Ingco Bench Vice 6 HBV086 with Swivel Base and Anvil

Our review

This is a six-inch bench vice from Ingco, built around a swivel base so the jaws can be turned to face the work rather than the other way round. The 1,600kg maximum clamping force and 11.2kg body suggest it is aimed at a fixed workshop bench rather than a portable setup, and the integrated anvil gives you a flat surface for light hammering without reaching for a separate block. It suits a home workshop, garage or small fabrication bench where metal, timber and pipe get held for cutting, filing or drilling. Before buying, check your bench top is thick and solid enough to take the mounting bolts, and measure the jaw opening you actually need, since a six-inch vice is generous for small jobs and awkward on a cramped bench. Compare it with other swivel-base vices on jaw width, clamping force and whether an anvil is included, and weigh the 11.2kg against how permanently you want it fixed. Available on Sokonia.
