Description
Versa Vise: The Ultimate Versatile Vise
The Garrett Wade Ultimate Versatile Vise can be fully oriented in two axes at the same time, giving you infinitely greater options in positioning. The versa vise head can fully rotate around its vertical mount, and with its unique offset arm, it can also pivot around horizontal axes. It can even be remounted horizontally to hold your work over the edge of your workbench. With versatility unequaled by any other shop vise available, the Versatile Vise is as useful for general shop and metalwork as it is for the woodworker, patternmaker and carver. This unique workbench vise is highly recommended for all working shops - it will pay for itself 100% the very first time you use its full capabilities. We are now shipping our newest version with improved castings.

More Info
Quality Workbench Vise
This is a tale that requires a bit of history telling: Many decades ago, a small vise company in Ohio made a bench-top cast-iron vise that could be oriented on two axis simultaneously. We loved it. Our customers loved it. But sadly, it disappeared.
Then some years ago, a similar versa vise appeared on the market, but it was not the same. It was a decent tool but was a shadow of its former self because it was limited to one-axis orientation. What was missing was an Accessory Mount that transferred the "Frog into a Prince." We knew this, but apparently no one else figured it out because no improvement ever appeared. So we resolved to do it ourselves. Months later we have succeeded at creating the ideal workbench vise with the invaluable help of historical Flintlock builder and restorer, Jerry Crawford.
Garrett Wade's endeavor to bring the Ultimate Versatile Vise to our customers would not have been a success without the critical contributions of our new friend, and innovative craftsman, Jerry Crawford of Colorado.
Jerry is a retired woodworker and contemporary builder of 17th and 18th-century black powder rifles, as well as an inspired inventor and all-around ingenious tinkerer. History buffs in the black powder community or those who have visited the annual turkey shoot of the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association in Friendship, Indiana are probably aware of Jerry's reputation as a skillful craftsman and creative innovator, and his generous help and guidance were critical to the success of our versa vise effort.
Thanks, Jerry, for your vital assistance in the development of the Ultimate Versatile Vise, which we hope will bring many woodworkers great satisfaction.

Excellent Vice
"I work as a gunsmith, and this vice is perfect for working on parts at almost any angle. Strong enough to hold an entire barreled action, yet small enough to hold little parts for shaping. It isn't my only vice, but it's the one I use most."

Q&A
- What country are Garret and Wade tools made? I will pay a bit more to buy from other countries EXCEPT communist ones like China.
- Hello Rick, Garrett Wade tools are designed in the USA, but the manufacturing locations can vary. We source our tools from different countries, focusing on high-quality craftsmanship. You may want to check specific product descriptions or contact Garrett Wade customer service directly to ensure the tools you're interested in are not made in countries you prefer to avoid. However, the item you're interested in which is Ultimate Versatile Vise, is made in Taiwan.
- I may be interested in the "add on jaws" you referenced in the answer to a question posted in 2021, however I am unable to find them on your website. Do you still offer those "add on jaws" and if you do can you provide a link to where I might look at them? Thank you.
- Discontinued.
- Did you know it's spelled Axis, not Axes?
- AXIS
- I am looking for a vise that has a 3 bolt triangular anchoring base to match the spacing of holes on my bench. Can you provide the dimensions between the holes for the anchoring bolts and any other information that can help me?
- Kenneth, the 3 mounting holes are all 4 3/4" centre to centre from each other. Thank you.
- Hello, I have an older ultimate vise I purchased from Garrett Wade but it does not have the accessory arm and knob. Please advise how to purchase one separately either from you or the manufacturer. Thanks.
- Bob, I'm afraid the vise comes to us from Taiwan as a complete unit and consequently we don't sell individual parts. Thank you.
