It is suited for use for hobbies, electronics, small home repairs and standard work bench applications.PanaVises original small vise, perfect for both industrial and hobby applications. Turn, Tilt and Rotate Items for Industrial and Hobby Applications.The PanaVise 301 standard vise is lightweight yet durable and works well for industrial and hobby applications. The vise is designed around a vise head assembly connected to a die cast zinc base by PanaVises patented ball joint clamp system, known as a "split-ball." The split-ball system not only holds items within the vise head assembly securely in position, but also allows for maneuvering of them along three separate planes. The complete range of mobility possible with the model 301s split-ball joint clamp system is a 90-degree tilt to the left or right, along with either an angled rotation or level turn range of 360 degrees. This range of mobility allows the user to rearrange items being worked on into virtually any position limiting the need to adjust the overall position of the vise or the item within the vise. The PanaVise 301 Standard Vise delicately holding a bronze door knob during off-door repairs.The PanaVise 301 standard vise ships with PanaVises standard 303 vise head assembly, which contains a number of convenient features. The first of these revolves around its ability to securely and safely hold items. The smooth, removable nylon jaws of the vise head assembly are 2-1/2" (63.5 mm) by 1/2" tall (12.6 mm). They secure the toughest of small jobs, without scratching and offer excellent electrical insulation and gentle holding power. The overall vise opening width between jaws is 2-1/4" (57.1 mm). Also, since exposure to heat sources is common in vise applications such as gluing, circuit board wiring, jewelry making and use around handheld power tools, the vise head assembly of the PanaVise 301 standard vise is reasonably resistant to heat, with a continuous heat tolerance to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C) and intermittent heat up to 300 degrees F (149 degrees C).
