Everyday Power, Apprentice Precision

The Wilton 5-Inch Apprentice Bench Vise delivers rugged holding power in a compact, everyday format. Engineered with 72,000 PSI ductile iron—providing 2X the strength of standard grey iron—this vise is built for durability and high-performance workshop tasks. With a clamping force of up to 6,600 lbs, it is the ideal choice for cutting, grinding, shaping, and general repair work.

Its low-maintenance bullet-style design keeps the internal components protected, ensuring a longer tool life with less downtime. The precision-machined slide rail provides smooth and accurate clamping, while the 360° swivel base with dual lockdowns offers rock-solid stability at any angle. Additionally, a large anvil surface provides a dedicated workspace for hammering and layout tasks. Backed by Wilton’s Lifetime Warranty, this vise is a reliable anchor for any shop.
