Open-Side Pipe Vise

The Forum Open-Side Pipe Vise is a rugged screw-type vise that will hold tubing, drillpipe, manifold fittings, valves – in fact, everything whether in the field, shop, or warehouse.

The Forum Open-Side Pipe Vise is easy to use. Equipment may be placed in it from any of three sides. The fourth side acts as a steadying and positioning guide. The counterbalanced handle can be rotated into position and quickly extended for extra leverage – and it is mounted efficiently at arm height, eliminating the fumbling commonly associated with the necessarily inaccessible handle of a chain vise.

The Forum Open-Side Pipe Vise is efficient because it covers a wide range of tubing, drillpipe, and casing sizes, plus those hard-to-hold items such as manifold fittings, valves, etc. One vise takes the place of the usual combination of vises generally required to cover a comparable range. It saves time and eliminates wasteful steps by concentrating operations at a single location. It saves space because it does the multiple jobs of many vises. It’s ideal for tough oilfield and shop service.

The Forum Open-Side Pipe Vise is safe because its positive grip eliminates the usually hazardous task of balancing equipment – and there’s no chance of a sudden, unexpected release due to an improperly placed or a broken link, because the sturdy screw holds the equipment in place.
