Irwin 226303ZR 3″ Clamp-On Bench Vise

The IRWIN Record 226303ZR is a portable, light-duty clamp-on bench vise designed for quick setups wherever you work. With a 3″ jaw width and a table clamp that fits benches up to 2″ thick, it mounts in seconds without drilling holes or dedicating permanent space. The body is manufactured from durable cast iron and machined on key contact points for smooth travel and reliable jaw alignment. A long screw and steady guide track help the jaws open and close cleanly, so parts stay put during filing, cutting, light drilling, and assembly work.

This clamp-on vise includes an anvil shaping horn for quick peening and bracket tweaks, plus integrated pipe jaws that hold round stock and tubing for small repairs. For mobile techs, students, and DIY users with limited bench space, the 226303ZR supplies dependable gripping power in a compact, easy-to-move form—ideal for apartments, jobsite carts, and temporary work tables.
