Bench vice

A bench vice, also known as a bench vise, is a mechanical device used to secure an object to allow work to be performed on it. It typically consists of two jaws—one fixed and one movable—that are brought together by a screw mechanism. The jaws of the vice can be tightened or released to hold or release the workpiece securely during tasks like sawing, drilling, filing, or other operations that require stability and precision.
