Heavy-Duty Pipe Chain Vise, 1/8" - 5" Pipe Capacity, 26" Rugged Chain & Cast Iron Base, Hitch Mount Vise Plate Holder With Adjustable Height - Fits 2 Inch X 2 Inch Receiver

About these items These pipe vises are designed to handle a broad range of pipe sizes, making them suitable for various plumbing and welding tasks. The welding chain vise supports pipe diameters from 1/2' to 8', providing strong holding capacity for large pipe work. The bench chain vise version accommodates 1/8' to 5' pipes, offering flexibility for smaller pipe installation and maintenance tasks. This wide compatibility allows professionals and DIY users to handle different pipe sizes using a single reliable clamping tool. The pipe welding vise uses a dual-chain design with dual crank handles, allowing clamping pressure to be evenly distributed around the pipe surface. This design enhances stability and reduces the risk of pipe deformation during welding or assembly work. The chain tightening system provides secure holding strength, ensuring the pipe remains firmly fixed in position while adjustments or welding tasks are performed. Both models are constructed from durable cast iron designed to withstand demanding working environments. The robust material provides excellent resistance to pressure, heat, and deformation, making the tool suitable for welding and mechanical applications. The reinforced structure ensures stable operation during heavy-duty pipe handling tasks while maintaining long-term durability in workshops, construction sites, and maintenance environments. Precision-machined swivel nuts, pins, and chain screws help ensure accurate pipe positioning and reliable clamping force. The ergonomic crank handle allows users to tighten or release the chain smoothly for better control. On the bench vise model, detachable V-shaped jaws and bending dies provide additional flexibility for pipe bending and adjustment tasks. These features help improve working efficiency while supporting different plumbing and installation requirements. These pipe vises are widely used in plumbing installation, pipe welding, mechanical maintenance, and construction work. They provide stable support for pipe assembly, repair, cutting, and welding tasks. The hitch-mounted bench vise version is compatible with 2 x 2' hitch receivers, allowing it to be installed on trucks or service vehicles for mobile job sites. This versatility makes the vises suitable for workshops, garages, construction sites, and maintenance operations. Key Differences The pipe welding vise model (RG1461) is designed primarily for welding and pipe assembly tasks, supporting larger pipe sizes from 1/2' to 8'. It features a dual-chain clamping system with two crank handles, providing balanced clamping force for stable welding operations. The bench chain vise with hitch mount holder (RG1204S5) supports smaller pipes from 1/8' to 5' and includes a vehicle hitch mount plate with adjustable height, allowing it to be installed on service vehicles for mobile work. This version also includes replaceable V-jaws and detachable bending dies, enabling additional pipe bending and shaping functions.
