A Bench Vice is a must for any mechanic or fitter to fit in a shed or garage. When purchasing a vice, it can be difficult to gauge the sizes unless there are familiar objects standing next to it with a standard or known scale. Familiarity with the manufacturers scale can prove useful, otherwise it is a hit or miss process. The rule of thumb is the price - these two vice are the same size and are reasonably small, however can be used for more precise work e.g. holding a coil or a brake calliper.
I recently disassebled an old kitchen unit, carefully stripped out of a house that was being renovated, ideal for a garage workbench and storage and ideal for mounting a couple of vice. Everything but the kitchen sink!
Vice's repainted and mounted to give example of scale
Both Vice are the same size, this photo is slightly misleading as taken further away.
