The Eclipse 9" Quick Release Vise features a front mounted lever which disengages the vise screw to permit rapid opening and closing of the vise, meaning that you can quickly adjust the opening of the vise to either release or clamp a piece you're working on. It is fitted with an adjustable front stop (dog) that gives additional clamping facility when used with a bench stop, to provide a normal vise and a tail vise in one tool. To increase safety, the fused tommy bar will bend before the vise can become over-stressed. This vise features heavy cast iron and steel construction; a 10.24" maximum opening; 1" diameter guide rods and main screw; and 9" wide x 4" deep jaw faces predrilled for mounting wood jaw cushions, plus 2 predrilled holes and 2 cast tabs for mounting screws (screws not included). This vise is well constructed and will provide years of trouble-free service.
