A Folding Vise for Work Vans

Sortimo re-thinks the design, ditches the workbench

For the traveling tradesperson, a vise can be a handy thing to have. However, vises as we know them are objects that you bolt to a workbench. And in the work vans common in Europe, there's simply no space. Thus Germany's Sortimo created this folding vise, designed to attach to the company's SR5 rack system.

The vise locks into position via a single pin. Deploying it and putting it away does take two hands, but it's pretty straightforward:

The vise weighs 14kg (31 lbs). It's available in both Europe and the U.S., but the company doesn't provide a price; you have to call a Sortimo dealer.
