Wilton 745 Mechanics Bench Vise 5 Inch

Overview

The Wilton 745 is a clamp weighing 45.6 pounds with dimensions of 15.8 by 10 by 9.4 inches.

Wilton built its reputation on heavy, bench mounted clamping and vise tools, and a 45.6 pound weight in a 16 by 10 by 9 inch footprint fits that pattern of cast metal construction meant to bolt down and stay put rather than travel. That mass is the clearest signal of build quality on this listing, since no material or capacity spec is given.

• 15.8 x 10 x 9.4 inch footprint

Who it's for

Suited to a workshop or garage setup where a heavy, bench mounted clamp gets bolted down for repeated use, given the 45.6 pound weight. Not practical for anyone needing something portable, since a tool this heavy is meant to stay fixed in place.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

At 45.6 pounds, this is a substantial, cast style clamp rather than a lightweight portable one, which typically means more rigidity and less flex under pressure once mounted. No jaw opening or clamping capacity is listed, so the exact working range is not confirmed here.
