June 1, 2026
Wilton offers its Apprentice Vise line engineered to meet the requirements of everyday users. These vises feature Wilton's fully enclosed bullet design for long-term durability, optimal clamp forces, and castings that are two times stronger than standard gray cast iron, the company reported.
"We designed the Apprentice Vise line to give users a dependable, professional-grade vise they can count on-whether it is their first purchase, an upgrade, or part of a new workspace set-up," said Patrick Gordon, Product Manager for Wilton Vises.
Key features of the Wilton Apprentice vises include:
- Precision slide bar for smooth operation
- Secure mechanical locking base with 360° swivel
- Uniform clamping pressure across the jaws
- Replaceable jaws made from hardened steel
- Large integrated anvil work surface
- Dual lockdowns and four-bolt mounting pattern.
Available in 4" and 6" models, as well as the versatile 5-1/2" multipurpose vise, the Apprentice Vise line is engineered to offer a balance of strength, versatility, and value-ideal for small shop owners, automotive mechanics, and MRO technicians. The 4" model (WL1-107) offers up to 6,000 lbs. of clamp force, and the 5.5" model (WL1-111) and 6" model (WL1-109) offer up to 8,300 lbs. of clamp force.
