BESSEY BV-VB Vacuum Base Vise, Silver

This vice works great as a medium sized desk vise. The base holds tight at different positions, the rubber on the jaws is easily removed or put back on if you need it. The suction for me works perfectly, incredibly sturdy. Also, one quick mention, it’s very versatile at the adjustable base: there’s a clearly intentional opening that allows you to flip the vise to face upward at a perfect 90 degree angle, and the back of the head of the vise rests on the surface. If you have suction, then out the vice in this position, it’s incredibly study for drilling, Dremel (which I use a lot), and sawing. It’s also just well made and heavy. Great vise for a desk you can beat up that’s easy to use. Highly recommend it, and in tandem with a small precision vise.

I've been tinkering in my garage workshop for years, and let me tell you, the BESSEY BV-VB Vacuum Base Vise has been an absolute revelation. This thing clamps down with vacuum power that's like a black hole for tools – nothing budges, even when I'm torquing on stubborn bolts or shaping wood with my sander. The silver finish looks sleek and professional on my bench, and at just under 3 pounds, it's surprisingly lightweight without sacrificing any strength. Setup was a breeze: just pump it up, and it suctions to any smooth surface like glass, tile, or even my old workbench top. No more drilling holes or hunting for clamps that slip. It's held up flawlessly through dozens of projects, from bike repairs to custom knife making, and shows zero signs of wear. If you're tired of flimsy vises that let you down mid-job, this is your upgrade. Highly recommend – BESSEY nailed it! Worth every penny.

The vacuum base didn't work on my workbench. That said, it worked like a champ on polished marble. Product appears to be well made.

I live in San Francisco so I don't have a garage to work on projects, everything is done in my living room. As such I don't have space for a large bench to drill holes into so I was looking for a vacuum mounted vise so I can use it in different places on my small work table. I read reviews and saw YouTube videos of people being disappointed with the suction power of the vise. Saying it loses suction after one minute and every video I see people aren't yanking on the vise with any force. Just lightly pushing it around to show that it's anchored. Once I got this, I was so surprised. For the money I am extremely happy with it. When I attach it to my table it doesn't go anywhere. I pull on it on different directions and this baby is stuck on solid. After 5 minutes it does lose suction power, but I mitigate that by resetting the vacuum every time I'm about to apply force/torque on the object being held. I used this to hold on to parts when I was upgrading my 3d printer and I'm completely satisfied with this vise. It's great for small projects. P.S. The quality of materials is is very good. It doesn't feel cheap at all (I thought the round collar looked cheap from the pictures but it's solid metal). The rubber caps on the ends of the handles are a nice touch and the rubber caps on the vise jaws are useful for holding plastic parts without damaging them. They don't fall off easily for me, unlike another clamp-style vise I bought on here. P.P.S. Forgot to mention, the handle for adjusting the jaws rotates very smoothly, unlike my other vise. It's very easy to tighten/loosen the vise jaws with one finger.

My apologies that my camera drifted, I’ve never made a video for a product. BESSEY VACUUM VICE COMMENT RECAP: pull base lever up to solidly seal rubberized suction bottom to ANY surface without damaging surface - the vice is on a quartz counter in the video. Lever down to release vice. Vice is lightweight for portability but don’t think it isn’t sturdy because it is, removable rubber grips on vice to work on fragile items while grips are removable for using without them on other objects. Wide girth opening along with great tight sealing when vice needs to be minimalized. I think I paid about $33.00 for vice. Extremely well made. My husband is very pleased with the many items he has been able to adjust with this vice and would recommend it to anyone.

This was a present for my Horologist Dad. He wanted a small vacuum vice for his workbench to do watch work and for his hobby of building model kits. He seems very happy with it!!

This is almost to good!!!

It's compact and very suitable for desktop mini crafting projects! I especially love the swivel, allowing me to adjust the clamp instead of re-clamping the project!

Bought this to replace a clamp on vise and I’m super impressed. The 360° swivel is amazing and although other reviews say the suction doesn’t last long…on my glass side table it’s still firmly stuck days later. Great for locksport
