Ideal for small shop owners, automotive mechanics, and MRO technicians, the expanded lineup introduces three new additions: a 5-inch vise, a heavy-duty 6-inch model, and a compact 3-inch clamp-on vise, joining the existing assortment of 4-inch and 6-inch models, as well as a versatile 5 1/2-inch multi-purpose vise.
“Our goal with the Apprentice Vise line is to provide dependable, professional-grade performance across a complete range of sizes and applications,” said Patrick Gordon, senior product manager for Wilton Vises. “With Wilton's full line of 70-plus vises, some of which are made in the U.S., customers can find the right vise for their workspace, whether it's a home shop, auto mechanic, or industrial facility."
Engineered with direct input from end users, the Apprentice Vises (other than the 3-inch clamp-on model) feature WILTON’s fully enclosed bullet design for enhanced durability, consistent clamping force, and long service life.
Each unit is built with castings that are up to two times stronger than standard gray cast iron reinforcing WILTON’s commitment to quality and reliability.
