FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


My hydraulic pump was working fine and now all of the sudden it seems to have quit. What's wrong?

      If your pump seems like it just quit working, or is only working in one direction, check to be sure that the coupler fitting is all the way tight. This fitting sometimes works it's way loose and affects the flow. Be sure all the pressure is released before checking.

  The UPGRADE Vise has a CAPACITY of 2-1/2" Diameter Round.

 

What is the Adjustable Height Vise?

This is a very worthwhile upgrade if you do a lot of notching that requires a  flush fit on one side. Floor pans on race cars are a good example.  No more sticking shims under the tube and guessing if it's going to be right. This vise has graduated markings and a pointer so you can get the right setup each time.
