Mini Flat Clamp 3cm Adjustable Vise

This mini flat clamp is manufactured using a hybrid material specification: hardened alloy steel for jaw strength and wear resistance, complemented by austenitic stainless steel for rods and fasteners to resist oxidation in humid UK workshop environments. Maximum clamping capacity remains fixed at 3 cm (1.18 inches), with jaw faces measuring 1.8 cm wide × 0.9 cm deep. Base thickness is 1.2 cm, contributing to low centre-of-gravity stability. Total package weight is 192 g, including storage box (PP plastic, 9 × 6 × 4 cm). All four rods are identical (Ø3 mm, 80 mm length), and each comes with a dedicated silicone sleeve (ID 3.2 mm, OD 6.5 mm, length 25 mm) designed for snug retention and repeated compression cycles. The vise operates via a single M4.5 × 0.7 pitch thread with brass bushing — offering smooth actuation and self-locking behaviour at intermediate positions. Ten extra mounting holes (M3 tapped) are arranged in two staggered rows, facilitating angled or offset anchoring to avoid interference with adjacent tools or fixtures. It serves users whose workflow demands frequent transitions between stationary and handheld use — such as modellers sanding ABS parts mid-assembly, jewellers setting cabochons under loupe, or technicians probing SMD components with multimeter probes — all while maintaining positional fidelity and zero slippage.
