Pipe Vice

A pipe vice is an apparatus which enables a pipe to be held tightly. Complete with two half-circle jaws, the pipe vise can be tightened to grip a pipe and hold it securely while it is being worked on. Often a feature of a common bench vise, the addition of a pipe vise makes the bench vise an all-purpose tool capable of performing many more tasks. The teeth of a pipe vise are critical in the gripping success of the tool, as rounded or dull teeth allow the pipe to slip and roll even though the pipe vise is tightened.
