Pin Vices

A pin vice is a small type of hand drill/holder used in watch, clock and jewellery making.

• The pin vice features an adjustable chuck which holds drill bits, wire or pins
• This chuck is the reason for the word "vice" in the name
• A pin vice consists of four main sections: a chuck, a screw-on head which covers the chuck bar the tip, a barrel, usually no more than four or five inches long and a rotating knob at the base
• The barrel and head are often knurled for better grip. To fit a bit into the pin vice, the user partly unscrews the head, loosening the chuck
• The user then inserts a drill bit or whatever he requires into place, tightening the chuck
• The chuck will now hold the bit firmly in place

Pin vice sets prove to be very useful in your busy workshop by having many sizes ready available to hand.

Ideal for holding small tools including drills, broaches and burnishers plus for holding materials for working on including rods and wires.
