Blue Spot Tools10020 BlueSpot Hinged Pipe Vice, 7mm - 75mm

Just arrived (a day early), so given it a quick test as a DIYer. Grips well through a piece of cardboard (took note of others reporting jaw-marks; what do you expect. It has to grip a smooth metal surface!!).I’d mounted it on my portable workbench with a couple of clamps. It just works.For me as an infrequent user, it’s perfectly fine. Why spend more - in fact, a trade user could buy three of these for the cost of the next model on Amazon.It’s a very substantial ‘lump’ - not in any way flimsy. Not sure if it’s cast or machined, so would be wary about dropping it.Surprised there were no washers on any of the bolts - but that’s easily remedied.Basically works fine on electrical conduit. Probable ok at its highest range if you were doing big pipe work, but you’d obviously need to bolt properly to a substantial bench for that.

Needed to thread some conduit tube, couldn't get hold of a proper pipe vice. Fixed to the long side of my work bench, worked a treat.Price was reasonable for what I got.

This is much bigger than expected, and will hold pipes much larger than I need for 20mm conduit. It seems very solidly made. I replaced the nuts with nyloc to make it less liable to come loose. Jaws are quite sharp, wrap pipe or jaws in tape to avoid damage

not bad

Arrived on time, dismantled but all parts present and is in full working order. Although original packaging had been opened, the product itself looked barely used.Very pleased with my purchase, at a competitive second-hand bargain price.

Good strong solid bit of kit. Grip seems to slacken after a while, not an issue, but tightening can lead to the conduit showing tooth marks.

A fair quality item which did the job it was intended for. Delivered in tatty packaging but easy to assemble and seems sturdy. Held galvanised conduit well but teeth left some marks. Only used a dozen times so cannot vouch for durability but ok so far.

This is a great little pipe vice. I have used it now for many jobs. I like it.
