Ridgid Top Screw Bench Chain Vises

HIGHLIGHTS:

The Ridgid Top Screw Bench Chain Vise is a heavy-duty, bench-mounted pipe holding tool designed for secure clamping of pipe during cutting, threading, and fitting operations. The crank handle is anchored to the base, and the rugged cast-iron base includes a handy pipe rest and bender — combining multiple functions into a single, durable bench fixture. Available across five models with capacities from 1/8" through 8", the series covers a comprehensive range of pipe sizes for plumbing, pipefitting, and mechanical contracting applications.

Two models in the chain vise range are also available specifically for plastic pipe, featuring toothless, neoprene-coated jaws that prevent scoring or damage to the pipe surface during clamping — an important consideration when working with PVC and other plastic pipe materials.
