Irwin 226305ZR Record 5″ Heavy Duty Workshop Vise with Anvil

Built for everyday shop work, the IRWIN Record 226305ZR 5″ workshop vise combines a grey cast-iron body with precision-machined friction surfaces for smooth, predictable clamping. The aligned mainscrew and long-barreled, dovetailed nut deliver steady travel and even pressure, helping the jaws stay parallel under load. With more than 3,000 lb of clamping force available, this bench vise handles cutting, drilling, tapping, light straightening, and general assembly with confidence.

A full-rotation swivel base makes positioning quick, while an integrated anvil gives you a flat surface for peening and forming without leaving the bench. Aggressive steel jaws grip stock securely, and integrated pipe jaws add control on round material. A fused steel handle is designed to bend rather than damage the vise if over-torqued, and a safety stop helps prevent the slide from separating at full extension. For small fabrication shops, repair benches, and home garages, this 5-inch vise provides reliable holding power in a compact footprint.
