Japanese-style small bench vise - Working tool Industrial design

A vintage Japanese-style mini cast-iron tabletop vise—a classic, compact tool for precision crafting. It features a solid, one-piece cast-iron body that is heavy and exceptionally rigid.

It boasts a measured jaw width of 55.5mm and a maximum opening of 55.5mm. The design utilizes dual guide rods paired with a precision lead screw mechanism; the handle operates smoothly yet firmly, ensuring a secure, wobble-free grip. It mounts to the edge of a workbench using a C-clamp mechanism, requiring no drilling; it is easy to install, remove, or relocate without scratching the work surface.

The paint finish shows natural wear and chipping from years of manual use, and the jaws bear traces of normal operation.
