🔧 What it does & how to use
A hand vice of this type is a general-purpose holding tool used by watchmakers, clockmakers and jewellers to steady parts while cutting, filing, polishing, riveting or fitting. The two brass jaw plates stay perfectly parallel as they close, guided by the knurled steel pins, so pressure is applied evenly across the workpiece rather than at an angle. Its wide 1–40mm range makes it useful well beyond fine watch parts — cases, clock plates, larger movement components, wire, jump rings and other jewellery findings can all be held securely.
- Turn the knurled handle to wind the jaws open to the required width
- Place the workpiece flat between the two brass jaw faces
- Tighten the two threaded clamping screws evenly to grip the piece
- Hold the fixed handle in hand to steady the vice while you work
- Loosen the screws to release or reposition the workpiece as needed
