RIDGID® Quick-Acting Vise with Quick-Action Trigger Saves Time and Effort
ELYRIA, OHIO - June 2008 -New RIDGID® Quick-Acting Vises (Model Nos. XF-45 and XF-50) offer durability and efficiency features to save time and money. An innovative quick-action trigger allows users to effortlessly slide the vise jaws in and out for quick and easy adjustment to objects of all sizes.
The quick-action trigger reduces time and effort compared to traditional bench vises that rely solely on hand cranking to tighten and loosen objects. Ease of use is also enhanced with a 360-degree forged steel swivel base that allows for unlimited adjustability.
Available in two sizes, 4-1/2 inches (XF-45) and 5 inches (XF-50), the new vises are currently the only vises in the industry featuring both indestructible forged steel construction and the quick-action mechanism.
Other notable features include the patented jaw alignment system, which enables precise clamping and longer service life, and large capacity forged pipe jaws that securely clamp pipes and rods. Oversized, hardened jaws and anvil provide greater clamping on all work surfaces, while the steel handle's anti-pinch rings offer increased power and eliminate pinches.
According to Brad Crozier, product manager, pipe tools, "The new RIDGID Quick-Acting vises' innovative design enables greater efficiency on the job, saves time and money, and provides consistent performance for daily use."
