WEBVTT 00:00:00.256 --> 00:00:02.091 Hi, I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van 00:00:02.091 --> 00:00:04.565 Freedom. This is my MYTEC clamp-on bench 00:00:04.565 --> 00:00:06.358 vise. I didn't use it very often, 00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:07.552 but on the few occasions when I 00:00:07.552 --> 00:00:08.960 needed it, it worked well for my 00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:11.342 purposes. Here is where a small movable 00:00:11.342 --> 00:00:13.902 vise fits into a van-building workshop that 00:00:13.902 --> 00:00:15.247 changed with the job. 00:00:15.438 --> 00:00:18.063 The matching product picture shows screw-operated jaws 00:00:18.083 --> 00:00:19.535 above a clamp-on base. 00:00:19.662 --> 00:00:21.382 Those parts do different jobs. 00:00:21.479 --> 00:00:23.058 The jaws hold the workpiece, 00:00:23.058 --> 00:00:24.892 while the lower clamp attaches the tool 00:00:24.892 --> 00:00:26.408 to the edge of a work surface. 00:00:26.642 --> 00:00:28.669 Opening the jaws is separate from making 00:00:28.690 --> 00:00:30.164 room for the table edge. 00:00:30.313 --> 00:00:32.532 My build photographs show the outdoor saw 00:00:32.532 --> 00:00:34.537 setup and the timber drawer frame on 00:00:34.537 --> 00:00:36.585 my patio. Those were different places where 00:00:36.585 --> 00:00:38.570 the work happened. They show the wider 00:00:38.591 --> 00:00:41.758 moving-workshop context around my equipment purchases. 00:00:41.936 --> 00:00:44.433 The workshop footage illustrates measuring and holding 00:00:44.454 --> 00:00:45.670 work at a bench. 00:00:45.862 --> 00:00:47.696 Work holding starts with the size and 00:00:47.696 --> 00:00:48.764 shape of the piece. 00:00:48.848 --> 00:00:50.683 A small bracket or fitting presents a 00:00:50.683 --> 00:00:52.997 different job from supporting a long panel. 00:00:53.133 --> 00:00:55.054 The diagram separates the workpiece, 00:00:55.096 --> 00:00:56.717 the jaws and the connection to the 00:00:56.717 --> 00:00:59.555 bench. A vise provides one holding position 00:00:59.661 --> 00:01:01.561 rather than the whole supporting surface. 00:01:01.752 --> 00:01:03.544 My owner review is a short one. 00:01:03.544 --> 00:01:04.824 I did not reach for this vise 00:01:04.824 --> 00:01:06.678 very often. When I needed it, 00:01:06.678 --> 00:01:08.428 it worked well for my purposes. 00:01:08.683 --> 00:01:10.881 That limited experience is the account behind 00:01:10.987 --> 00:01:12.907 my purchase, without turning it into a 00:01:12.907 --> 00:01:15.766 claim about every material or every workshop 00:01:15.766 --> 00:01:18.640 task. The patio frame photograph shows how 00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:20.987 much room the larger assembly occupied. 00:01:21.072 --> 00:01:23.568 The outdoor saw photograph shows another working 00:01:23.589 --> 00:01:26.746 arrangement. Storage, transport and the place where 00:01:26.746 --> 00:01:28.538 I was working were all part of 00:01:28.538 --> 00:01:31.565 organizing the kit. A compact clamp-on tool 00:01:31.585 --> 00:01:33.377 occupies a different role from a broad 00:01:33.377 --> 00:01:36.962 worktable. My page compares two researched alternatives. 00:01:37.047 --> 00:01:40.197 One is another three-inch clamp-on swivel vise. 00:01:40.360 --> 00:01:43.176 The IRWIN drill-press vise uses a low-profile 00:01:43.176 --> 00:01:45.161 slotted base for a drill-press table. 00:01:45.267 --> 00:01:47.635 Their matching pictures show the mounting difference. 00:01:47.741 --> 00:01:49.363 The bench edge clamp and the slotted 00:01:49.363 --> 00:01:52.277 machine-table base are different arrangements to compare. 00:01:52.416 --> 00:01:54.080 Thanks for watching. I'm Steve Smith with 00:01:54.080 --> 00:01:56.640 Camper Van Freedom. My MYTEC vise was 00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:58.560 an occasional-use purchase that worked for the 00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:00.808 jobs I tried. The full review, 00:02:00.957 --> 00:02:03.815 build pictures, related workbench account and current 00:02:03.815 --> 00:02:05.480 buying options are linked below. 00:02:05.607 --> 00:02:06.816 Until next time.
