Dremel Multi Vice

This is a fantastic bit of kit. It's very handy the way you can quickly alter the direction of the jaws using the ball socket. Very user-friendly. It clamps easily to my 60mm thick bench. I particularly like the way I can attach my Dremel 4000 and 8200 to it. I find myself smiling every time I use it!As some people have mentioned, the materials the vice is made out of may be problematic for some uses. Around two thirds of the vice is plastic or nylon. Just try to imagine what you may need this for and bear in mind these limitations before purchasing and you are less likely to be disappointed. This is perfect for its intended use - hobby level jobs in conjunction with the Dremel range. If you want to cut large or chunky pieces of metal or wood with a saw I would suggest you look elsewhere. However, if you are a model maker I can't imagine a job this could not handle. Even a pro level model maker would benefit from having this in their workshop as an additional vice. I have three other vices, all for different tasks, so I suppose I am not the average reviewer here who may be looking for a tool that can handle any job. I certainly don't think this is a vice that can do that. Obviously, it would be better if made entirely of metal, but pay a great deal more and you can have that.This is a very versatile - and in my opinion well designed - vice that can handle a large array of tasks so long as you keep in mind the limitations. In other words, try not to over-tighten anything or stress the jaws with heavy objects. Just use common sense really. As an example: I had to cut through some 10mm bolts. Usually, I would have put the bolt in a vice and then use a Dremel to cut the bolt. With this vice and its materials in mind, it was a more sensible approach to attach the Dremel to the vice and hand hold the bolt against the cutting wheel. That way I didn't damage the jaws of the vice by trying to get a tight grip of a metal bolt in delicate rubber jaws. Two bolts were cut perfectly in about a minute with no damage to myself or the vice! Well worth the money and a pleasure to use.I also bought the workstation at the same time. Both are valued additions to my studio. If you are an artist or maker and use Dremels, these are both essential - and I reckon both are very reasonably priced.

A really useful tool for model making,as with dremel products it’s well made and is really versatile, I can use it as a holder for my dremel lite and use sanding and polishing attachment’s, the main vice has removable jaw protectors , I can angle it in any position so that is useful for a small work bench, I can have the work piece in front of me and when not in use I can simply swing it to one side when not in use , I can remove the vice from the stand and use it on the work bench, adjustment of the jaws is easy with a hand screw and quick move button, it holds to the bench with a hand screw and comes with a protective pad to prevent making marks on your table,All in all it’s good for light hobbies but if you need to be doing heavy work get a metal vice.

Good light weight vice. I use it for holding electronic circuit boards and wood marquetry items. Also you can secure Dremel multitool which is a bonus for light buffing or polishing jobs. Not sure how it would fare with more heavy duty work. Expensive for what it is hence for stars.

Don’t know how I Managed before, This Product is a Great Bit of Kit.Holds Everything, Swivels Every Direction, Clamps to Anything and is a Good Price.

Cannot rate this highly enough for anyone who does any model work or intricate carving, etc. Very versatile, great build quality, and multi-functional (1) clamp/vice alongside (2) a static holder for Dremel tool to allow both hands to bring material to the Dremel rather than other way round. I would say that with being a lot of plastic/rubber involved, it's not super strong but then if that's what you need you'd use a proper metal vice. This is more handy for when you're doing small model work in indoors (not necessarily a garage/workshop environment for which there may well be better tools available). The ball joint is really easily loosened and reorientated which is great versatility for when you want to move the material you're working on around quickly and efficiently. The button and turn-screw clamp mechanism is also very handy because you can use the button to quickly put the jaws semi-tight to the product and then turn-screw the handle for that tight clamp force required. The rubber jaws can be removed for the sturdier grip on something you're not so worried about marking with excessive force.

Good vice for hobbyist

easy to set up & use.

There vice unit came as a job lot with the Dremel drill that I purchased. It didn’t come with any instructions, so I’m not certain what all the components do, there are a few additional parts that don’t immediately give away what they’re for. The vice has a number of plastic parts, which means they’re not that robust but I guess if the task needs a tougher vice then the task needs something more than a Dremel.
